Raising a Child with Autism There is no doubt that raising a child with autism is challenging. There is endless research on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) but a very limited amount on the costs and benefits of caring for a person with the disorder. In order to gain a comprehensive perspective on the biggest challenges parents and caregivers of autistic children face, a look into the private lives of these families and close networks is necessary.

Officers who can successfully identify individuals with ASD are more likely to be able to use what they know to choose an appropriate approach when confronting these individuals. Benefits of this may include better officer safety and less injuries and fatalities for disabled individuals. With this in mind, it is incredibly troubling to consider that approximately 80% of police officers in a survey found it difficult to identify the distinguishing features of ASD (Modell & Mak, 2008). Therefore, it would seem paramount that there be a promotion of police trainings that focus on improving officers’ knowledge of diagnosis and characteristics of ASD as well as their ability to recognize these characteristics in individuals they encounter.

When it comes to the Autism/Asperger spectrum it is an interesting disorder to learn and understand. As I had the opportunity to work with all range of children that have been diagnosed with Autism/Asperger, it is the students that have been recently diagnosed with Autism/Asperger that is interesting to learn about.
