What is the difference between high functioning autism and autism?

Because I have autism at the age of five. But now im 25 years old, I have High functioning autism. So can you tell me whats the difference between these two?
Answer: High and low functioning simply refers to the severity of the symptoms of autism, and if they're able to function independently (potentially with some additional support). Someone who is considered low functioning tends to be non-verbal or have very poor spoken language skills. An adult who is low-functioning would not be able to look after themselves and would live a home with their parents or in a group home because they are unable to care for themselves. Someone who is high-functioning experiences the symptoms of autism to a lessor degree. They may outwardly just appear a bit quirky to others. They hold down jobs and have fully developed spoken language. They are capable of looking after themselves (although some still choose to live at home as it's more comfortable for them)

What is the difference between autism, and autism spectrum?

Doctor states child is autistic, school says chld has autism spectrum disorder?? What is the difference? Can medication help with any of this?
Answer: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a general term that includes Autism, Asperger Syndrome, PPD-NOS and others. The reason they used different terms is that the Dr. gave you a specific diagnosis of Autism, but the school can only determine eligibility for special services. Sometimes schools refer to it as "autism like behavior). Medication is sometimes used to help an issue caused by the autism, say anxiety, but there is no pill to cure it like an antibiotic will cure an infection. It's closer to say that individuals with autism learn to manage their condition. This is done through learning the skills needed to overcome their individual deficits. IMO unless there is a physical danger, it's best to save medication to control behaviors as a last resort. Much better to teach the person through therapies, love and patience more appropriate behaviors. Right now the best thing you can do is to educate yourself about autism and the different treatment/therapy options that are out there. There is no one size fits all treatment plan. Every person is different. You are a full member of your child's' team and the best expert on him there is. You need to help the development of an appropriate plan because you are the constant in the different areas of his life (school, home, activities) and get the big picture. Best of luck- it is an interesting, exasperating, exhilarating e-ticket ride! mom of 2 on the spectrum

What games to play to teach children about autism?

My friends and I are doing a community service project to spread awareness about autism. We are planning a roving carnival, with game stations that children can take part in to learn about autism. Basically we just wanna let them understand how its like to be autistic, or to learn more about autism through the game. Currently the only game we can come up with is Charades. The kids range from 7 years old to 12. Do you guys have any suggestions for games? :)
Answer: Another game that could be fan and shows again how difficult can be to communicate something, is the following: - Place small items like a clothes pin, a key, a battery, a ring, etc each in a small cotton fabric bag (you need to make these) of the same color and tie them shut. - Make two identical bags of each item. And have the kids in two teams. Each kid gets one of the bags. S/he needs to feel what is inside the bag and then describe it to the team-mates without using the name of the item. Example: Key - it is made of metal, can be used to open a door, has teeth, etc. - Time them. The least time to guess gets a higher score. This will show kids how people with autism can sometimes create a mental image of something (thinking in pictures) but it is hard to communicate (put into words) what it is they "see" in their mind. Since the kids do not see item but visualize it through the sense of touch, they create a 3-D mental image of the item, which is similar of how an autistic person will think of an item before communication what they are thinking in words, describing the mental image, is the hardest part, and that is why the speech of many autistic kids is so fragmented because they are describing a mental 3-D image into 2-D words... Once you have made these little bags with the items, you can use them again and again. If they get dirty just put them in a pilowcase and wash them in the washing machine. Good luck!

OPINION; Confessions of a Bad Teacher

I AM a special education teacher. My students have learning disabilities ranging from autism and attention-deficit disorder to cerebral palsy and emotional disturbances. I love these kids, but they can be a handful. Almost without exception, they struggle on standardized tests, frustrate their teachers and find it hard to connect with their peers. - Op-Ed article by New York City public school teacher William Johnson criticizes the current methods used to evaluate the performances of teachers and students; suggests that the evaluation methods cause undue anxiety and stress for the teachers; concludes that without equal educational resources to all students and teachers, no matter where they come from, performance cannot be measured with any scientific accuracy.

What is the difference between Autism and Aspergers Syndrome?

The only thing I basically know is from Dear John when he says Aspergers is living in our world with adaptations but Autism is living in their own world. Could someone explain that because I dont really understand it.
Answer: Asperger's syndrome is a type of autism. Classic autism (often just called "autism") is another type of autism. Both of them are autism spectrum disorders. Since they are spectrum disorders, the severity of them can vary quite a bit between individuals. Asperger's syndrome is milder than classic autism. People with Asperger's syndrome are usually high functional, while people with classic autism can be anything between low functional to high functional. In classic autism there is speech delay (which varies in severity between individuals), but in Asperger's syndrome there is no speech delay. Some (not all) people who have classic autism have mental retardation too, but people with Asperger's syndrome never have mental retardation and often have above average intelligence. People with low functioning autism usually have much more severe symptoms than people with Asperger's syndrome. High functioning autism and Asperger's syndrome are very similar and often the only difference is the speech delay. Both people with classic autism and people with Asperger's syndrome sort of live in their own world, but since people with Asperger's syndrome are usually more high functional than people with classic autism, they are often better able to connect with the neurotypical world too. I hope this helps you understand it better.

Autism Rates Climb Again, 1 in 88 Kids Now Considered Autistic

It seems that we often hear or read about how autism rates are increasing, and sobering new statistics expected to be released by the Centers For Disease.

Autism?????

Hey, Im 13 years old. My older brother James is 16 and has autism. Hes not that high functioning and is relatively normal except a few slips. When people ask me whats wrong with him I dont know what to say. Any ideas? Its getting pretty awkward :( For the longest time Ibe just been pretending that I didnt hear the person that asked the question.
Answer: First, I'd like to say that I am very glad to hear you say that he has Autism and not that he is Autistic. It might seem small, but you aren't allowing his autism to define him. It's just something he has. I don't have any easy answer on what to say to people when they ask that question. My siblings obviously have Autism. I choose to tell people straight out and then answer any questions that they may have BUT I am also a lot older than you. When I was in high school, I had trouble even admitting to myself that there was a problem. Socially, i didn't know how people would treat me knowing about the Autism (yes, I know, that was very self centred, but who isn't in high school). I realized that being straight about it was best for me. Autism is more frequently diagnosed nowadays and you might be surprised to find out that people you know have siblings with Autism. It does make it easier when other friends are having similar experiences. Remember that some people are asking because they truly care. Those are the people to answer. Good Luck

What evidence supports the assumption that autism can not be cured?

Im curious. Ive always believed that autism can be corrected (perhaps cured is not the appropriate word). . . we just dont have the means to do so yet. There has been tremendous success in mainstreaming high functioning autistic children and I think it is just a matter of time before the medical and educational community comes up with a better way to teach lower functioning children. However, many do not agree . . .
Answer: I am a former ABA therapist and now a mother to a child with autism. I dont know where these people are getting there info, but they must live in states that do not have good ABA programs. When I was in college I worked for WEAP while the were replicating Lovaas's study on ABA therapy and recovery. Almost 50% of the kids in both studies "recovered" meaning they were in a reg. ed classroom with no aid by 1st grade, were social, indistinguishable from their peers, normal IQ, etc... these kids were followed to adulthood and were still successful (married, had friends, college grads, etc..). All of the kids made improvement even if they did not recover. So, no there is no cure, but there is hope.

Older sibling molested younger sibling? What kid of help is available?

I apologize for how long this is but Im really worried about my nephew. He is 12 years old and was fairly recently diagnosed with Aspergers (autism). He is very high functioning but isnt "normal" to other kids so he is bullied and harassed constantly. His shirts are flushed down the toilet at gym class, he is pushed down the stairs at school, teachers are even making fun of him but the school wont do ANYTHING about it. He has the social skills of an 6-8 year old but at the same time, he is going through puberty and got caught about 2 weeks ago after purchasing an adult movie when no one was around. There has since been a password put on the cable box but that doesnt change what already happened. The other night he apparently went into his 7 year old brothers bed and was touching him in the privates. He admitted what he had done and my 7 year old nephew has been staying the weekend at his dads house since the incident. There are alot of other details and whatnot but Im trying to stick to the point. We are very worried and concerned for my nephew, this isnt something you ever think you would go through and we have no idea what is going to happen. CPS was called last week by my sisters ex husband for something else, a false accusation, and she was basically cleared and they said they will check back within 6 weeks before closing the case. Now that this has happened, she is afraid they will remove both of her sons from the house and she will lose custody. She hasnt done anything wrong as a parent, my nephew is very troubled and needs help...not to be shunned. I have no idea how to help my sister get through this. Can someone please help?

Answer: Asperger's is a type of autism. Autism has many different types, ranging from mild to severe. Aspberger's is a fairly mild type of Autism, where the child is generally able to function at a very high level - it's also more difficult to diagnose, because kids with Asperger's may have developmental delays and social problems but may not be as typically withdrawn as those with a more severe case of Autism.

Answer: My nephew was recently diagnosed with aspergers syndrome and my sister has received a reasonable amount of help since then. NO ONE will believe your sister is to blame so she shouldn't worry about that in the least. The only thing i would recommend is that she is firm with the authorities in the help that her son will receive. For example given my sister fought for a private teacher to come to her house to teach my nephew as he was missing school and the authorities said that this was too expensive. I also suggest that she goes to get several doctor's advice. Good luck. She must be glad to have a sister who offers so much help.

What is the difference between High functioning Autism and Asbergers?

Ive got high functioning autism and i have got friends with Asbergers. Asbergers is a form of autism but what is the actual difference between the both?
Answer: Asperger's is a certain type of high fnctioning autism. It has distinct signs in males and females. One person with it might be a compulsive liar who hates people and studies science, while another person might be a writer who loves people and can't hold interest in just one subject all the time, but many. They can get along with people if they have to, and some really want to. They probably have high iqs or above average. They obsess on things in a manner similar to those with autism, but they have more ability to act on their ideas and feelings, as they are more in tune with those. They are overwhelmed by them sometimes, but not as much as someone with just autism, who might throw a fit instead of say, skip class or tell someone off. They are usually perceived as aloof, but some can be seen as too friendly. They can be childlike, but also too old if that makes sense. They revert back to childlke behaviors when facing unknown problems. High functioning autism...I'm going to say the people with that might not have genius iqs, but they might have above average or normal, and interact differently with people. They are usually very sweet ALL the time, and not always aware of when people are making fun of them, unlike an Aspie who figures it out. This doesn't mean they don't sometimes realize it. They might not even care when someone does it coz they aren't thinking like it matters. They are in their own world more. They usually are very good at one or two things that will be their FAVORITE things they always talk about and do things about. I usually see high functionings as very sweet and always wanting to be nice or have others be nice. They don't seem to think about mean stuff or worry about what others are going to do, because they have their own thing. I don't know if you find this true at all. Every one is different with their own personality, and can be a slight bit higher or lower on the scale. A clinician, or a search on Google for the definitions and diagnostics, might help you more. Thought i'd give a personal perspective.

What questions should the money for autism research address?

Would you be interested in finding if there is a relationship between paternal age and autism currently in the US? What specific questions do you want answered? Do you want pre-natal testing worked on? Dear SpecEdtch, . We need to get the data.You know how horrible the situation is for these kids and yet people keep ignoring the fathers age issue. It is not fair to to be so cavalier about the risks of later fathering because the parents are not the ones who have such agonizing lives. We now know that sperm mutate. If guys want to become fathers late I think they should banks their semen in their 20s. I hope you speak out,because you know a lot about the realities. I wish you the best in your work. Maybe you could write a book about your experience because someone has to tell it like it is. It is not to make anyone feel guilty but to make people aware of reality. Dear basketcase Thank you, it is very exciting. In a 1980 study of autism in Sweden 34 was the mean age of the fathers and at that time this mean age was much older than the fathers is the non -affected group. I hope a lot of money goes to programs to help these kids as they grow up. But we may need to re-think what is an older father. Certainly 32 seems quite young now-a days. Alex
Answer: Yes, I would be interested in the parental age of autistic children. In my experience many of my students parents were older than 30 when they had their children. I work directly with adolescents who are severely autistic with cognitive disabilities, and minimal to non-verbal in communication skills. My students are extremely aggressive. They are both self-injurious and assultive. Finding material that is age appropriate is next to impossible. Add to that covering state curriculm as required by NCLB and its a deadend. My students do not benifit from being mandated to be instructed like non-disabled peers...actually this is torture and quite possibly part of the reason for violent aggressive behaviors. We are trying to emerse them in instructional materials that have no meaning to them, and will do nothing to better enable them to live the fullest lives they are able to live. These children need intensive behavioral managment before they can learn about the water cycle, yet I am charged with teaching the water cycle by law and job description. BTW I was not told of the severity of behaviors that I confront daily when I interviewed for the job. I am there six months and I will be their at least until June maybe through the summer 07. I do not know if I am meant to work with this population, but I am acutely aware that these children are not receiving the help they need and this weighs on my heart and mind heavily. I suppose simply put much research needs to be put into adolescent autistic children with severe behavioral disorders.
