The prospect of raising a child with autism can be a daunting one for parents, but it also affects the other children in the family and other family members. Many children with autism require a structured environment and a familiar routine in order to function and behave properly.
As humans, we have developed many different ways to communicate with each other. These include both verbal and nonverbal methods. Throughout time, man has used sounds, pictures, and has developed language to tell stories and pass along information to others. With the use of language comes the need for writing.
Children affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) develop differently than other children. ASD is a disorder that affects the brain’s development and varies widely from child to child. While one child may be nonverbal while another may have trouble with auditory input. Another way a child may be affected by autism is in their development of motor skills.
