What Is Autism
"Autism" - Not a Red flag but Infinite Possibilities
As a parent, your whole world revolves around your child. If you notice your child is developmentally delaying, then that might be a good reason to know more about Autism and to seek interventions for the same. Autism is never a Red flag for your child or to you.
Autism is observed to be the third most common developmental-delayed spectrum in the world. Autism is a neurological developmental lag that becomes apparent in the early stage of a child's development and growth. Autism is often known as a spectrum disorder because it does not appear to have a unique set of characteristics and symptoms.
The Symptoms shown in your child may be different when compared to another child. Your child will unveil a positive change if both physical and emotional support has given with right interventions without any delays.
The Art of autism
Just like any other children, they also respond well to positive feedback. When you appreciate them for their responses and behaviors, it will carry a positive change in your child and also for yourself. They may often find it challenging to understand other people's talks and thought processes. It reflects a delay while expressing their feelings and emotions through words and body gestures.
Children with Autism have proved to possess meticulous traits and unveiled their strength in significant areas. They are bestowed with exceptional talents in the field of arts, math’s, music, and memory skills. They outdo most of the children when it comes to solving the puzzles and hold a keen sense of appreciation for unique skills.
You can appreciate your child when they excel in their drawn areas and find ways to reward them. An extra playtime or tiny gifts as rewards will encourage them to respond and repeat good actions. The Developmental differences in their specific interests and likings can vividly be noticed between 18 and 36 months of age. They show subtle interest and respond to things that fascinate them during this developmental phase.
Developing an autistic culture to accept and accommodate the difference would help to bring a notable change in the improvement and growth of your child. You may often restrain public exposure for your child when they show uncertain behavior patterns. But surprisingly, you notice a change when you take them outdoor on everyday errands to buy groceries or visit a park that makes them adapt to their outdoor surroundings. Interventions of Autism are highly encouraged and beneficial for autistic children. A positive change is seen in children when they get proper treatment at the right time. Accepting and treating Autism instead of merely seeking a complete cure is the right way to approach it.
