High Functioning Autism - Understanding It
We have heard the label" high functioning autism"- - it basically means that the disorders are present at a higher level. And the symptoms of that disorder and co-morbids are amplified compared to the same disorder / co-morbids at the lower end - since they are spectrum disorders.
A lot of us dont know much about it, what is it exactly or its symptoms and traits and crucially how to handle it or deal with it in daily life.
There is more to it than meets the eye.
It completely affects the individual life in the following: aspects:
- Education
- Behaviour
- Employment
- Emotions
- Relationship
- Mental health
- Meltdowns
All we have seen and heard is the" behavioural" aspect of it especially challenging behaviour which is only one aspect of it. Without knowing or understanding some of the other aspects that coexist with it. Nor the
Co-morbidity of other disorders present at the same time.
N. B. Granted -some have a better understanding of it than others -
- This article gives a simple overview for everyone involved. The individual him / her self, the parent, carer, guardian and educator. To start to understand exactly what" high functioning" is, all about -.
- The additional article links within the article are also worth a read.
