autism!!!!!?

Question

I ask many questions on here about autism because my daughter is autistic and am always eager to hear about other peoples experience because as parents of children with autism will know they are like snowflakes no two the same.
I feel quite privaliged to live in the u.k and my daughter goes to an excellent special needs school but i am quite sure in my mind that the americans do lead the way in this field and do alot more for children with asd.
My heart though goes out to countries were it is way down on their priorities either because of war or other reasons. Having a child with autism can be difficult but i thank my lucky stars every day she was born in this country.

Answer 1

I am happy to tell you we have services for autistic children here in Egypt, hope your daughter gets better, it is very good of you to think of people in other countries.

Answer 2

hi. i have worked with children with ASDs contained in the previous and Thomas became fairly impressive on the video- with slightly of success faster or later he will tutor his friends that he became well-loved on YA! do not hardship about the stares. regrettably children with autism were put in hospitals till the Nineteen Nineteen Seventies yet society has developed slightly now and seen they're many times part of society. Edit - I agree - he seems an extremely satisfied youthful lad. you would possibly want to be so proud!

Answer 3

I'm afraid that I'm not as happy with our school system as I could be. They do a lot for my son but only when we identify the need. It seems like we are training them sometimes. It's been 10 years since my son was diagnosed, so maybe we have more experience than some of them do. This being the situation, I wish there was some way to get training and certification so that I could go do their jobs. It is difficult finding the time. energy and $ to try and stay informed. One thing I am very interested in is RDI. Relationship Development Intervention targets specific deficits that hamper the child's ability to interact with others.

Answer 4

I'm from the United States, and while the research toward understanding autism is decent, here -- our educational system, at the least, leaves something to be desired. There are classes in each school specially tailored for those with learning diffiultues -- these classes aim to decrease the learning difficulty, while keeping the students up to par with those in the other classes. They do this by working more slowly. There are very few schools in the U.S. that specialize in autism, deaf children, developmentally handicapped . . . our education system is . . . pathetic.

Answer 5

I live in Illinois and there are no schools here just for special needs they are blended in with everybody else and given individual attention by removal from class a few times a day and worked with one on one and then brought back to regular room to participate with the other children they say this gives them diversity by applying discreet trial and then socialization with regular curriculum kids giving them age appropriate models of behavior. My son has severe asd and is learning to speak write and sing so I'm not going to complain too much. he is given discreet trials during summer and does ot at a local hospital. Pull ups are delivered to our front door and educational supplies are often funded by agencies in our area.

Answer 6

As a mother of a daughter with autism, I'm sure you know that ASD isn't one condition but a whole range from Aspberger's to severely handicapped, with challenging behaviour.
The main common thread seems to be dysfunction with sensory processing which can show itself as hypo or hyper sensitivity to every kind of sensory input - sound, light, touch, taste, texture etc.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and every parent of an autistic child.
