oh autism means,
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects the way a person communicates and relates to people around them. Children and adults with autism have difficulties with everyday social interaction. Their ability to develop friendships is generally limited as is their capacity to understand other people's emotional expression.
People with autism can often have accompanying learning disabilitities but everyone with the condition shares a difficulty in making sense of the world.

There is also a condition called Asperger syndrome, which is a form of autism used to describe people who are usually at the higher functioning end of the autistic spectrum.
Although it was first identified in 1943, autism is still a relatively unknown disability. Yet autistic spectrum disorders are estimated to touch the lives of over 500,000 families throughout the UK.
People with autism are not physically disabled in the same way that a person with cerebral palsy may be; they do not

People with autism are not physically disabled in the same way that a person with cerebral palsy may be; they do not require wheelchairs and they 'look' just like anybody without the disability. Due to this invisible nature it can be much harder to create awareness and understanding of the condition.
THERE THATS THE FULL MEAN OF AUTISM

Answer 1

Hi there,

Thanks to you indeed for asking this question. This is a very difficult question for me to answer, because I am not autistic.
Anyway, I'll give it a try and I'll answer your questions backwards.

Although, I am not autistic, I do have a *minority* [i.e. non-mainstream] background. I belong to the Islamic faith group. I believe you already know how the followers of Islam are nowadays looked down upon. Islamic beliefs are generally demonised in the media through either deliberate misinterpretations or due to misunderstanding. Whatever it may be, to answer your question "how would you like to be treated?":
I would like to be treated with DIGNITY, mutual RESPECT and EQUALITY. Most certainly, I do NOT like to be JUDGED by the others. I think all human beings expect to be treated the same way I have mentioned here.

To answer your other questions:
"How would you be knowing you are different and disabled?"

Different: You know you are different when your physical feature, mental capacity, personality, attitude, behavior, beliefs or values are *different* to that of the *majority* people. For example, if there are 10 people in a room, and all white males, except for one black female, then the black female is the one who is *different*. It's all *relative* depending on the circumstances, you know.

Disabled: Again, it's all *relative*. You are disabled if you cannot perform a task which could be done by the *majority* of the people of your age. You are disabled if you cannot function, meaning if you are not capable of doing basic tasks required to live "independently". The standard is set by the *majority*, and thus, is always a comparative term conditional upon the general population. For example, most people can see with their eyes. If you don't, I mean, if you are blind, then you are *visually* disabled, but you may be highly able in other areas, like you may have a beautiful voice and aptitude for music. Being disabled does NOT mean you are good for nothing; it only means you cannot perform basic tasks in one or few *particular* fields and may excel [meaning you may be a high-achiever] in other areas.

Now, concerning "daily routines", "flappy autistic moments", and "obsessions".

My 5-year-old child is autistic.
I try to keep her daily schedule fairly consistent --- things like, meal times, nap times, bath times, shopping times, fun times etc. If there needs to be a change in her schedule, I try to keep her informed about this *well in advance*. For example, if we plan to fly overseas during a vacation, I *remind* her everyday for 30 days before the actual event occurs. I give her a lot of info about what to expect at the new place or what it would be like to be in an aircraft, for example.

Flappy autistic moments: My child does not flap, but has other sensory issues. For example, she likes to feel the pressure around her wrists. I have bought for her "weight wrist patch" used by people usually during sports. I try to accommodate her sensory needs in settings which I deem "appropriate". This means I have set rules about what she can do in private, but keep away from doing the same actions in public. There are certain things which will be considered rude if done in public, say, [just for an example,] masturbation.

My child has certain obsessions. I tend to think obsessions are not necessarily bad at all. You can turn your obsessions into *assets* if you utilize them in the right place at the right moment. For an example, say, if you have an obsession with cleanliness, you will be HIGHLY valued in certain employment areas. So, just think about your obsessions again and try to find suitable/ matched areas of employment where your obsessions will be VALUED. Say, if you have an aptitude for music, then go for the music industry....you have to find out *which* field of employment will be best suited for your skills. You can easily put your obsessions to good use. My child is obsessed with names of any kind. So, I tapped into her "obsessions" and taught her many medical terms, which I doubt anybody her age would know about.

Sorry about my not-so-nice-and-easy English -- I couldn't help much, too.
I hope my answer was of some use to you.

I wish you succeed at the highest level.

Cheers!

Answer 2

You can't generalise how people with autism behave. Because autism is on a spectrum there is a wide range of behaviours involved so no two autistic people are the same. All people who are on the autistic spectrum do however share the same triad of impairments. Autism is such a wide spectrum every person with an ASD will have different strengths and weaknesses. My daughter has an ASD (asperger syndrome), and has been told she is a maths genius. Yet she has no want of friends and cannot socialise. She has obsessions which take up a lot of her time as do her daily routines which must be followed. She knows she is different and tries to accept this. Most of the time it is the rest of society that has a problem with her and not the other way round. Just remember all autistic people are individuals and all have good and bad points just like the rest of us.

Answer 3

I don't have autism myself but I have a 3yr old son that does. The most surprising thing to me was how little people know about what Autism is or what it involves. To answer your ? I would say it really depends on each individual as far as the daily routine goes, obsessions, etc. Each person with Autism, even though they may have the same characteristics,acts differently. Some are obsessed with letters/numbers, some have different levels of sensory issues, each person is different. There's just so much to consider. Most autistics have some kind of occupational therapy and language/speech therapy worked into their schedules. I think one of the most important things you can do is try to treat someone with Autism normal. Many autistics lead very normal lives, some are quite intelligent. I feel everyone should educate themselves on Autism. Autism affects more people than Diabetes does and yet hardly anyone knows a thing about Autism. Autism is the leading devolpmental disability in the world. Autism affects 1 in every 150 births, on a increase of 10-17 % per year it is estimated by 2015 that it will be 1 in every 9-10 births. It's just a matter of time before it affects every birth. The saying goes that the childern hold the key to the future, then we need to educate ourselves to help these childern as much as we can. I wish people would understand that when a child with Autism acts out they are not misbehaving but rather dealing with something the only way they know how to and instead of giving you those "looks" and mumble behind your back, ask if you may need help. I would love to see any parent with a "normal" child deal with an Autistic child for just 1 day so they know what it is really like...."hands on" experience. Every chance I get I try to educate someone about Autism..it's a reality and it needs to be dealt with.

Answer 4

Hi...

I'm not autistic, so i am not sure what i would do or how i would live my daily life.

It seems as if you are doing a wonderful job of taking care of yourself, from what you said here.

I'm very pleased for you!

I am physically disabled and have bipolar disorder.... how do i live my daily life? I am an artist and work on my paintings. I am also studying to become a Microsoft Specialist, as well.

take good care!

Answer 5

I really cant say that...and please dont take any notice of people who belittle you to make themselves look better..

My best friends nephew has autism, hes a little angel, but my goodness, has a temper...which is obviously a symptom of this condition... He has a ery set routine and you really cant deviate from it at all without causing him a great deal of distress.. He's just started school full time and it was a very traumatic experience for him and his family... But he's slowly adjusting...

I really cant say how I'd feel with that particular condition and I think you seem very intelligent and extremly knowledgable on it, but I do have discalculia...(which is like dyslexia - but with numbers instead of letters..they get all jumbled up and I cant do simple things like write down telephone numbers in the right order..) and I did for the last three years have cancer, I didnt want to be treated any differently by people, in that, I wanted to be spoken to like an intelligent adult, but on the other side, I didnt like it when people would completely ignore that fact, as I found it was them feeling embarrased of afraid of mentioning it, and to me, it sometimes felt like I was invisable... and when you're struggling, its nice for someone to say, 'hey, I know you've got this..(whatever it is) and if you need any help, im here' just a little acknowledgement... I dont know if you're the same...

Maybe its nice for people to know about your autism as sometimes, if you behave or react a different way to everyone else, it helps people to understand why and also, it helps people to be better individuals...To accept all of society and embrace everyone, regardless...

EDIT: I would like to say though, it seems weird you have spelt everything else on all your other questions perfectly, but this time, have made loads of mistakes....I'd say your dyslexia was fairly borderline and intermittant, as my brother has it and he could not manage to be quite so literate and eloquant with his speech...So there's something to be grateful for.

Answer 6

My son is autistic and he wishes for nothing more than for people to treat him as normal..

His daily routine is a struggle and he gets frustrated,confused and angry very easily ...

My son knows he is different as society does not accept him and his disorder

Answer 7

I spelled the words for you that were misspelled & I hope you don't mind. :)

(1) aurtisic=autistic
(2) obbsestions=obsessions
(3) ur=you're
(4) disabiled=disabled

If I was "autistic" I would hope that people would truly understand what it's all about, & be understanding.
