Unit 253 1.1 People with autism experience what professionals call the Triad of Impairments, part of this trio is communication. They have difficulty processing and remembering verbal information. Problems lie in using language effectively, Common problems are lack of eye contact, poor attention, being able to point objects to others, and difficulty with the 'give and take ' in normal conversation. Some individuals sometimes use language in unusual ways, retaining features of earlier stages of language development for long periods or throughout their lives.

Some individuals with autism develop an intense interest in things to the exclusion of other things going on around them and their interest could seem almost ‘obsessive’ to most people. It is sometimes possible to ‘channel’ an individual’s interest and use it as a way of supporting them to develop skills and knowledge, for example, using the bus timetable to assist with numeracy skills or independent living. Some individuals with autism may feel the need to calm their anxiety or to stimulate themselves; this can be seen through self-stimulatory behaviours such as spinning, pacing, waving hands in front of face. There are times were individuals may display repetitive movements and behaviour. 3.3 First you should find the individuals care/support/behaviour management plan, and make yourself familiar with this plan. It should state what triggers or causes the anxiety, stress or distress and what action you should take to reduce the triggers or assist the individual to become calm. A person-centred approach is essential because what may help one individual may not help another. Distract the individual by suggesting an activity they enjoy or just offer the individual some space or a quiet place away from others. Try not to invade personal space and get too close as this may inflame the individual more. 4.1 Individuals with autism have the same prefer structure and routine as most
These snacks are offered freely and never forced upon a child. We’re not to bring in unhealthy snacks for ourselves or eat in front of the children, and if we have unhealthy food it must be kept in a cupboard hidden and put away.
There are many things which can affect access to complementary therapies. The ones I will be explaining are:
The effects of autism on communication are extremely varied. Most individuals do not have any trouble with pronunciation. The problems lie in using language effectively. Common problems are lack of eye contact, poor attention, being able to point objects to others, and difficulty with the 'give and take' in normal conversation. Some individuals sometimes use language in unusual ways, retaining features of earlier

Describe possible multiple conditions and/or disabilities that individuals may have. Individuals may have multiple disabilities/conditions such as mental health issues, physical problems, learning difficulties and sensory loss. Extra support may be required for individuals that may have these multiple disabilities.
Quantitative data can be described as measurable factual and accurate data, i.e. sales, volumes and costs. Can be developed with historic records. Quantative data is more objective rather than subjective focusing on key issues.
Children with autism usually play alone. Often they engage in repetitious activities, such as arranging objects in meaningless patterns, flipping a light switch on and off, or staring at rotating objects. Some engage in repetitious body movements, such as spinning, flapping their arms, swaying, rocking, snapping their fingers, and clapping or flapping their hands. In some cases these movements may be harmful, involving repeated biting of their wrists or banging their head. Children with autism frequently become upset at minor changes in their surroundings and daily routines.
Autism is a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts (“Autism” Def). It’s a disability that affects a person’s communication skills and/or changes in behavior. Autism is usually diagnosed before three years of age and has a lifelong persistence. The causes of this disorder is unclear and there is currently no cure for it. There are two core characteristics of autism. The first being a deficiency in social communication and social interaction. The second is a restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviors, interests, and activities. Clinical features of autism include walking on tiptoes, lack of eye contact, extreme dislike of certain foods or sounds, poor communication skills, repetitive behaviors, and
People with Autism are presented with difficulties with social interactions, in particular, establishing and maintaining relationships. There is a lack of responsiveness to non-verbal forms of communications, like facial expressions, physical gestures and eye contact. Often, they are unable to fully express needs due to being unable to interpret and understand others needs. These lack of social interactions effect their ability to share others interests and activities, which gives the appearance that they are socially distant. The cause of their inability to understand non-verbal forms of communication which causes them to become withdrawn socially; is due to a delay in speech.
People with autism have a lifelong developmental condition that not only affects the way they relate to their environment and interaction with others, but also non-verbal interactions may be misread. (Autism Spectrum
