Autism is a neurobiological disorder characterized by deficits in social interaction and communication as well as abnormal behaviors and activities. Its characteristics include delays in language, play, and social skills as well as repetitive movements. While it causes lifelong impacts like difficulty with social interaction, autism can be treated through structured schedules, special education, speech/occupational/physical therapies, and understanding from others. Though autism causes challenges, many people with autism can be high-functioning and productive members of society.Autism Compiled for Wiki

Autism is a developmental disorder that appears in the first three years of life and disrupts social interaction and communication. It is one of five autism spectrum disorders that are characterized by delays in language, social, and behavioral development. While the specific causes are unknown, research is exploring genetic and environmental factors. The prevalence of autism has risen significantly since the 1990s, and it is diagnosed when challenges are seen in language, social behavior, and independent living skills. Early intervention through applied behavior analysis therapy and other treatments can help improve outcomes, but autism is a lifelong condition.Autism pp

This document discusses autism, including what it is, potential causes, signs and symptoms, treatments, facts, and how autism manifests in classrooms. Autism is a disorder of brain development that exists on a spectrum, with some forms being more or less severe. Boys are more likely to be diagnosed than girls. Early intervention and therapies like behavioral, occupational and speech therapies can help treat autism, for which there is currently no cure. Visual aids, social stories and specialized teaching techniques can help students with autism in the classroom.Myths And Facts About Autism

The document discusses positive behavioral support for individuals with autism or other disabilities. It emphasizes that behavior is a form of communication and positive behavioral supports focus on developing relationships and allowing participation in daily life rather than quick fixes or punishment. Positive behavioral supports are respectful, preventative, educational, and individualized.

Autism is a disorder marked by problems with social interaction and communication, as well as restrictive and repetitive behaviors. Some people are born with autism while others develop it later in life. Symptoms typically emerge between ages 2-3 and may include lack of social engagement, delayed language development, and stimming behaviors like hand flapping. While there is no cure, early intervention through specialized education programs can help children with autism improve their communication and learning skills. Providing support is important, as autism often co-occurs with conditions like intellectual disabilities, seizures, or genetic syndromes.Autism and children's mental health

Autism diagnoses have increased to 1 in 100 people in the UK. Support for autistic children in schools has improved but mental health is still important, especially given anxiety is associated with autism. As the course teaches, autistic people must learn to function in a society not designed for them. Support for autism and mental health has increased in schools, meaning children are more likely to have accommodating environments. The course will cover how schools focus on autistic children's mental health and teach social skills so autistic children can interact with peers while promoting autism understanding among other students. Autism is now viewed as an alternate brain wiring rather than a stigma, unlike previous decades.Disability Project - ASD

- 8. Definition "Autism" means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and non-verbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age three, that adversely affects educational performance. Other characteristics often associated with autism are engagement in repetitive activities and stereotyped movements, resistance to environmental change or change in daily routines, and unusual responses to sensory experiences. Autism does not apply if a child's education performance is adversely affected primarily because the child has a serious emotional disturbance, as defined in subrule 41.50(2). A child who manifests the characteristics of autism after the age of three could be identified as having auitsm if the crieria in the first sentence of this subrule are satisfied. This term includes all conditions described by the term "autism spectrum disorder," which adversely affects a child's educational performance. http://www.medicine.uiowa.edu/autismservices/autism_definition.htm
