Summary of the documentary on how these individuals are affected by how they live with ADS and the challenged on how to live in a “normal societies”. Throughout the film, most of the adults were just figuring out that there’s is something wrong with them, as the other individuals diagnosed as young age. The documentary mention about treatments like medicine, they discussed on how they live with this for many years, or how they acted from friends and family. These individuals on how they think or try to speak are unbelievable because people try to write them off as stupid and they not average humans.
Neurotypical, which is a film on ASD, shows the signs of the dysfunction and the insights on how these individuals live in their daily

How people are changing these individuals lives because they are not thinking the same as regular people. Some of these individuals did not put on any medication to calm themselves down. The families and the individuals have a hard time to deal with ASD. However, they deal with it in the best way they can.
Reaction to the film based on how these individual were adults and how they defined ASD, one married her husband had said his wife, and her mother have it and they deal with it fine like anyone else would, he also had mentioned DSM-5 and how to be on the other side of the spectrum. These individuals seem to live an ordinary life, people cannot even tell that these families have challenges or anything that comes to light.
Viewing this documentary, opinions of this individual with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) did, in fact, change the opinion of who they are. ASD can start from when they were born to a mature adult. This film presented lessons on how families and the individuals have gone through a daily lifestyle. One lesson that shown in the movie is that they understand going on however it may take the time to process through their brains.
My late cousin on my father’s side, he has a son who is Autistic. I know little about his son due to family conflict. However, when I saw my cousin, he would explain how his son is doing and that he is in a special school for students like him to get the help by individuals. However, I have not seen my cousin son since, my
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. This study defined the behavior, assessed it, treated it and sees how effective treatment is.
The film I decided to watch was, A Mile in His Shoes which was directed by William Dear and screen wrote by Frank Nappi and Jason Koornick (2011). This movie was very inspiring as an adult with Asperger’s syndrome is the main character. Asperger’s syndrome is a type of autism that is more of a social disorder (Gargiulo, R. M. & Bouck, E, 2018). These individuals have trouble in social situations whether that is making friends or just talking one on one with a family member. There are many characteristics that describe an individual as having Asperger’s syndrome. Most of these characteristics were displayed throughout the film through the character Mickey Tussler. In this paper, I will discuss the signs and symptoms of Asperger’s syndrome through the eyes of Mickey, a professional minor league baseball player as well as how he was treated by his parents, coach and teammates. I will lastly reflect on how I felt about A Mile in His Shoes regarding their portrayal of Asperger’s syndrome.
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
Specific data in regards to the individual’s social development and behaviour is collected. Inquiries about core ASD symptoms including, unusual, or repetitive behaviours and social relatedness are done, the family’s input is important.
The video outlines the DSM-5 characteristics of Asperger’s, as experienced by Rosie, and classic Autism, as experienced by Lenny. It also describes Kabuki syndrome through a description of Daisy’s physical and intellectual characteristics. The video also highlights the difference in severity amongst two different Autism Spectrum disorders through their portrayal of Rosie who is high-functioning with Asperger’s and Lenny who is lower functioning with classic Autism. Finally, Through my Eyes-Rosie’s Story is an illustration of how a family can demonstrate the concept of treating the child and not just the
A man with rustled auburn hair yanks open the door of the coffee shop. He gazes at his glossy black shoes as he steps in line. People watch as he shifts his weight from foot to foot, not able to stand still. Once he reaches the counter, he orders an extra-large coffee with whip cream and six creamers. The sassy girl behind the counter wears a baffled look, but he is completely oblivious. Failing to look the cashier in the eye, he takes his order and carefully carries the colossal caffeinated drink out the door. A typical day for someone with Asperger’s usually comes with its difficulties. Social interactions may be challenging and behaving “normal” is next to impossible. The eye opening memoir Look Me in Eye written by John Elder Robison,
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. In 2011, the Autistic Self Advancement Network (ASAN), Self-Advocates Becoming Empowered (SABE), and the National Youth Leadership conducted 72 one-on-one interviews to ask persons diagnosed with ASD what they sought in a community. Most interviewees expressed they desired a community that:
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
By helping other professionals and families to adapt and evolve their understanding of ASD, you help the nation’s understanding of mental conditions grow and boost the prospects of more research in this field. Inspire the people around you for positive change.
Not everything that I’ve discovered about ASD is for all children. Because each child is his or her own person, every child is different and every child is special in his or her own way. There’s a saying, “If you see one child with ASD, then you’ve seen only one child with ASD. Meaning, every ASD child is different from that of any other child with ASD even with different situations. So everything explained here are just the basics should help you assess your approach.
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). ASD is a broad spectrum neurological disorder with a variety of symptoms affecting each individual differently (Debbaudt & Rothman, 2001). ASD involves severe impairments of reciprocal social interactions, impaired
ASD is not something people can tell just by taking a look. People with autism behave, interact, communicate and learn through other ways an average person would. The learning, thinking, and problem solving abilities for people with autism
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.
“Life isn’t easy,” is a simple motto that people still have difficulty comprehending. As a kid, my life was sheltered. The biggest worry I had to face was when my next spelling test would be. Although, my brother did not have the opportunity to live life with ease. When he was diagnosed at a young age with Asperger’s Syndrome, my sheltered existence ended. Adjusting to the idea that he experiences life from a completely different perspective was a concept I found difficult to understand.
ASD is a general term for a group of complex disorders of brain development. ASD includes Asperger’s syndrome and pervasive developmental disorder. The pervasive disorder is known as atypical autism. ASD includes wide ranges of symptoms, skills and also levels of the disability. ASD can not be cured there is an unknown reason why people get diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This Disorder is chronic and will last the lifetime of the diagnosed patient. “One in sixty-eight children has been identified with some form of Autism Spectrum Disorder.” ASD behaviors should be first noticed in infants and toddlers. There are two main behaviors with this disorder. The first category behavior is restricted and repetitive behaviors. An example of this is repeating. ASD children are very auditory learners, so what they hear they are going to repeat. The next example of restricted and repetitive behaviors is unusual behaviors and being overly focused. By this they like to be very hands on by moving objects and using their sensory skills. Intense interest in numbers, details or facts also goes under restricted and repetitive behaviors. “CDC reports that 46% of ASD children have above average intelligence.” They excel in Math, Science, Music and Art. The other type of behavior ASD have are the social communication and interaction behaviors. One of the symptoms of this is getting upset by slight change in routine. Example of this behavior is a person with this could like wearing the
