    I wish that schools would educate children on this. Not enough people understand what it is.

    it is so difficult as it is different in every person... so you cant just assume that one treatment method works for all but it is so important to keep trying... find what works... dont give up... they can do well... they can learn... they can succeed... I promise you they can... love them... support them make them feel a part of the bigger world

    Autism has no cure and doesn’t go away with age. Being around neurotypical children is certainly not more effective than therapies. Respectfully, mother of an autistic child who homeschools due to years of bullies. Now she needs another therapy. Wishful thinking without knowledge is what I’d call this.

    Here’s a story: there’s a kid who has autism, adhd and central auditory processing disorder. He goes to class everyday. He takes so long to get his work done because he can’t focus, and he can’t understand what the teacher is saying because it sounds like mumbo jumbo because of central auditory processing disorder. He also has trouble with social skills because it’s hard for him to understand what his peers are saying in a conversation. His hearing is very sensitive, so every little noise sounds like nails on a chalkboard. He is overwhelmed all the time.
    This kid eventually goes under the care of an excellent psychiatrist who gets him on board with ABA, educational therapy, and speech therapy. However, thing that really changed this kid’s life was treating central auditory processing disorder. The only reason this kid got diagnosed with central auditory processing disorder was because his dad happened to remember reading about it briefly in medical school, so it was by chance that this kid was eventually able to go to a university.
    That kid was me. There’s something wrong with the whole system. Speech therapy would have done me no good. One of the main reasons why I struggled socially and academically was because of central auditory processing disorder, and I had a REALLY severe form of it.

    I have it, and was diagnosed at age three. I have (and have had) some accommodations, like a weighted lap pad. I would say that I’m not overly sensitive to sound or light p but I could NEVER eat applesauce (texture problem). I am fifteen and wish to teach special education especially Autism

    I appreciate the goal of this; however, I would ask that you not talk about a need for a "cure" - it is a difference in brain "wiring" that is genetic. Autistics do not need to be "cured" of who they are, but accepted and accommodated where necessary. Thank you for encouraging the latter, as you have done. My son is autistic and proud of it, and I believe I am as well. Keep advocating, keep learning, keep speaking out!

      You are being very untruthful (to yourself) or you're simply just living in a fantasy❗
      Why shouldn't she talk about a cure for autism❓ Many parents lie that they are proud of their autistic child (that autistic child that comes with the challenges of some being non-verbal, some having to wear diapers until they are 5-12 y/o , some self-harming, some with a learning disability, some who are violent and some who just needs constant supervision because of just going around the house breaking everything). Ask each parent privately if they want a cure for that and EVERY parent experiencing THOSE challenges would jump to get the cure.
      Parents (naturally) want their kids to be perfect or close to perfect. That's why parents put braces on their kids teeth, get them glasses, etc.
      funny how the speaker first mentioned that vaccines may have been thought of as the cause for autism. THAT'S BECAUSE VACCINES ARE THE CAUSE FOR AUTISM ❗❗
      After my son got vaccinated at age 2, he was never the same ❗

      Here me out, I respect you belife but I think the opposite, I wish more things would talk about finding a cure or perventive mesuer. I have 3 ASD kids, alot of people who care for ASD kids and people who cant speak for themselves would like perventive measures, a cure, whys to help.
      You are lucky to be aboul to share you thoughts on ASD, my children can't and hurt them selfs by slaming there heads into the floors and walls. They will not live a normal life, and yes a normal life is important.
      All I'm saying is there is people on both sides. I stoped commenting on videos that say it dose not need a cure maby you could consider stop counting on videos that say we do need one.

      In my opinion, there’s no such thing as autism. I think autism is a combination of various developmental disorders, environmental factors, and personal factors that all come together to form symptoms of “autism.” If my theory is true, then ya can’t cure something that doesn’t exist 😂. What we can do is treat the various developmental disorders autistic people may have to help improve the quality of their life. It’s not possible to “change” somebody. You will always be you, and I will always be me. There’s nothing that can change that.

    I’m pretty sure autism is a combination of various different developmental disorders (many of which we may not have discovered yet), environmental factors, and maybe some other things, but I can’t say for sure because I’m not a doctor. I know for me, I am autistic, and the main reason why I struggled in school when I was younger was because I had central auditory processing disorder and ADHD. Once I got those things treated, I excelled. When I went back to school after getting treatment for central auditory processing disorder and ADHD, I was shocked by how easy it was to listen to the teacher and do well in school.
    I used to be mid-functioning, but now I am the most high functioning person you could possibly meet.

  • @Dave-b9i
    @Dave-b9i 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Many autistic kids seem happy and oblivious on the outside, but on the inside, they suffer. For me, I used to be mid-functioning autistic, and I struggled in school because it was difficult for me to pay attention to the teacher due to ADHD and central auditory processing disorder. My parents thought I struggled socially because I was too much in my own little world, but in reality, I just had extensive difficulty understanding what people were saying because I perceived sound differently. I also have a friend who used to be very severely autistic, but is now pretty much "normal." He didn't start talking until second grade. He says that when he was very young, life was VERY difficult for him because he couldn't communicate and his body would force him to flap his hands and shout, kind of like Tourette syndrome. Today, he finds it difficult to talk to severely autistic people at school because it "brings back too many bad memories."
    As you can see, many autistic people suffer more than everyone else in their daily lives. Their obliviousness may just be because they have too much going on internally, or because of sensory overload, or something else entirely. Therefore, you should never judge an autistic person.

      Eyes spaced wide apart is a facial feature of down syndrome not autism. You can identify an autistic child by their behaviors not how they look physically.

      “Eyes set wide apart?” Its not a physical disability, nobody is born with physical characteristics of autism like that

      @thatonemessyartist1760 4 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      I don't think I got this across but, down syndrome shouldn't be stereotyped like that either. Maybe you should research a bit more about these disabilities, I'm not trying to seem rude here, but I think it's important that people know more. I'm autistic, but I'm here writing, and I have the same intelligence as everyone else, I just have a different way of seeing and reacting to the world.

      Stimming helps the brain and not all autistic people avoid eye contact and eyes set wide apart? Just a rude steriotype
