How do you view people that are abnormal or autistic?

Question

What actions do you express or give to them?

Answer 1

My son is autistic and when I tell people he is they are extremely surprised because he looks and acts SO " NORMAL "
I get dirty looks when he has a melt down in public sometime, they think im not parenting or hes a spoiled brat, but little do they know the struggle. Imagine having a 3 yr old child that is stronger than a 260 pound parent when they get mad or have an aggression attack.

I view autistics in a higher light than most cause I know what they are capable of, watch out world.

Do you know some of the most beautiful artworks and inventions were created by autistics ?

PS.

all my son knows is LOVE, he will probably NEVER know what hate is

Answer 2

If I am just passing I will give them a smile just as I would anyone else I met. If they were working, as there are several at a local McDonald's, I would tell them they are doing a great job and say hi. They deserve recognition for as far as some of them have come and things they can do now in life that they were never allowed or thought of being allowed to do before. They can hold jobs, live on their own in some instances.

Answer 3

Everyone says to treat them normal, like everyone else. But when you think about it, what the heck is normal? No body is normal. Everyone is different and has their quirks. Therefore there is no 'normal' or 'abnormal' cause then everyone would be abnormally normal, or normally abnormal....

Lol, if you understood that, wow, good job, cause I don't even though I'm the one who wrote it.

I view them as I view everyone else. As they are.

Answer 4

Well. my 1st cousin is autistic, and we treat him just as we'd treat anyone else in the family. We do give him a little more attention, though. I think that all these people want is to be treated respectfully.

Answer 5

i had the oppertunity to spead quite a lot of time recentlee with an person who had a form of autism, i wud be lying to say i wus completelee comfortable..but i think the experiance wus a gud one for me because it helped me be more comfortable and try my best to treat them just like anybody else. it really showed me that each person has a noble purpose in life, even if it is to teach others to be patient and greatful for life, or show us that a childlike simplicity in needs and outlook is not always a bad way of looking at the world.

Answer 6

they need more special attention than sane people, they should be well taken care of because as we all know, their imagination or thoughts were far worse or far better than what normal people has. sometimes it depends, if this abnormals harms other or they threat lives, they should be assessed why they act that way, they should have proper treatment and must be engaged in an institute.

Answer 7

My nephew is autistic. I love him and treat him like a normal boy.

Answer 8

i see them as a special creation of God. Special..... meaning we need to give them a little more attention, affection and love than ordinary people does. And special because when you really get to know them, you will be surprised to find out that they are genius and talented.

Answer 9

I treat them like normal people, don't you think they feel abnormal enough without us treating them differently??

Answer 10

i tend to feel sorry for them, i know i shouldn't they're people just like us but if you put yourself in there shoes it's a bad feeling. there are autistic people older than me but they still watch teletubbies and barney. it's very sad. whenever they may need one, im there to give them a hug.
