Advantages And Disadvantages Of Autism

Disability has been a difficult topic of society for years. Many people find discomfort in the presence of the disabled and many feel pity for those who are disabled. Back in the 1800s, the disabled were perceived as unable to contribute to society, often forced to undergo sterilization, and forced into institutions and asylums (“A Brief History”). In fact, this treatment of the disabled and mentally ill has been persistent until somewhat recently, when the Civil Rights movement took place, and those with disabilities decided to take a stand for their rights. Although people with disabilities continue to face difficulties in finding jobs, legitimizing their opinion, having the right to vote, and choosing whether or not they receive or refuse

If we protect children from harm they are more likely to grow up into confident members of society. Children with a disability are three times more likely to experience abuse and neglect and it’s up to us as practitioners to recognise the signs and symptoms to protect all children.

In this essay, I will be talking about the injustices faced by disabled or impaired people. Martin Luther King always supported equal justice for all, and some people aren’t getting it. There are more than 1 billion people who are considered disabled, and many don’t get the treatment that they need or deserve. I think it is unjust that most movements to support disabled people’s rights didn’t begin until the 1950s and 60s, and the first laws regulating treatment of disabled people in the UK weren’t passed until 1995. There are many problems facing disabled people, such as inadequate facilities, lack of acceptance in their communities, and lack of access to general needs.

To understand the issue of inclusive practice for children and young people, it is helpful to understand the medical and social model of disability. The social model of disability says that disability is caused by the way society is organised, rather

This essay highlights and discusses models of disability reflected in two separate articles (Appendices A and B). I will identify the models of disability they represent. Both have been recently featured in the Guardian newspaper and are stories on disabled people.

Autism Spectrum Disorder has a wide variety of treatment choices. There is not a single treatment that will cure ASD, but there are many therapies that can be used to help the symptoms of ASD. Above are multiple different therapies that experts have conducted research on. Interviews of educators in the field of special education and surveys answered by the general public were conducted to gather information regarding ASD knowledge and therapies. Educators informed about even more therapies that are used within schools. It became apparent that many therapies are used for children with ASD, and this is because autism is a spectrum disorder. The word "spectrum" often measures as something that ranges. ASD ranges for

Throughout history, disabled people have been profoundly discriminated against. Our society today has become more accepting of people for who they are, but there are still many challenges in this area. In his short story “The Scarlet Ibis,” Hurst works to raise awareness and sensitivity towards children and other people with disabilities by demonstrating how disabled children were generally treated in this time period, by illuminating how the narrator eventually makes connections with his special needs brother, Doodle, and by painting a vivid picture of how the unattainable expectations placed upon Doodle became too much for him to bear.

According to an article published in Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art therapy Association, “…art therapy strengthened personal, spiritual and social development” (pg. 72, Kapitan, Litell, Torres, 2011). Additionally, it could also help children reduce “acute stress symptom” (pg. 103, Chapman, Morabito, Ladakakos, Schreier, Knudson, 2001). This type of therapy can be used to build child’s self-esteem by encouraging them to express themselves openly through art.

Over time, the view of best practice for educating and caring for people with disability has changed to one of inclusion in all aspects of life in society. In Australia, there was some resistance initially, fear and misunderstanding guided the decision making processes which meant those with disability were kept apart longer than in some other countries (Heward, 2009). Gradually, legislative changes, influenced by medical knowledge and researched based practice meant that people were no longer allowed to be separated by social barriers and were granted legal rights to guard against all forms of discrimination (Dempsey, 2008). In 2014, the expectation is that people with disability are included in all aspects of education with the same

On the positive side, select crippled did escape life in institutions, and they lived in normal communities; however, the quality of life at home did vary. One one hand, an extremely poor disabled person could end up on the streets as a beggar or in a freak show (Hix). Freak shows were the ultimate form of degradation; they were shows where a person’s disabilities were mocked for entertainment. One the other hand, several opportunities for an education and jobs were appearing in addition to social clubs specifically for the crippled. These clubs, known as Ugly Clubs, were simply places for the disabled to conjugate and be proud of their disabilities among their disabled friends (Victorian Era Workhouses). Perhaps the most notable self-help

Historically, people with disabilities were seen as being unable to contribute to society and therefore were viewed as being dependent on others for care. The dependency that was created resulted in persons with disabilities being seen as unhealthy and defective (Neuhaus et al, 2014). In effort to care for people with disabilities, agencies such as Anixter have confined people with disabilities to buildings and kept them from becoming participating citizens in their natural communities.

What do you think of when you hear the word “disability”? Do you think of individuals who need extra resources? Or do you think of individuals who are limited by society? The topic of people with disabilities is often controversially. Some individuals take the firm stance that labeling a person as “disabled” can be helpful as it ensures that individual that they will get the extra resources they need to have the best quality of life. On the other hand, people take the stance that the term “disability” should be eliminated because it leads to social stigma and individual who do suffer from health, whether it is physical or mental, complications are often given less opportunities because they have been labeled as “disabled.” Especially because some individuals are targeted as being “sick” when they are healthy, which

The importance of education for all children, especially for those with disability and with limited social and economic opportunities, is indisputable. Indeed, the special education system allowed children with disability increased access to public education. Apart from that, the special education system has provided for them an effective framework for their education, and for the institutions involved to identify children with disability sooner. In turn, this promotes greater inclusion of children with disability alongside their nondisabled peers. In spite of these advances however, many obstacles remain, including delays in providing services for children with disability, as well as regulatory and

Approximately 15% of the world’s population is, in a way, disabled. Whether it is a physical disability or a serious chronic disease, we have about one billion people in the world that live with a disability every day of their lives. It often occurs that these people are seen as an outcast of society; people that cannot live normal lives. It is important to realize that this is not true at all. People with disabilities are completely able to be part of the world. It is just the world’s duty to accept them.

Children with intellectual disabilities go to school without knowledge of using the rest room on their own. We teach them for a long time until they know. They are discriminated at home as incapable of anything from childhood. They lock them in without any hope of contributing in the family. If a child with disability is a girl, no hope that she will be married and bring money or dowry at home. If parents had power for death arrangements, children with disabilities would be voted to die first before the rest of the family. Living with children with disabilities requires a strong heart[…]. No one wants to take care of a child with disabilities […]. Even when we teach children them, our fellow teachers ask us, why do you like to work with children with disabilities? Do you receive extra allowance for teaching them? They tell us: “I cannot afford to deal with them. Staying with them, I will be spitting all time, and I would not be able to eat.” I consider these children as the poorest of the poor compared to children coming from rural areas.
