why does an autistic child loves to hop? and why does he include unnecessary details in a conversation?

Answer 1

Because he is sick. Brain development is the problem.

Answer 2

I am an adult with mild autism. I rock back and forth for hours a day and I also rewind and replay parts of videos, movies, songs over and over. I don't know why I do the same thing over and over but I believe that it helps me think. Kinda like how other people meditate.

I have a problem with conversation too. Part of the reason people with autism put in unnecessary details in their conversation is because they lack central coherence/thinking. They have a hard time seeing the whole picture and what is important. So they focus on details. Many autsitic characteristics are actually related to this and not just conversation. How a person with autism views the world is the same way. They are focused on details and can miss the bigger picture.

Answer 3

My oldest son is borderline autistic, but he doesn't hop, but when he was younger, he would hold objects next to the corner of his eye, and as far as the unnecesarry details, it's all a part of autism. My son isn't really bad with his autism, but I can see it.

Like some of the others have said about autism, I know that autistic children's brain's work a bit differently.

My suggestion is to learn as much about autism as you can. My wife and I have always felt that even though our son has autism, we were not going to treat him any different than we do with our other 2 kids, and it's really helped him knowing that we don't treat him more special than his younger sister and younger brother because of his autism.

Hope that this helps.

God Bless

Answer 4

autistic children sometimes have awkward gaits or stereotypical body postures, due to their proprioceptive sensory problems, i.e. perception of their body in space. or they could be practicing a form of self-stimulation.
hopping may result from a sensory sensitivity like pressure on the bottom of the feet. another problem with autistic children is social. they do not realize that the people that they are talking to do not want to listen to all the unncessary details. they cannot sense that the listener may be bored or just politely listening. but don't underestimate children with autism. they are often gifted individuals. just because someone sees the world differently then so called "normal" people, does that make any less human? practice tolerance and learn to embrace their idiosyncracies. you will be rewarded for your patience and your love.

Answer 5

The unnecessary details are part of the autisticism (if that's a word). The hopping is just a response to outside stimuli. Their brains are getting stimulated (just like ours) but they can't block out the stimuli. They have a NEED to jump and move around. Alot of OCD sufferers have the same problems.

Answer 6

Autistic kids do and say things differently, because their brains work differently. You cannot expect an answer to your question because all autistic children are not the same. It is like asking why English men like to drink warm beer, or why Italians like pasta, or why girls wear skirts. Some do, some don't, and all to different extents and purposes. Consider the answers to this question, they will all be different.

Answer 7

In the same way that most people with heart disease have the symptom of chest pain, autistic people have a disorder in their brain which causes them to have similar odd (to us) behavior patterns. Another example which is more on the level of a brain disorder is that people with depression are all sad. It's just the way the disorder manifests.

Answer 8

It is a coping mechanism.Some autistic people clap pace and talk to themself.Unnecessary details is just part of being a kid.

Answer 9

because their reality is not our reality. It depends on how high functioning they are. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/autism/detail_autism.htm
