I Am Autistic-What Can I Tell My New Teacher About Myself?

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:00:33 -0400

Today, I went to school. It was my first day at a new school, a new neighborhood, new faces, and new learning challenges, that are not familiar to me. I want to tell my new teacher about myself because I am autistic. How can I explain how I feel? My new teacher introduces herself, but I am scared, nervous, I feel uncomfortable and I am overwhelmed with all of the confusion that is present in the classroom, on my first day. Will my teacher understand what I am feeling, because I am autistic? There is so much I want her to know about me. In addition, I feel anxiety, uncomfortable as though I would not fit in with the rest of the classmates. Yes, I must admit, I am feeling scared, I feel I will be judged. As an autistic child, my thoughts are, my new teacher does not know my skills. I feel I should tell my teacher what my skills are. Many people do not know or want to know about me, because they feel or see me as being odd. **End Summary** Topics: teacher realizes]]> teacher understand]]> teacher introduces]]> learning challenges]]> feel anxiety]]> feel stressful]]> new teacher]]> new school and classmates]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com Take action and SIGN up to RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER on Autistic TOPICS.

Are New Faces a Struggle For Autistic Children?

Wed, 17 Aug 2011 15:52:12 -0400

Socialization skills are a challenge for autistic children. In addition, what about recognizing new faces? Are autistic children considered to be shy if they do not recognize a face, or do they find it a struggle to know who the faces are? If this is true, why? Learning from my years of experiencing various autistic children with their levels of developmental functions, have indicated to me, autistic children seem less likely to feel comfortable around unfamiliar faces. My brother, was a perfect example of this kind of behavior, who was autistic. Individuals, whether they are adults or children who do not have autism, memorize faces and features without realizing it. An average face is what we think and feel and it tends to make a picture in our mind of what people look like. What about new faces, that are not familiar to autistic people? These faces could be a struggle for them, because they are not able to identify the variations of the unique features new faces have. For example: The different shapes of faces, hair color, skin color, hair that has a perm, faces may be round, oval, long and thin, or round and fat. **End Summary** Topics: various autistic children]]> autistic children seem]]> feel comfortable]]> unfamiliar faces]]> memorize faces that are new]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com is where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER about many Autistic TOPICS.

Are You Doubting Your Autistic Child Can Hear, Understand, and Communicate With You?

Tue, 21 Jun 2011 11:47:10 -0400

I found myself shouting at my brother who is autistic, because I had my doubts he could not hear, understand, or communicate with me, when I was speaking to him. Have ever felt you were not being heard, understood, and communication was not present with your autistic child, while you were speaking to him or her? I remember I could be no less than two feet away from my brother when talking to him. Being that close to him, he was ignoring what I was saying and not giving me a response. I became frustrated. I was curious why I was not being heard or understood when I spoke to my brother, who has autism. I decided to do research on this subject and I was informed, some children with the disorder of autism might be behaving in a way that you feel they have not heard you, but in reality they did receive your message, and the conversation that was given. I have experienced, when you think you are not being heard or understood, when speaking to an autistic person, he or she may have a different way of communicating. **End Summary** Topics: autistic person]]> child attend]]> child repeat back]]> two feet]]> child repeat]]> autistic child]]> attend speech classes]]> language classes]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER about many Autistic TOPICS.

Do You Have an Inkling or Suspicion Your Child Has Autism?

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 05:38:26 -0400

The powerful question is, do you have an inkling or suspicion your child has autism? If you are thinking or feeling suspicious your child could have autism, do as much research as you can to learn about the disorder of autism and gain knowledge. I find one way to keep current with the behavior of your child, is to keep a notebook, journal, notepad, available. You can write down data regarding your child. For example: Keep track of the dates, time, and possible behavior pattern changes and symptoms that occur in your child. In your notebook, journal, notepad, write down the suspicions or inkling you have gathered from the research you did about the disorder of autism. Some of the points of interest that could be a concern are: * What kind of weather was present? * Were bright lights or flickering lights active? * Loud noises. * Were new people in the surroundings that were not familiar to your child? * Did confusion cause stress? * Did new places that were visited and not familiar to your child, cause anxiety? **End Summary** Topics: inklingofautism]]> suspicionautismpresent]]> child bang]]> accurate information]]> powerful question]]> write down]]> gain knowledge]]> updated information]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER about many Autistic TOPICS.

Could Early Signs Of Autism Be An Indicator Of Playing With Unusual Toys?

Mon, 30 May 2011 15:53:31 -0400

What are unusual toys? I believe unusual toys are toys that are abnormal, unconventional or anything out-of-the-ordinary. These are toys your child is willing to use and play with as he or she chooses, because they think it is a toy. But is it a toy? Is it an indicator of signs of autism? I remember when my brother was an infant, pre-school age, he was interested in playing and exploring with unusual toys and objects. Some of them were considered to be dangerous and not wise for his use. My parents, and our neighbors thought this was out-of-the-ordinary, compared to other children his age. As my brother developed, probably around his first birthday or later, our family noticed he would rock back and forth , stare into space, do repetitious spins, pace back and forth. He would look out of the corner of his eyes and not have direct eye contact with people. No interaction with baby rattles or toys. I am now older, I look back on the history of my brother, who was not interested in playing with objects or toys compared to what other children felt they were comfortable with. **End Summary** Topics: unusual toys]]> early signs]]> believe unusual toys]]> towards unusual toys]]> believe unusual]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER about many Autistic TOPICS.

If you have a member in your family who is autistic, it can affect your relationships within the family. How do you maintain a healthy relationship with a married couple and other family members when autism is present? I have seen many family dynamics destroyed, because of a the high maintenance and needs of an individual who has autism in the family. You as parent(s), caregiver(s), must take into consideration the value of your well-being and how to keep the family relationships healthy. The first step I would recommend to strengthen and keep your relationships strong is to: * Take time for one another. * Set one night per week for you to be together. * Be creative, call it your "special date night, or "vacation night". * Plan a picnic, go for a walk, a movie, take a small trip to the museum, zoo, or anything that appeals to you, that will allow you to be together for a few hours. * The time you spend with each other will enrich your relationships, to keep them strong. **End Summary** Topics: family relationships]]> take time]]> few hours]]> family relationships healthy]]> relationships strong]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com is where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER about many Autistic TOPICS.

Does Your Autistic Child Have Defiant Behavior?

Wed, 18 May 2011 21:03:05 -0400

There are many days I am sure you have had frustration, especially if you try to manage an autistic person, with a defiant behavior. I did not know what that term defiant behavior meant? I thought it was a child or person who was out of control and was not listening to instructions. I decided to take charge and learn what was meant by defiant behavior in an autistic person? I was shocked to learn the term meant "open resistance to authority." The meaning was defined in Webster's New World Dictionary. There are many complex challenges that are faced with an autistic child who has a behavior of defiance. You may be challenged by an individual who has autism with this kind of behavior. **End Summary** Topics: defiant behavior]]> defiant behavior meant]]> defiant behavior seems]]> showing defiant behavior]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com is where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER about many Autistic TOPICS.

Learn What Your Autistic Child Is Doing During Recess

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:59:30 -0400

I was curious, so I went to a school to observe recess for autistic children. You may have a concern, and ask the question, what is your autistic child doing during recess? I observed and watched the children, and was amazed how some of them felt isolated, excluded because they did not know how to socialize or take part in activities that were offered. Recess was developed for children to have a special time to be with their peers, friends, socialize, release tension, recharge their emotions and feel good about the time away from their classroom. Your child who has autism, is probably not a child who wants to interact with other children during recess and does not always know what to do during that time. You as parent(s), caregiver(s), may want to make a visit to the school your child attends, that offers recess, make notes of how your child acts, reacts, responds and socialize with other peers. Taking this measure of evaluation and observing your child, you will understand what some of the issues are and what your child is doing during recess. **End Summary** Topics: observe recess]]> autistic child doing]]> child doing]]> enjoy recess]]> enjoying recess]]> learn about recess]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com is where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER with updated topics regarding what is your autistic child doing during recess?

Benefit By Having Downtime For Your Autistic Child

Sun, 27 Feb 2011 06:26:19 -0500

If you have a child who is autistic, you know how imperative it is to have downtown that will benefit your child and you. Creating downtime is a great way to remove your child from the busy schedule that can be taxing on him or her. Autistic children spend time at school with his or her peers, your child may attend tutoring classes, may spend time visiting his or her doctor for medical advise, therapies, and may participate in a structured classroom, with many activities geared for the disorder of autism. A rigid schedule can be stressful and wearing on your child. If your child has siblings, they may have downtime that appears to be different, than your child with autism. Your child with autism may decide to retreat himself or herself into their own world. That world can be a quiet room, a favorite comfort zone, a certain television show, a favorite song, a stuffed animal to talk to or even be with a certain member of the family, to relax, etc. I know my brother had a difficult time to find the energy to be part of every social activity or an activity that required social interaction. **End Summary** Topics: having downtime]]> autistic child]]> spend time]]> creating calming time]]> child attends]]> think downtime]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com is where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER with updated topics about downtime that are imperative for your Autistic child and you.

Have You Heard About Colored Lenses Helping Autistic Children?

Sat, 05 Feb 2011 10:30:16 -0500

I recently did some research about bright lights, fluorescent lights and sunlight, that can create problems for some autistic children. I started to read about these colored lens glasses. I had to find out more information and know what they were and what the effect is, by helping autistic children. I discovered they were lenses that are a form of prism lenses. These type of lenses are useful for individuals who have autism spectrum and are hypersensitive to various kinds of lighting. I remember when my brother had his disorder, he had a difficult time reading. He told my parents the words were like ants crawling on the page. Printed text with its many colors and color contrasts can be a challenge for people who have autism. Sometimes this will give a hypersensitive reaction. I learned with my research that these lenses will improve the attention span and reading skills. In addition, they can help reduce the color sensitivities that your child might experience. Some of the visual problems your child may have is peripheral vision issues, color sensitivity, light hypersensitivity, poor depth perception, and color contrast. This has been identified as Scotopic Sensitivity or Irlen Syndrome. **End Summary** Topics: autistic children]]> helen irlen]]> colored overlays]]> transparencies]]> helping autistic children]]> colored lens glasses]]> colored lens]]> irlencoloredlense]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com is where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER with updated topics that are imperative for your Autistic child and you.

Make Time To Have a Date With Your Autistic Child -To Enjoy Fun and Play

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 13:01:58 -0500

You as parent(s), caregiver(s), might want to consider having a date with your child to enjoy fun and play, which will help improve the social skills for your child. Why are these dates special and important? It gives your child time to spend with siblings adults, friends, peers and relatives. This will help your child gain confidence and self-esteem. Your child who has the disorder of autism may be struggling with social skills. Schools that your child attend is an excellent place to start with social skills. Although, attending schools is not always enough to develop interaction for positive social skills, because they are structured. A date with your child to enjoy for fun and play, can provide time that is not structured, which is valuable for your child and you. This will develop a closeness that often does not happen in a structured atmosphere. Setting a date for fun and play on your calendar, will provide an opportunity for open discussions, interact more freely with his or her siblings, peers and will help your child be more relaxed and calm. This can be extremely helpful for your child, who has the disorder of autism. **End Summary** Topics: play date]]> play dates]]> autistic child]]> special play date]]> play date together]]> special play]]> child beyondautistic]]> social skills]]> make time]]> ]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com is where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER with updated topics that are imperative for your Autistic child and you.

Is Eye Contact Important For Your Autistic Child?

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 13:27:05 -0500

If you have a child with autism, you may have noticed that he or she does not make eye contact in the same way other children do, who do not have autism. The question is, how important is it for your autistic child to make eye contact? When I was younger, I remember my parents would get angry with my brother who had his disorder, because he would not make eye contact. He would look in a distance as though he was in a spacial stare. He would stare, not acknowledge me, or my parents when he was to make eye contact. It was frustrating for my parents, myself and the rest of the family. It was obvious, the more my parents told my brother to look at them when they were speaking, the more frustrating the situation became. My brother displayed nervous reactions to the situation. I have learned, living in our society we are taught to be educated to make eye contact look people in the eye when they are talking and when you are talking to them. If this not done, it is considered to be rude and not kind to the other person. **End Summary** Topics: eye contact]]> make eye contact]]> autistic child]]> contact important]]> eye contact important]]> child grows]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com is where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER with updated topics that are imperative for your Autistic child and you.

As parent(s) and caregiver(s), have you ever thought of how you will make special occasions simple for your child with autism? I have and I know it can be a challenge, but you can keep those special days simple. I have experienced for myself how I love special occasions, birthdays, holidays, special events, etc. but to make them work with very little stress and to keep those days simple, can be difficult. Your child may experience sensory overload and you probably are experiencing emotional overload. It can become extremely stressful. I remember, there were times when I was so excited to plan special times with my brother who had his disorder. At the same time, I dreaded the opportunity of ever thinking of having special occasions or acknowledging them. I became an emotional nervous wreck. I dreaded it. The first thing I decided to do for those days to be the special times and kept simple, was I chose to have small gatherings at my house.

I had to learn many things about the different types of autism, due to the disorder of my brother. One thing I did learn and maybe you have heard the term Pervasive Development Disorder, which is a term used to describe the many different types of autism. * One study of autism has been going on since the 1930's and 40's. This type of autism was called Kanner's, named after the doctor who studied it. During his study, he found that this type of autism revealed a lower functioning type. The individuals who had this type of autism showed socialization problems and communication problems. These individuals are difficult to understand because of their lack of communication, and social skills. The other factor that may be involved with these individuals that have Kanner's autism is, they may have poor motor skills and doing actions that are repetitive motions This could cause temper tantrums, anger outbursts, when there are changes in routine or different schedules, that have to be met. There are some individuals who may not talk or they have a limited vocabulary with no sentences being formed or structured. * Have you ever heard of Rett's Syndrome? **End Summary** Topics: different types]]> different appears]]> asperger autism]]> lower-functioning autism]]> different schedules]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula's informational web sight==> http://www.autismintoawareness.com is a place where you SIGN up and RECEIVE your FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER with updated topics that are imperative for your Autistic child and you.

Evaluate How Your Emotions Influence Your Child With Autism--- Part Two

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 17:33:16 -0400

Having a child with the disorder of autism, often brings about unwanted feelings of emotions. You would prefer to resist and hide these feelings of emotions, rather than to evaluate how your emotions influence your child who is autistic. Remember, this kind of action only pushes these emotions away and they will resurface again, to be dealt with. You are probably going through many emotional hills and valleys with your child. Therefore, it is wise to evaluate your emotions, to find out how they are influencing your child with autism. The purpose of emotions are not to hide them, not to push them away so they are never to be dealt with. The purpose of your emotions are, how they influence your child with autism, by using them as a barometer to indicate whether your life is flowing and balanced. This will produce positive results, that affect your child. Do not be afraid of your emotions, but learn what they are indicating and the results they are giving and creating.

I was taught with my brother and his diagnoses, if I felt any kind of emotions, I was instructed not to express them. There are times when our society does not encourage you to be an individual, which gives you permission to feel and express your emotions. In addition, by not expressing your emotions, this will affect and influence your child with the disorder of autism. It is wise to acquire and obtain acknowledge, so you can express your emotions, as they come. As you do this, you will be evaluating how your emotions influence your child with autism. **End Summary** Topics: evaluateyouremoitons]]> autismemotionsevaluated]]> angeremotions]]> autisminto]]> intoawareness]]> intoawarenessautism]]> healthyemotions]]> influenceautisticemotions]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula provides you with imperative information about Autism.

There are many parent(s), caregiver(s), who have too high expectations for their child with autism. In reality, you must remember, that each person is a separate individual. Your child with autism has a disorder, but he or she should not be put in a position where your expectations of that person is too high.

Do you Fear a Divorce Because you Have an Autistic Child?

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 09:17:51 -0400

I have visited with many parents and caregivers who have children with autism. Many of them fear divorce because their child is autistic. It is easy to ignore the emotions you are feeling, when you have been given the news your child is autistic. Due to this fact, it creates many challenges which can bring about the fear of a divorce threatening in any marriage. I have experienced for myself when my brother was diagnosed with his disorder, our family became extremely dysfunctional. There was much talk about divorce, blame, shame, fear, and not knowing what to do, where to begin and the exhaustion of taking care of my brother. What did this accomplish? There was so much confusion. Living in the present with your relationship you are faced with a huge challenge. You may feel the fear of a divorce because your child is autistic, but you do have choices. If you are willing, you can stay in your relationship and make it work better, you can leave your relationship, even though your child is autistic and you fear a divorce, or you may choose to decide to do nothing and stay in your present situation. **End Summary** Topics: fearofadivorce]]> bonitadarula]]> autismintoawareness]]> blamebringsdivorce]]> shamebringsdivorce]]> dysfunctionalbecauseautism]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Bonita Darula provides you with imperative information about Autism.
