New data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concludes that with a 30 percent increase in the past two years, 1 in 68 U.S. children have been diagnosed with ASD concluding that early intervention can greatly improve a child’s long-term development and social behaviors (Autism 2014). There are several factors that may contribute to the rising prevalence rate of ASD. Like other disabilities, the occurrence rate of ASD for boys is five times higher than it is for girls. There could be several reasons for this disparity (Hallahan, Kauffman, Pullen, 2015, pp. 211). An article in Times Magazine entitled “Why Girls May be Protected Against Autism” explores why this may be the case.

III. If you do meet someone with Autism or already have, I ask that you just remember to be patient with them. Sometimes it can be hard to remain patient and calm, when an individual with Autism does something that we may not do ourselves. Like triple checking homework or putting something away only to take it back out four more times. To us, these repetitive behaviors may seem like a waste of time or irrational but to someone with Autism this is a normal activity, and a way for them to cope with their constant anxiety.

He lives in Alabama and did not get diagnosed until very late or receive proper services to help with his development. Growing up and visiting him showed me the importance of receiving services. Seeing this firsthand will aid me in one of my long-term professional goals of working with children who have these developmental delays. Another professional goal would be to work with those in the military or veterans. Both my parents are veterans and stressed the importance that serving in the military has on them as well as the experiences that you gain.
“Autism’s First Child”, “The Killer in the Pool”, and “The Distant Executioner” are my three favorite, in that order, of the articles I read. When I skim through a piece, three things catch my eye; the title, author, and topic. I ranked my top three choice based on the previous concepts. First, the title should be unique and spark an interest. “Autism’s First Child” and “The Killer in the Pool” both encourage the reader to find out more.

The mind of someone autistic is very up front. From what I learned from the book, they do not understand emotion as well as we do. For example, the boy with autism would carry a piece of paper with him that had pictures with different facial expressions depicting emotions on it. When he was confused on how someone felt about something, he would look at his piece of paper and match the face with the person, showing him how to react. Also, they all have special quirks about them, as shown in the book.

Becoming a father in my life was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Living for someone else and not just yourself is a special feeling. Knowing that it is your sole duties in life are now to love, provide, teach, mentor, discipline and love some more. I always hear people say “ Im don 't think I 'm ready to be a parent.” and to be honest I do not think anyone is ready to be a parent.
