High Functioning Autism
It has been observed that persons with high functioning autism have an IQ of 85 and above and they show a restraint when it comes to social interaction or mingling. The reason for usage of “high functioning” word can be attributed to the skills present in asperger syndrome person that can help them in leading independent life.
And where as the “autism” word part refers to traits that restrict persons from free social interaction and the inability to understand the non-verbal communication. There will be a tendency to take the spoken word literally and asperger syndrome affected persons will love to repeat few restricted movements.
They are also not able to concentrate due to the sensory overload that may result in frustration expressed more violently and visibly. Despite the fact of persons afflicted with high functioning autism looking normal, they still require some help and treatment for mending various other behaviours.
Its Monsta all over to the last word of it
My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD when she was only 5 years old, kinda late huh? Because I didn't see it, my friends kept on saying that she needs to see a doctor but maybe I was blinded because of denial that I have a child who has that disorder. So now she is 16 and has a problem at school, I was called like a week ago to see the counselor. We talked about transferring her to a DAY school. Moreover the counselor suggested some programs for teens with adhd which are individual counseling, support groups, camps and therapeutic school which would definitely help us cope with the situation. :D
