A Group Of Complex Brain Development Disorders

The first three years of a child’s life is the most important and central time for the brain’s development. Autism is a disorder that can be diagnosed during the infant or toddler stage. Children can be diagnosed with autism by having different impairments such as social interaction, pattern of behavior, eye contact and speech impairment. Having the child being diagnosed with ASD can change a parent’s life view. Parents can learn different things in order to help their child. Parents will be provided by health providers different treatment, different placement in education and knowing about the different risk factor to make a difference for their autistic child now and in the future.

There is little research to examine experiences and needs of individuals with ASD, or proper and effective support systems such as educational and family support needed for young adults making this transition. Most information that is provided on this topic is based on professional’s experience and knowledge. It is essential more research is provided to develop programs to help individuals transition from secondary education to higher

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences. For grown-ups, an autism diagnosis may get alleviation terms of a clarification for their long lasting battles, for parents, the principal months in the wake of discovering that their youngster has a formative issue can be enthusiastic, confounding and testing. A kid 's autism diagnosis influences each individual from the family in various ways.

Specifically, how the parents are affected with this change as well. My mother worked with a child with autism for the first years of elementary school up until the child’s freshman year of high school. I had the opportunity to experience one on one interaction with the student, which led me to curiosity as to how the individual’s disorder has transformed over time. After speaking with her parents on how difficult it is to cope with the child’s diagnosis, I am eager to research more on this topic. I am excited to share the new information that I discover with the student’s family and eventually find unique information that will help me with my future career.

This hardships and struggles were focused on their child’s tantrums that are present in the condition ASD and how they cope up with it. Participants also described having to make lifestyle transitions in their life. One lifestyle transitions affected their careers for them to focus more in taking care of their child. Family activities and relationships with their non-affected children was also affected being involved in a child with autism. It was shown in the study how autism spectrum disorder give an impact in the primary caregivers’ life and his/her family. The findings suggest that professionals need to engage more with families when conveying a diagnosis of autism, particularly with families that is financially unstable. Thus, the findings suggest that there is a need to inform the future families who may experience the involved responsibilities of having an autistic child.This study gave several recommendations to three particular subjects the Families /Primary Caregivers, Government and the Community. All these subjects are selected for the enlightenment of this topic which is autism spectrum disorder(ASD). The findings from this study therefore provide hope and encouragement for parents of children with autism in particular, but also for parents raising children with intellectual disabilities

When people hear Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) they think right away about the child. Does anyone think about the parents of these children and the journey they are about to embark on? Did you? My research will focus on the families of these children and how they are affected by raising an ASD child. How does the stress impact a mother and father, physically, emotionally and mentally? Raising a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder is one of the most difficult challenges a family can face. Do these parents have any hope that society can support them, and their ASD child effectively?

In contrast to help received as an ASD child, services and overall well-being as an ASD adult are lacking. In the article “Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorders,” the authors describe that there is limited support and interventions for individuals with Autism who are over the age of 18 (Howlin and Moss, 2011, p.275). Howlin and Moss state, “The findings indicate that, as adults, many people with ASD, including those of normal IQ, are significantly disadvantaged regarding employment, social relationships, physical and mental health, and quality of life” (2011, p. 275). What makes the situation worse is there is little research being conducted to aid Autistic adults, especially ones over the age of 30 (Howling and Moss, 2011, p. 275). It is

Developmental disorders tend to emerge from impairments of executive function in the brain. This means that an individual’s working memory, impulse control, inhibition, planning, or attention is be lacking in some way (1). The three main developmental disorders I will be focusing on in this paper include Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, and Autism Spectrum Disorder, as these are three of the most common developmental disorders in the United States of America.

Neurodevelopmental disorders include the following main categories: intellectual disabilities, communication disorders, autism spectrum disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, specific learning disorder, motor disorders, and other neurodevelopmental disorders. Neurodevelopmental disorders typically present in the early developmental period, but may continue into adulthood or may not be diagnosed at onset (American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013). A breakdown of these disorders provides necessary details that create distinctions within groups as listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fifth edition; DSM-5; APA, 2013).

A childhood disorder most common in the field of mental health, autism or autism or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is a complex neurodevelopment disorder defined by abnormalities and lack of social communication and unusual behaviors. ASD involves most of the part of the brain and affects humans ' ability to communicate and interact with others. ASD begins at an early age. The more common symptoms include difficulty with communication, difficulty with social interactions, obsessive interest, and abnormal behaviors. Recognizing these symptoms at a very young age is critical. The early the recognition better results, recognition of the symptoms along with the help of behavioral, educational and family therapies help may reduce the

Firstly, in conclusion, the central theme is explored based principally on two areas of enquiry including, the National Autism Indicators Report additionally, the journal titled American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. It is explained in these three texts that adolescent adults on the autism spectrum face challenges when it comes to the period of change from high school to a self-governing adult life. Furthermore, according to Dr. Paul T. Shattuck, “Roughly 50,000 youth with autism will turn 18 years old this year” Additionally, Shattuck pointed out “So many of these young people have the potential to work and participate in their communities. Supporting this potential will benefit everyone – the person with autism, the family, employers and society.” I read these quotes in the article titled Young Adults On the Autism Spectrum Face Tough Prospects for Jobs and Independent Living by Ewing. Another essential point is that in a journal titled American

Researchers note that individuals with autism have the ability to variate in the types of behaviors or abilities they can or cannot perform. Since this is a spectrum disorder, the spectrum varies in the weaknesses and strengths each individual may have. Although they differ the lives of the individuals are much more difficult than a typical individuals’ life. Researchers note that behavioral, emotional and physical issues can be seen in ASD. This can

In this study, parents of ASD children were asked to write an open-ended answer via an online questionnaire to the question, ‘‘How has your child in the autism spectrum affected your life and your family’s life?’’ (Myers, Mackintosh & Goin-Kochel, 2008).

I’ve had a personal encounter with a child who has autism. It was hard to socialize with him because he avoided making eye contact with me and he wanted to spend time alone. Since that day, autism has become very intriguing for me & now I can study a topic that interests me. Through this study, I’ve learned how grateful I am for the life I have and although I go through challenges every day, others have it much worse. I’ve also learned that the tiniest problems in the brain can affect your whole personality & the way you interact with others.

The prognosis section of this paper focuses on information regarding childhood outcomes related to behaviors and speech and briefly discusses adult outcomes. There is a lack of research on the prognosis of children with ASD in to adulthood. Due to the rise in prevalence of ASD and
