Autism And Adults

Por Fatima de Kwant Holland, March 25, 2017 Autism And Adults – Autism is a developmental syndrome that affects language and communication, (shared) social interaction, where someone may show obsessive or repetitive behavior. Until recently infantile autism had been quite known,  while autism in adults was still relatively unknown by many. However, the hypothesis of autism may appear when someone has already reached adulthood. The reason might be that lately the disorder has been better recognized in adults with normal intelligence, or even above average. Continue→

AUTISM THERAPIES – which one is “the one”?

AUTISM THERAPIES – which one is “the one”?

Autism therapies attempt to lessen the deficits and abnormal behaviours associated with autism and other autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and to increase the quality of life and functional independence of autistic individuals, especially children. Treatment is typically tailored to the child’s needs. Treatments fall into two major categories: educational interventions and medical management. But, before choosing a therapy to help your child… …Read! Read! Read!…Get informed. Go search for all the available interventions on the internet. Educate yourself. Research. Before opting for one (or more) therapies, ask yourself: if it is SAFE Continue→

AUTISTIC NATURE – Why People With Autism Should Be Proud Of Who They Are

AUTISTIC NATURE – Why People With Autism Should Be Proud Of Who They Are

Autism Awareness is very important. Not only to the rest of the world, but first of all to people with autism themselves. Unfortunately, some boys and girls with autism are doing their best to disguise it. Why should someone hide he or she has autism? Is it because the world is too harsh on people with the syndrome?…Is this because he or she is ashamed of being different?… Is it fear for rejection? It probably is one of the three. It is their right, of Continue→

MASKS

No wonder we often hear people say: ” But you don’t seem autistic to me…” People with Autism, especially Aspergers, have learned from their childhood on to mask anything that keeps them from looking normal to others. It starts in the childhood, when their parents desperately ask them over and over to ‘behave’ normally. This causes an enormous amount of stress to people with Autism – children, youngsters and adults. Not only they are trying to do their best, but they feel their best is Continue→

LOOKING BEYOND AUTISM – Seeing The Half-Full Glass

LOOKING BEYOND AUTISM – Seeing The Half-Full Glass

One of the most curious situations are those in which, after telling my son has autism, I hear people say “Oh what a pity …” or “Gee, that’s too bad.”, always followed by a facial expression of empathy and solidarity, which is very nice … but not necessary. Really. Autism so enriched my life and consequently, of all ‘ around me, I think everyone should know. The load that the word ‘ Autism ‘ contains ‘ and such, that almost all assume that autism is Continue→

EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION OF CHILDREN WITH ASS

EDUCATIONAL INCLUSION OF CHILDREN WITH ASS

As always, the choice should be made after placing the child first: – Will this school add necessary assets to my child’s overall development? – What do the teachers know about my child’s peculiarities and will they consider changing protocol to attend those peculiarities? – Will school staff be able to set up a personal plan to my child, adapting its curriculum to my child’s possibilities/limitations yet keeping motivating him to accompany the group? – How does school handle bullying? What’s the tolerance level to Continue→

AUTISM – a mother’s story

  Holland, July 7th, 2017 by Fatima de Kwant  Once upon a time, there was a happy family; my family. Loving parents and two sweet little girls. Then, in 1996, a third child came to our lives, our long waited for son. We felt totally complete. How couldn’t we? Life was good and kind. My husband and I had been given the greatest gift of all – three healthy children. It’s funny how new parents use to announce the birth of their baby: “a healthy Continue→

AN AUTISM PARENT- What does it say about you?

AN AUTISM PARENT- What does it say about you?

Deep inside we all want to be special. Human beings have the urge to think they are extraordinary. It is a thought the ego needs to keep one’s mind satisfied with the lives one leads. Whether it is to cope with competition or just to find some meaning in their lives, people often convince themselves they are good, they are worthy; they are special. But often it is not enough to feel special; others must think one of as exceptional. In order to do so, Continue→
