Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Millions of people are diagnosed with autism but few know what they go through every day. It is a constant struggle day in and day out of either fearing social interaction or accidental touching of strangers. Their minds work at an entirely different pace, compared to others, running at full speed.

On the day of President Trump’s Inauguration, Time reporter Zeke Miller wrote that a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office. He retracted the statement a few minutes later and apologized for making a mistake. Miller’s apology was ignored by many, including President Trump. A day later, in a speech given to the CIA, President Trump accused Miller of false reporting. “So Zeke, Zeke from Time magazine writes this story about ‘I took down’ — I would never do that because I have great respect for Dr. Martin Luther King. But this is how dishonest the media is.” By accusing Miller of false reporting, President Trump was accusing the reporter of spreading what became commonly known during the 2016 presidential

Gawain is a principle character in Le Morte: tightly woven into the tale of King Arthur from the very beginning. He is the son of King Lot of Orkney and Margause (King Arthur’s sister), making him the eldest, and a favorite nephew of King Arthur. Known for being highly spirited and arguably always noble, Gawain often condemns himself to shame by not being chivalrous. When he is on the course to making bad decisions his brothers, Gaheris, Gareth, Aggravain, and a half brother Mordred tend to follow in his wake. Malory’s Gawain is highly complex, and full of many inconsistencies, which arguably make him the most “human” character in Le Morte. “Human” in the sense that his struggle to uphold the public demands of honor and avoid the constant threat

According to the 2014 estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1 in 68 children have been identified as having an autism spectrum disorder (ASD); a rate that has been steadily growing over the past 20 years (National Autism Association, 2015). Increases in reported frequencies for ASD are most likely due to a combination of factors including broader diagnostic criteria and increased awareness as well as a true increase in the number of people with ASD (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Autism it self does not effect life expectancy and, in general, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) can expect to live as long as the non-cognitively impaired population (National Autism Association,

Autism Spectrum Disorder, abbreviated as ASD, refers to a range of characteristics, signs, and symptoms that are unique. Autism Spectrum Disorder is an umbrella term and has five conditions, which are different but related. The five conditions of Autism Spectrum Disorder: 1) Autism, 2) Asperger Syndrome, 3) Rett’s Disorder, 4) Childhood Disintegrative (CDD), 5) Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS). While each condition may have similarities there are primary differences in regards to their behaviors, social interaction, and ability to communicate.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders with an onset in childhood. They are characterized by impaired communication, abnormal reciprocal social interaction as well as restricted stereotyped range of activities and repetitive behaviors 21.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a class of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social interaction, communication, and restrictive, repeated patterns of behavior observed at the onset of early infancy. The importance of somatosensory, including tactile, processing when studying ASD is often overlooked, but research in the field has progressed to better understand the role that touch plays in the core diagnostic symptoms of the disorder. Early observations of ASD include abnormalities in the response to sensory, especially tactile, stimuli (Kanner 1973). Tactile defensiveness is a common component of these observations, characterized by hyper and/or hypersensitivity to textures, temperatures, vibration, and other tactile

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a term used to describe a category of conditions also referred to as pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). Some of the PDD include: Autism or Autistic Disorder, Rett’s Disorder, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, Asperger’s Disorder, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder---Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) which includes Atypical Autism (Yapko, 2003). These disorders affect three primary areas of development. First is communication, which is verbal and nonverbal. Second there is social interaction. Lastly, there is repetitive patterns of behavior. Children with Asperger’s may not always get along with other children around them. They tend to asphyxiate themselves with one hobby, and learn everything there is to know about it. All of the disorders mentioned can be grouped together under a single heading: Pervasive Developmental Disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV).

Life as a human is full of mystery and discovery. Throughout history, people have set out to learn more about the world and the people inhabiting it. In the process, they gained knowledge about a disorder that is now referred to as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), or simply Autism. ASD is a developmental disorder that results in difficulty in social interactions, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Researchers have come a long way in gathering knowledge about the complex disorder since it was first discovered. Many of its aspects have been discovered and redefined to shape the disorder that is diagnosed and studied today. However, much like many other well-known psychological disorders, autism has yet to be fully understood; instead,

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex set of neurological developmental disorders which are ultimately defined by it diagnosis. ASD is usually characterized by social-interaction difficulties, communication challenges and a tendency to engage in repetitive behaviors (Bailey, Phillips, & Rutter, 1996). The challenges autistic people face start very early on, sometimes barriers are put by people who are supposed to help them the most: their parents or guardians and the health professionals (Ford, Hamilton, Meltzer, & Goodman, 2008), studies had found parents are hesitant to label or even treat their children accordingly to their diagnosis, because they fear it would lead to the stigmatization, rejection and devaluation of their child,

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be defined as a “complex neurological disorder” (National Research Council, 2001), ASD, is the term used to cluster four separate psychiatric disorders together under one umbrella term; Autistic Disorder, Asperger’s disorder, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (American Psychiatric Publishing, 2013). Research by Swedo et al. (2012) recommended that these conditions be grouped together to produce an accurate representation of the current knowledge of autism. The report suggested that clustering these four disorders together would provide a better diagnosis of autism.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is considered one of the most challenging symptoms to deal with. The National Institute of Neurological Disorder and Stroke(2014) indicates that one of every eighty-eight child has ASD while boys are four times higher than girls at the same age group.. ASD is highly researched in North America, Europe, and Asia (Elsabbagh el at., 2012). Yet in the Middle East not much research on ASD has been conducted.. Being from the Middles East, this is surprising given the challenges that parents, caregivers, and teachers have to face when dealing with students who are diagnosed with ASD in the Middle East.

Autism defines as a developmental disability affecting verbal, and non-verbal communication and social interaction. Many experts estimated that 1 out of 68 children are diagnosed with autism and researchers are not sure about what causes it? There are numerous treatment to support children with autism but there is no known cure (Mash and Wolfe, 2015). In article,"The Kid Who Beat Autism", Ruth Padawer states that autism can be cured with A.B.A therapy whereas "The Kid Who Don 't Beat Autism" Joel Yanofsky refers that autism cannot be cured. I believe it depends upon an individual. One patient can significantly develop while other remains the same. Both articles helped me to draw a conclusion for my claim. As Padawer mentioned B who was the patient of Autism recovered with the help of ABA therapy. According to the Yanofsky, Matthew who recieved the same therapy as B did not recovered.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an umbrella term for disorders of brain development. It is a range of conditions and varies in degrees based on difficulties in verbal and nonverbal communication, social interaction, and repetitive behaviors. There are many disorders classified under the term ASD such as classic autism, Asperger syndrome, Rett syndrome and childhood disintegrative disorder. Autism is usually detectable before a child is three years old. Language and communication abilities in children with autism can range from non verbal to an age associated level of communication. Children with autism are often attached to a very strict daily routine.
