However, having one, some, or most of the symptoms does not guarantee a person has Asperger’s Syndrome. A child with Apserger’s syndrome tends to have difficulties
Columbus and the Holy Grail What is one of the most historic moments of U.S. history, is also the most horrid one. The notorious Christopher Columbus, was the captain of that moment. In school, they teach all the admirable things about him, but what they failed to say was all the things he did that were so dreadful, they make your stomach churn. Although he made an abundance of admirable discoveries, the heinous outcomes roughly weighed the same.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) a complex effect in brain development has limited many from having the opportunity to live a healthy, normal and stress free life. Today, the pervasiveness of ASD in society has gained momentum. The article, The Epidemiology of Autism Spectrum Disorder, by Newschaffer et al claims that it is “second only to mental retardation as the most common serious developmental disabilities in the United States (2006, p. 21.2).” In an objective but yet deliberate tone, this scientific article states that those who were born with this neurodevelopmental disorder lack skills in social interactions, communication and possess a limited and reoccurring pattern in behavior. The word “spectrum” in ASD refers to the wide range of
A psychiatrist diagnoses Autism using criteria established by the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-5 though observation of the child in an examining room and recording observations made by the parents. Clinicians may also ask parents and teachers to complete behavior checklists such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule and the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised after observing the child’s behavior at home and in the classroom (Hallahan, Kauffman, Pullen, 2015, pp. 216). Clinicians look for signs in social, communication and behavioral differences. Some social differences are that a child with Autism would have little or no eye contact and do not read social cues. They do not respond to a parent’s smile or other facial expressions and often have inappropriate facial expressions.

The expression "pervasive formative issue," likewise called Pdds, alludes to a gathering of conditions that include postpones in the advancement of numerous fundamental abilities. PDD incorporate a few that are described via impeded equal social communication, unusual dialect advancement and limited behavioral collection. There are five sorts of pervasive improvement issue: • autistic issue • asperger's confusion • rett's confusion • childhood disintegrative issue (additionally called disintegrative psychosis) • pervasive improvement issue, not generally defined (PDD-NOS) Youngsters with a mental imbalance are less ready to collaborate with the world as other kids do. Regularly they have shortages in three key zones: social
Asperger’s Syndrome: Stages of Life Asperger’s has many names but only one meaning: “a severe developmental disorder characterized by major difficulties in social interaction, and restricted and unusual patterns of interest and behavior.” Asperger’s was first brought into light in the 1940’s by an Austrian pediatrician named Hans Asperger. Hans Asperger was best known for his studies on early child mental disorders. Hans Asperger conducted research on four boys that appeared to have autism.

Autism is a lifelong brain disorder that messes with the development of the brain and make it harder for a person to communicate and interact with others. Some other symptoms to autism is repetitive behaviors. Since Autism is a spectrum disorder people diagnosed will have similar problems, but their condition will affect them in different ways. It is also a spectrum disorder because not every child has the same problems. One child can

Females with ASD will show signs of increased social impairment, and a possible heightened risk of suppressing their emotions. It is especially important to watch for symptoms when the social difference between children with ASD and children without ASD become more. The reason I chose this article is because it has always been an interest of mine. I believe so many people don’t know about the disorder and have such a misunderstanding of it. Many believe it only affects the males, but there are females who have autism spectrum disorder.
Introduction: Back in 1972 a case was brought up on behalf of 7 students between the ages of 8 and 16, who lived in Washington D.C. These students were students with disabilities. They were excluded from their public schools, and educational services were denied to them. The children were denied entrances to public schools in the District of Columbia due to their mental retardation, emotional issues, ADD, and ADHA (Waddy, 1972). Though the school system did acknowledge that an estimated 12,340 students would not receive schooling due to their disabilities just in the 1971-72 school year (Martin, Martin, & Terman, 1996). The school systems had stated that they could not afford to provide these students with special education unless they
Autism is a brain development disorder characterized by continuous problems in social communication and interaction, besides with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests or activities. ASD stands for Autism Spectrum Disorder and can sometimes be referred to as Autistic Spectrum Disorder. As stated by the Medical News Today (2015), Autism Spectrum Disorder is a wide-spectrum disorder. This means that there will be no same people who will have the exact and same symptoms. And as well as experiencing altering combinations of symptoms, because some people will have mild symptoms while others will have severe ones.
The reason for this is because the cause can be very difficult to determine. For socially constructed disabilities, it is important to determine if the cause is actually a disability or if the child is does not fit into the expected norms of society. In other words, is this a true disability or is it considered a disability due to social norms and standards. Furthermore, do these social constructs cause the exclusion of students from general education classroom or other situation that students would normally be allowed to participate?
