What do you think about people such as kids or teens with autism and pleas give me a honest anwser.?

Answer 1

What's there to think about ? Kids, teens or grown-ups with Autism, are people.... just like anyone else.

I care for 3 children with Autism, (9, 12 and 17 ) and my 6 year old grandson has just been diagnosed with Aspergers.... I love each one of them for who they are, and I'm so grateful to have each and every one of them in my life.

Answer 2

Your answers are going to be all over the map because "Autism Spectrum Disorder" is such a broad spectrum.

A person who knows of a child who bangs his head on the wall and can't speak will respond very differently from someone who knows a computer programmer with Asperger's.

My neice is pretty Low-Functioning (though it's a very rare occasion she ever bangs her head) so there is a lot of pity and compassion (as well of masses of love) in the mix with me.

But we need to be very grateful for all the things invented & improved by the obsessive mindset of the person with High-Functioning Autism. Given the linier mindset of many with Asperger's it is very likely many of our greatest minds in Science had Asperger's.

Answer 3

You plead for an honest answer; therefore your question is an honest one.
Respecting your sincerity, I applaud your courage in asking what many would consider an inflammatory question. But I doubt that you intend to be inflammatory in your question.
Those who have personal relations with children with autism value their eccentricities and personal characteristics as well as being empathic with their difficulties. They see the whole of the person. As one matures and opens to absorbing those things in people that are unfamiliar or strange, they have more comfort with the person, and they see more deeply the real person and more deeply the difficulty that that person has and experiences viz a viz the mainstream. The courage of the child with autism to go day after day into a misunderstanding society is highly remarkable, and is seen by those who care to see. Thank you for asking the question.

Answer 4

As I'm the mother of a six year old with autism, I say there just people. Everyone has something different about them, people who have autism are just singled out for more than others. And they are very misunderstood by people who are not in contact with them on a daily bases. I think their sterotyped to much.People just need to be more understanding.

Answer 5

I think they are wonderful insightful people if we could just listen to them and understand. My son is almost 4 and has autism. Some of the things he comes up with are amazing. I have to remember that I need to be precise about what I want from him as he is very literal. No joking about getting a job as he wants to find one and will figure out what he needs to do to get one. To me autism is just one facet of my son. He isnt autism he has autism; kinda like a person isnt brown haired they have brown hair.

Answer 6

I don't understand the meaning of your question. Why should someone's worth be decided by who they are or by a consensus of people on Y!A? Autistic people are part of human diversity and are as deserving of as much respect, dignity, and opportunities as anyone else. They are different than most people but that does not make them any less valuable. They are misunderstood and dehumanized in a way that is alarming to me, though. They deserve a better world than what we're giving them.

Answer 7

They are just like you and I. They have their way of talking and communicating. I have been working with special needs children for 6 years and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The kids I work with are so much fun. They teach me that I shouldn't care what other people think of me. I have seen so many of these kids get picked on and they still walk with their head high and a smile on their face.

Answer 8

I think people (kids and adults alike) who have Autism have a lot to teach US. If only people would open their minds and not let their brains fall out we would all be better off learning from those with Autism !

Answer 9

I have worked with Autistic kids and teens for 5 years. They are just the same as everyone else they just have different ways of communicating, of learning, of thinking. Something easy to us may be a difficult task for them. They are all different but you love them just the same.

Answer 10

What an odd question. They are people. They exist in the world today. That is like asking what you think about blonds. You are asking about something that is a reactionary response about people who have no say with their condition.
