[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be helpful if someone put examples of different levels of autistic behavior. I've heard of kids having autism at my child's school, but I don't know what that means or how to help/not say the wrong thing. When I was growing up, the only autistic kids I heard about had severe symptoms, like rain man or a kid who couldn't connect with others at all on a news program. So, frankly it would be helpful to hear of typical autistic behavior and what to do/not do as a mom of a child whose classmates have autism.[/quote] I we were growing up , expectations were very low to be a typical child.Now the expectations are more to be a typical child.That's the reason we see big increase in autistic people , and we'll continue to see the increase.It doesn't mean that people are getting more impacted by autism , what it means is expectations from a child are increasing![/quote]
