Can you give me just a lil background on Autisim? I don't know what it is...
At one extreme you have a 'Rainman' idea of Autism an idiot savant to a high functioning clever person who struggles to indentify with people.
Possible Symptoms
Withdrawn from the real world
Has set rituals for every aspect of life
Will often not accept physical touch, or touch is over sensitive
Is strongly attached to objects rather than people.
Obession with a specific subject
May have problems developing speech during childhood
Fail to understand sarcasm, or think literally. i.e Jump into shower and misses verbal cues.
Often struggles to recognise faces & other peoples emotions.
Dislikes crowds and changes and unfamilar situations
Autistic peole are just people who are not wired the same way as so called 'normal' people. They are often creative people who have an interesting outlook on life.
One high functioning Autistic man said ' It is like being an alien dropped in a middle of a dinner party' He meant he needs to learn all the social interation that he can't see.
