Curable or not?

     "Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impairs normal functioning of neural development." Autism generally makes humans slower than others. Autism is not known to be curable but you can recover from it with work and time. Most of the people with autism that I know are young so it is hard to tell how much they have really progressed over time. Something that I have noticed though, is that if you treat a child with autism as much like a normal child as possible that they will make progress. For instance, just because autistic children do no do well in groups that does not mean that you should keep them away from groups to just play alone. It is important that you open them up to things that any average child would do.
     Another thing that autistic people may find uncomfortable is using eye contact when talking to people. It is important that you do not make them feel uncomfortable by yelling at them for something that is hard for them but it is good to push them to learn to use eye contact as much as possible. Also, not all techniques work the same on all children. Just like a child without autism, everyone learns at there own pace. I've found that a kid with autism may find memorizing songs easier than a child without autism. This is a perfect example of how everyone is different and learns in their own way. I've also found that is it easier to keep attention from a child without autism than it is with a child who has autism. This is not because the child is stupid, it is just the way that this child may learn. We are all different in our own way, some people it just may be more noticeable on.
