AUTISM SPEAKS

History

There was a time when people treated autistic children and their parents as INFLUENCE OF EVIL SPIRITS, CURSE or result of SINs from their religious belief. Autism children also meant children with abnormality was burdened and a challenged born children among the neighbours or societies as shame. Some famillies made forced abortion after being diagnosed a children with abnormality in mothers womb. Some famillies were struggling given birth of autistic children causes their life long involvement for a child with non curable abnormal Physical & Psychological condition associated to their economical fragile conditions. Parents were seperated due to mothers’ vehemence for a kid of any form. Result caused some mothers begged rest of their life for looking after their autistic children. Some members of civilled societies are still showing inhumanity & heathenism by chaining up their autisam children in the parked cars and also turned the car windows up during shopping. Treatment like impeding free air flow caused suffocation to death of their autistic children in occassions. As a result of such tragic disappearence of their autism children, the parents find some form of mental relief. So that the parents make deep breaths as they wouldn’t called a parent of a autistic children any more in their societies. Some famillies would never introduce their autistic children with their guests despite curosity of the autism children.
In those sorts of overwhelming situation few great hearted personals like; Sociologists, Psychologists, Scientists, Doctors, Nurses, Social Workers, Social Reformers & researchers had been stepped forward appreared in the societies to free those parents and their children with autism. To rehabilitate those vulnerable people in the siciety with the main stream or making a break through the stagnant societies accross the world, the social researchers found basic mile stones. Speechless animals & birds has sensation of feelings. They can follow directions, finding foods to meet up their hungers. These animals has feelings to realise differences of days & nights, some animals shows their love & affection to human, by providing training some birds are also shows love & affections to human, even some birds can follow to learn speaking like human. If it is so then why not a human baby who has born with neurological boundness could come out of their stress atleast partially to heal their self motivations.

Imagining from the perspective of the children with autism & their poor famillies in Bangladesh, the great hearted, an imaginative social reformer /researcher, the grand daughter of the father of the nation of Bangladesh BANGA BANDHU SK. MUJIBUR RAHMAN and the daughter of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh Mrs. Saima Wazed Putul dedicated her colorful background in concentrating on Autism children and their poor parents problems & relief.

But her concentration and dedication made a break through not only in Bangladesh as well as in the largest space of the world Autism forum.

TYPES OF AUTISM:

The joint effort found and classified Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a Neurological Stress Disorder. There are five major types of autism which include;
1. Asperger’s syndrome, 2. Rett syndrome,
3. Childhood disintegrative disorder,
4. Kanner’s syndrome,
5. Pervasive developmental disorder – not otherwise specified.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neuro developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. People with ASD often have problems with;
* Social communication and interaction, and restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests.
* People with ASD may also have different ways of learning, moving, or paying attention. It is important to note that some people without ASD might also have some of these symptoms. But for people with ASD, these characteristics can make life very challenging.

Social Communication and Interaction Skills;

Social communication and interaction skills can be challenging for people with ASD.
[Baby – Human Age, Waving – Gesture, Child, Happiness, Looking At Camera]
Examples of social communication and social interaction characteristics related to ASD can include;
# Avoids or does not keep eye contact,
# Does not respond to name by 9 months of age,

# Does not sing, dance, or act for you by 60 months of age,
Restricted or Repetitive Behaviors or Interests; People with ASD have behaviors or interests that can seem unusual. These behaviors or interests set ASD apart from conditions defined by problems with social communication and interaction only.

Screening and Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be difficult because there is no medical test, like a blood test, to diagnose the disorder. Doctors look at the child’s developmental history and behavior to make a diagnosis.
ASD can sometimes be detected at 18 months of age or younger. By age 2, a diagnosis by an experienced professional can be considered reliable [1]. However, many children do not receive a final diagnosis until much older. Some people are not diagnosed until they are adolescents or adults. This delay means that people with ASD might not get the early help they need.
Diagnosing children with ASD as early as possible is important to make sure children receive the services and supports they need to reach their full potential [2]. There are several steps in this process.

Developmental Monitoring;

Developmental monitoring is an active, ongoing process of watching a child grow and encouraging conversations between parents and providers about a child’s skills and abilities. Developmental monitoring involves observing how your child grows and whether your child meets the typical developmental milestones, or skills that most children reach by a certain age, in playing, learning, speaking, behaving, and moving.

Parents, grandparents, early childhood education providers, and other caregivers can participate in developmental monitoring. CDC’s Learn the Signs. Act Early. program has developed free materials, including CDC’s Milestone Tracker app, to help parents and providers work together to monitor your child’s development and know when there might be a concern and if more screening is needed. You can use a brief checklist of milestones to see how your child is developing. If you notice that your child is not meeting milestones, talk with your doctor or nurse about your concerns and ask about developmental screening. Learn more about CDC Milestone Tracker app, milestone checklists, and other parent materials.

When you take your child to a well visit, your doctor or nurse will also do developmental monitoring. The doctor or nurse might ask you questions about your child’s development or will talk and play with your child to see if they are developing and meeting milestones.
Your doctor or nurse may also ask about your child’s family history. Be sure to let your doctor or nurse know about any conditions that your child’s family members have, including ASD, learning disorders, intellectual disability, or attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Developmental Screening;

Developmental screening takes a closer look at how your child is developing.
Developmental screening is more formal than developmental monitoring. It is a regular part of some well-child visits even if there is not a known concern.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends developmental and behavioral screening for all children during regular well-child visits at these ages:
9 months
18 months
30 months
In addition, AAP recommends that all children be screened specifically for ASD during regular well-child visits at these ages:
18 months
24 months

Screening questionnaires and checklists are based on research that compares your child to other children of the same age. Questions may ask about language, movement, and thinking skills, as a well as behaviors and emotions. Developmental screening can be done by a doctor or nurse, or other professionals in healthcare, community, or school settings. Your doctor may ask you to complete a questionnaire as part of the screening process. Screening at times other than the recommended ages should be done if you or your doctor have a concern. Additional screening should also be done if a child is at high risk for ASD (for example, having a sibling or other family member with ASD) or if behaviors sometimes associated with ASD are present. If your child’s healthcare provider does not periodically check your child with a developmental screening test, you can ask that it be done.

Developmental Diagnosis;

A brief test using a screening tool does not provide a diagnosis, but it can indicate whether a child is on the right development track or if a specialist should take a closer look. If the screening tool identifies an area of concern, a formal developmental evaluation may be needed. This formal evaluation is a more in-depth look at a child’s development and is usually done by a trained specialist such as a developmental pediatrician, child psychologist, speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, or other specialist. The specialist may observe the child give the child a structured test, ask the parents or caregivers questions, or ask them to fill out questionnaires. The results of this formal evaluation highlight your child’s strengths and challenges and can inform whether they meet criteria for a developmental diagnosis.
A diagnosis of ASD now includes several conditions that used to be diagnosed separately; autistic disorder, pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and Asperger syndrome. Your doctor or other healthcare provider can help you understand and navigate the diagnostic process.
The results of a formal developmental evaluation can also inform whether your child needs early intervention services. In some cases, the specialist might recommend genetic counseling and testing for your child.

Types of Treatment / therapies;

There are many types of treatments available. These treatments generally can be broken down into the following categories, although some treatments involve more than one approach:
Behavioral
Developmental
Educational
Social-Relational
Pharmacological
Psychological
Complementary and Alternative
Current treatments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) seek to reduce symptoms that interfere with daily functioning and quality of life.1 ASD affects each person differently, meaning that people with ASD have unique strengths and challenges and different treatment needs.1 Therefore, treatment plans usually involve multiple professionals and are catered toward the individual.
Treatments can be given in education, through dance & music, health, community, or home settings, or a combination of settings. It is important that providers communicate with each other and the person with ASD and their family to ensure that treatment goals and progress are meeting expectations.
As individuals with ASD exit from high school and grow into adulthood, additional services can help improve health and daily functioning, and facilitate social and community engagement. For some, supports to continue education, complete job training, find employment, and secure housing and transportation may be needed.

CONCLUSION

Now parents of Autism children are no longer worried about their children. They arn’t hiding their children from their neighbours any more. Because the treatments or therapies provided according to the types of ASD made a miracle out come from their behaviour. Their concentration in one special topic gives them speciality. So the Autism children now called a SPECIAL CHILD. The parents are also acknowleged that CHILDREN with AUTISM sometimes turns into a world famous character. The special children are also participating;

IN THE OLYMPIC (COMMONWEALTH GAMES):

The special children are now participating in the Olympic Sweeming competition, in racing track, competing in baskate ball, football,

OTHER SKILLS:

In computer skills, Dance & Music, In drawing competitions, In marketing, In customer services, serving for the governmental jobs, Very recently found a special child flying an aircraft as a pilot,
