Over the years, more people are becoming aware of Autism Spectrum Disorder, ASD. The growing number of individuals who are affected by ASD have been increasing over the years. This could be do to the new DSM development of what is considered ASD or simply more children are being born with ASD. Either way, ASD is more predominate in our society today. ASD is defined in the DSM 5 as having abnormal social aspects, lack of social skills, non-verbal communications skills, deficits in development, lack of understanding of relationships, and self-stimulation through repetitive behaviors (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Although these are not all of the symptoms caused by ASD

Children with autism spectrum disorders life can be challenging. In the article “Practice Pathway Address Problems Behaviors for Children with ASD” (Haelle, Tara 2016). Practice Pathway “is to describe the expected practice in relation to children whose needs may fall within the autism spectrum disorder” (www.leics.gov.uk). It’s a program put in place for children with ASD. A treatment not a cure, but the right treatment for their problems. Two main issues for children with ASD is irritability and behavior.

ASD is a pervasive developmental disorder that consists of abnormal development and functioning of the brain. ASD may involve deficits in social behaviors, abnormalities in communication, cognitive delays, and repetitive behaviors (UC San Diego Autism Center of Excellence, 2016).

However, one of these sources is directed more towards readers with Asperger’s syndrome. The other two pieces are more directed towards parents of children affected by autism. In Robison’s memoir, he strives to teach those with Asperger’s how to make their way through the maze called everyday life. “I hope readers- especially those who are struggling to grow up or live with Asperger’s- will see that the twists and turns and unconventional choices I made led to a pretty good life, and will learn from my story,” (Robison 5). Throughout his story, he speaks through the pages and connects with his readers. In contrast, Cukavac’s article reaches out to parents and reassures them with the positives symptoms of autism. The author informs readers about advanced skills that people with Asperger’s develop in science, music, and art. Similarly, the medical encyclopedia has information regarding Asperger’s that is aimed mainly at parents. The article explains behavior difficulties in children with Asperger’s and programs that are available. It educates parents with the correct information to make the best decision for their

The ability for families to remain strong and thrive during difficult, emotional experiences in raising a child with ASD is new to ASD literature (Whitehead, et al. 2015). Families show individual coping responses such as avoidance, disengagement, self-blame, denial, and emotional venting (Whitehead, et al. 2015). In comparison, action oriented strategies include planning, acceptance, and positive transformations (Whitehead, et al. 2015). The combination of behavior and emotional problems exhibited by children with ASD are major contributors to family and caregiver stress (Whitehead, et al.

Several studies have been conducted which focuses the needs for a young child with ASD. The article by Brown et al. (2012) aims to discover the areas where there is an unmet need for information, services, and resources among the families of the school-aged child with ASD. The researchers use a cross-sectional survey to conduct the study among 101 Canadian families who have a school-aged child with ASD. The “Family Needs Questioner” (Siklos & Kerns, 2006, as cited in Brown et. al, 2012, p. 499) is used to complete the survey, and more questions are added by the researcher to further gather information about the family and their child with ASD (Brown et. al, 2012). The questionnaire has identified

Nancy Cheak-Zamora is a researcher at the Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders. Cheak-Zamora states that the challenges faced by youth with ASDs as they transition to adulthood were apparent, however, the majority of the research available has focused on the perspectives of their caretakers or parents. The lack of research outlining the perspectives of individuals with autism is due to their limited participation in research. Furthermore, the fears and communication difficulties many individuals with ASDs face also contribute to the inability to gather information for study.

Seeing the two children with Asperger’s really gave me insight into how they live. Through the interviews I got to see how they act, how they speak and I learned about their likes and dislikes. The children seem to be obsessed with things and then really hate other things. Like if they like something they really like it and if they dislike something, they really dislike it. I view the obsession as passion. The young boy seemed really passionate about selling things and making money while the girl seemed passionate about the Japanese things that she mentioned in her interview. At the beginning of the video the narrator introduced the disorder and some of the symptoms. From seeing the children, you were able to identify their symptoms really

For many adults diagnosed with ASD, taking the risk of leaving the security of a parent’s or relative’s home is driven by the desire for independence and involvement in community life.

Most interviewees expressed they desired a community that:
