Did you know that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) covers a wide variety of symptoms, skills, and levels of impairment?

Autism is not a single condition, but rather a spectrum of closely related disorders with shared core symptoms. Every individual on the autism spectrum has problems to some degree with social interaction, empathy, communication, and flexible behavior. But the level of disability and the combination of symptoms varies tremendously from person to person.

For instance, some people on the autism spectrum may have impressive language skills while others may not speak at all. And while some are socially engaged, others are markedly withdrawn. 🌈

People with ASD may have exceptional abilities in visual skills, music, and academic skills. About 40% of those with ASD have average to above average intellectual abilities. 💡

Keep in mind, everyone's autism journey is unique. Let's continue to embrace the diversity of experiences in our community. 💙

Here are the TOP 7 Autism Myths Vs Facts reality that every needs to see! Buckle Up - and enjoy! There are lots of myths and urban legends floating around about autism. Some hold some truth and meaning but most don’t. I have collected 7 of the most interesting ones to debunk and show the facts behind the myth to help clear the mist and create more understanding for autism. 1.Everyone Is A Little Bit Autistic Not at all, In fact about 1 in 100 in the UK are and about 1 in 60 in the USA are. 2.Only Boys Can have Autism This is untrue, the ratio is that autism is 3 times more likely to be diagnosed in males than females but this is a diagnostic thing not genetic. 3.Vaccines Cause Autism THIS IS NOT TRUE, and has been tested and vetted to be a bogus claim. 4.Only Children Have Autism Not at all, autism is al ice long disability that is neurological and persists a person sons entire life. 5.Bleaching Cures It This is not only wrong but extremely dangerous, please contact the police if you know anyone is doing this. 6.Autism Is An Excuse for Naughty Behaviour This is just what people say who don’t understand autism or are not willing to understand. Autism is not an excuse it is a life long disability. 7.Autism Didn’t Exists Until Pushy Parents Did This is incorrect, as far back as some very prominent scientists like Isaac Newton and the likes, have been documented that they displayed autistic traits and behaviour.

when schroeder says “musicians don’t dance” he says this because he does not like to dance at all. he’s very coordinated with his hands but not with his feet at all. when there’s music playing that he’s not playing himself and he’s groovin to it, he air-conducts instead. lorde style of dancing. he only dances w lucy to slow songs at prom bc all he has to do is sway back and forth. #autismfact

Did you know? Autism can come with unique challenges that make certain aspects of life more difficult. According to a study published in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, individuals with autism often face difficulties with sensory sensitivities, social communication, and executive functioning1. However, it's important to understand that these are not indications of being 'weaker' or 'less than'. These are simply different ways of experiencing and interacting with the world.

Research, such as a study in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, suggests that autistic individuals often have exceptional skills in areas like pattern recognition, attention to detail, and heightened perception in vision, taste, and touch2. These unique strengths, however, are often overshadowed by societal norms and structures that fail to accommodate neurodiverse needs. This can lead to a misconception that individuals on the autism spectrum are 'less capable,' which is far from the truth.

Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and our differences make us who we are. Embracing neurodiversity is essential in fostering understanding and acceptance.

Here are 5 super interesting facts about autism you need to see! I love learning and knowing about the history and the development of autism research . I have collected a few of the interesting facts about autism and I am sure you are going to enjoy them. 1.History Autism was first studies in the 1940s 2.Name Change It was originally called early infertile autism, from the research done by Leo Kanner in the early stages. 3.More Common In Males? Autism is currently 3 times more likely to be diagnosed in males than females. There is a lot of skepticism around this due to the difference male top female traits 4.Diagnosis On The Rise There is a large increase in the amount of people diagnosed now, these could be factors down to a rise in understanding and a development in the diagnosis approach. 5.No Known Cause There is currently no known cause of autism, the only understanding of it is that it is genetic. Please leave a comment if you have anything to add. Also follow @TheAspieWorld for more autism content. Video: https://youtu.be/WzyQtf3LPPo?si=jXxtzpwn_7z-YFMr https://bit.ly/498H8p2

Facts and Causes of Autism

Before we get into the details of causes of Autism, let us understand some facts that surround this disorder. Here are the some facts of children with autistic disorder. Autism Facts - According to the current estimate, every one child out of 59 births is said to have Autism. - Close to 85% autistic adults are unemployed. - It is most common among boys than among girls. - ASD is common among all groups, races of society. Causes Yes, as a parent of an autistic child, we want to know the causes of Autism. This is the random question asked to every doctor on hearing that their child is Autistic. Most of them think autism is caused by genetic and doctors say there are several other genes (that cause autism) which they are yet to locate. They are also caused due to environmental trigger. Environmental Factors

Studies have shown that autism is also possible due to environmental factors. For instance; toxins and pollution around us could be a reason for a child to be autistic. These are research made in small towns based on the toxins released from industries across the belt of such towns. This has caused pollution that has resulted in the rise of autism cases. Vaccination & Mercury There is a belief that autism was the result of a vaccination named Thimerosal. This is because autism was diagnosed at the time when vaccination was given. However, as the research went much deeper, it was told there were no proof to show any relation between the two, vaccination and Autism. An amount of mercury is present in vaccination. However, studies show that high levels of Mercury could also cause autism in children. Hence, the belief that autism was caused due to Vaccination. The fact remains that usually a very small amount of mercury or thimerosal is present in vaccination and this does not cause autism. Mercury is emitted through industrial waste or by consuming plenty of fish (as mercury content is high in fish). As a result of these studies, pregnant women and their babies are tested for mercury content in their body system. This can ensure proper monitoring of the babies. Here is a list of other causes that has come to light due to deeper studies. - Autism could be caused due to underlying health issues. - Diseases such as congenital rubella, fragile X syndrome, metabolic imbalance also cause autism. Earlier, mothers were pointed for a child to be autistic; they were blamed for not dedicating enough time, love, care, and affection towards the child. In some cases the parents were blamed for bad parenting. Doctors thought an emotional trauma could also be one of the causes. However, as time paved way for more research these theories were proved wrong. There is no definite theory against why autism is caused. Doctors are yet to investigate on this factor to analyse the right cause that is relatable and also find a better cure for the Childs growth and support in the society. Read the full article

Helping Grandparents Understand Autism

Sometimes the grandparent is the first to recognize that there is something different about this child. At times the parent is resistant to the suggestion that the child may need to be seen by a specialist. Time is your friend when it comes to parental realization, but the earlier the child is identified, the more help can be provided to them. If you are the grandparent of a child who may have autism, you are to be congratulated on searching for information. Arming yourself with good solid information is the best thing you can do to understand this grandchild and how you can best fit into his life. Becoming a grandparent is one of life’s greatest joys, and this joy should not be diminished by individual differences. As a grandparent faces any physical disability or developmental disability, it is natural to wonder what lies ahead. A million questions may flood over you. In the new book, Helping Grandparents Understand Autism, you may find answers to many of your questions. Dr. Linda Barboa and Jan Luck, the authors, provide clear, concise information to get you on the right path in your search for answers. Autism is a sensory perception disorder As we all go through our everyday lives, our brains continually collect information about the world around us through our senses (including vision, hearing, smell, touch and taste). In autism, the senses may be over or under processing the incoming stimuli. People with autism are not able to make sense of the incoming sensory information. The issues may vary throughout a person’s lifetime, or even day to day. Helping Grandparents Understand Autism focuses on the areas of communication, the senses, social interactions and behaviors which are the characteristics that are common in children with autism. Distorted sensory perception is a major part of autism. The way a person with autism perceives the world around him is different from the way that others get information from the environment. One or more of the senses may be affected. Appropriate social interactions are important for a happy and productive life. Forging friendships and having good relationships with others is dependent on successful social interactions. People on the autism spectrum may exhibit some or all of these social difficulties. Behavior is an attempt to communicate. A person’s behaviors are his way of communicating his needs, his sensory overloads and his frustrations. Helping Grandparents Understand Autism explores each of these topics in depth, giving examples to help grandparents identify these needs in their grandchild. Specific strategies are given to help grandparents build a relationship that they will treasure forever. Read the full article

People often think that people diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) don’t make eye contact. While it is a symptom, many people with ASD do indeed make eye contact regularly. . . . . . #eyecontact #autismfacts #autism #ASD #autismawareness #autismawarenessmonth #autismspectrum #autismspectrumdisorder #autismspeaks #lightitupblue #cindytgrahamphd #brighterhopewellnesscenter #brighterhopewc (at Brighter Hope Wellness Center)
