Autism spectrum disorder Awareness"

What is your Understanding of autistic spectrum disorder?
In my understanding,Autistic Spectrum Disorder is a disability which is associated with the differences in the human brain. It is a condition in which an individual faces persistent challenge such as lacking social communication skills.

State and explain early signs or symptoms of Autism spectrum disorder.
The various early signs of Autism Spectrum Disorder are;

• Lacking joint attention: We all know that children tends to look at the direction at which their parents is pointing and then look back at the parent then tries to immitate what the parent said or their facial expression but children developing Autism Spectrum Disorder may not be interested or ignores what ever the parent is doing.
• Delay in language: Children developing Autism
  Spectrum Disorder usually display delaying in speech.
• They also include a child displaying activities that is injurous to them such as hitting the head against the wall or biting their fingers
• Individuals developing Autism Spectrum Disorder are usually very sensitive to sound and light,resist cuddles and holding of hands. Prefers playing alone and cannot maintain eye contact or start conversations.

Is it a curable Disease?, How can it be handled?.
There is no known cure for it.
ASD can be handled by frequently praising the child whenever she/he does something right
Making the child take part in fun filled recreational activities because when they are happy they tend to try their best to be of good conduct so that they can still enjoy the privilege.

Have you ever had an encounter with a person suffering from autistic spectrum disorder ?.
I have had an encounter once,she was always very quiet and creepy. She would not talk or play with other kids, she was always reserved but i noticed she took interest in colourful things like flowers and animated drawing. So i always tried my best to always get her a flower whenever i stepped out. Since they came for vacation and they had to go back so since they left i haven' t heard from them

Share your advice to the society, caregivers, and parents of children with autism?
Since they are still humans and is not different from other children always show love to your children no matter the health condition they may have.
Always appreciate them for the little things they do
