Introduction

How many of you know what asperger’s syndrome is? How many of you know what autism is?

Today, I am going to inform you more about the symptomes of the disorder, how the parents of the child could of played a role in giving the disorder, the cost of living, and famous people who have, had, or expected to have aspergers.

How many of you know a famous person who has autism or aspergers? Just because you have a disorder does not mean that you can not still achieve a certain goal.

The fact is many famous people who had aspergers still had a very successful lifestyle.

The article (“Famous People Who Have or Had Asperger’s Syndrome.”disabled world towards tomorrow) states that many people have aspergers disease and still achieved their dream. From an actress, to becoming a professional surfer, to being one of the finalist on American Idol: Daryl Hannah, Clay Marzo, and James Durbin are just a few of the people that have aspergers but did not let that stop them.

Though never diagnosed, there are some famous people that we all know who was expected to have aspergers syndrome.

Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Emily Dickinson, George Washington, Isaac Newton, and Thomas Jefferson are just a few of the most well known people who were speculated to have autism syndrome.

If you know someone who is a little anomaly, that does not mean that you have to be biased against them. Bullying is a big part of a autistic person’s life, speaking from experience, it impacts their lives completely. Sometimes the smallest thing that you would consider nice could mollify them and make their day.

The next time you see someone struggling or being bullied, stand up for them, because they could have something wrong with them that makes them unable to do it for themselves, but you

What Eating Gilbert Grape Analysis

Personal attitudes towards people with a disability would have strongly influenced the town of Endora’s behaviour to Arnie. Music played in the film was soft and may have been used to make the audience feel sympathy towards Arnie because he has a disability. However, Hallstrom’s analysis of people with autism cannot be completely accurate as in the film it never recognises that people with autism are highly intelligent in the creative field. Recent studies are shown that the way people perceive creativity and people with autism should be reconsidered. The research article concludes that the authors found that “Autistic people tend to be superior to non-autistic people in many tasks that require processing large amounts of information, picking out details of objects or scenes, or detecting changes in the environment.”

After reading this book, I gained a better comprehension on the psychological and behavioral aspects that control the neurological processes of the brain. I personality do not have a back ground in understanding Asperger syndrome other than explanations provided from medical studies. The writing style of this story, especially when Christopher gets anxious or nervous, really explains all the thought processes a child must go through relying on every explanation of a scenario to explain a simple situation.

Hans Asperger, Austrian pediatrician, also made the remark that those diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome are “ little professors”, because of their extensive vocabulary and their habit to “lecture” about their knowledge (What Genius and Autism have in Common). Those with Asperger's are also known for their great attention to detail, which is one of the desired qualities for success in young prodigies. Parallel to this, there have been other young autistic prodigies, such as a child beginning to speak at just three months old, stopped for eighteen months,then started again around the age of two, and another who became a math whiz and wrote a paper that was accepted to publish into a mathematics journal at just 13-years-old. These accomplishments alone are not enough to uncover the whole spectrum of abilities and talents those with autism have to hold or the potential to hold, but it showcases the opportunities that autistic people may have in the intellectual community.
