Autism is a lifelong developmental disability. People who have this kind of disease are in need for a help. In this article I will mention the causes of the autism, the characteristics of the affected people and what we can do for them.
Investigators are still searching for the causes. However, they suggested that it might be a matter of genetics and environment. Children who are born with autism, they grow up with it.
Autistic people aren’t the same. There is some difference. They are divided into 3 groups;
§ People having difficulties with social communication like understanding body language, jokes and facial expressions.
§ People having difficulties with social interactions like recognizing other people’s emotions and feelings. This make them appear as if they have no feelings. Also they like to be alone rather than spending time with other people.
§ People having difficulties with social imagination like understanding other’s behavior, predicting what’s going to happen and planning for the future. Children with autism are stick to some imaginary games and they keep playing the same game over and over.
In a conclusion, whatever we do we can’t eliminate the effects of autism. But we can give them the support. Specialists can evaluate each case and try to work on their weaknesses. At the end they are humans and they need our help as well as we are when we need a hand.
