Greetings!, my name's Ken (one on the left), thanks for taking the time to pop by.
If you're new to hearing about autism, congratulations, you made it to the right place, or if you just want to extend your current knowledge on autism, yes you're still in the right place. Autism is a social challenge that we as global citizens must learn to accept as we all live with each other in this world, but also how we can extend our help towards them.
Growing up with a younger brother who had autism, I found it tough at times to accept the imperfections, and challenges which came along. Although, as I got older, I learned to accept him as he is, I learnt that I should cope no matter the struggles, because we are all human. Unique in our bodies, United in the way we think.
That's all from me! I hope it instills a message of understanding, courage, and love within you as a Global Citizen to understand people with autism and to give them the chance to thrive in this constantly changing world
-Ken
Introduction to Autism
The autism spectrum is a range of differences in how people think, communicate, and interact with the world around them. A person on the autism spectrum might process information, senses, or social situations in unique ways. For example, they may have intense, focused interests, find certain sounds or lights overwhelming, or prefer predictable routines. Social interactions can be challenging, as understanding unspoken cues or making eye contact might not come naturally. It’s called a "spectrum" because these characteristics show up differently in every person. Some may need significant support in daily life, while others may need less. Overall, autism is a lifelong part of how a person's brain is wired, not an illness to be cured.
Through play
Traditional instruction can clash with unique cognitive styles, making standard classroom environments challenging. However, this same neurology can enable intense concentration and mastery of subjects that align with core passions.
Through Emotion
Through Learning
Social games can be overwhelming, leading to a preference for solitary, repetitive play. This can create a barrier to shared experiences with peers, but fosters deep, focused expertise in chosen interests.
Sensory and social overload can make emotions feel intense and difficult to process in the moment. This may lead to withdrawal or outbursts as the nervous system seeks regulation, but also allows for profound depth of feeling.
