Autistic Kids
As future teachers it is our duty to be informed of the possibility of one of us or all of us having an Autistic kid in our class. The signs of these childen give off may be that they are very figity, they do not like to be touched , it is hard for them to communicate, and they are most of the time mentally retarted. In some cases though it has been proven that Autistic children can be talented in systematic enviroments. They tend to not like change so this is good for them if they are placed in an area that operates in an routine manner.Most dont speak or walk until 5 yrs old. Some very rare cases Austitic kids can be sevants. Which means they are very brilliant in one specific area. Some of those areas may include, great memory with numbers, photographic memories that can be put into art, and musical talents that are un heard of. I hope by reading this you learned someting you didnt know about Autistic kids.

These days, most pediatricians run a quick diagnostic on all children when they are about 2 years old, to check for language delays and other signs of an ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Children who have HFA (High Functioning Autism) like Asperger's Syndrome often are very talented academically but not as advanced in fine motor skills or social interactions. Good teachers, specially trained to deal with autistic learners, can be hard to find!
ReplyDeleteThey were trying to say the same thing about my daughter but it turns out that she developed at HER own time and not when someone dictated when she SHOULD have certain abilities. Today, she is a good student and learns really fast although she gets in trouble like the average kids, she still haS ALOT OF LEARNING TO DO.
