As a teen, I was diagnosed as having autism and then later in life, I was diagnosed with a form of autism as well. To me, it all came down to one thing.
I was told that I “happened to be born with it and it is not a disease of the brain.” What’s hilarious is that I would’ve taken that as a very good thing. I have absolutely no idea why I became autistic. I am one of those people who seem to be unable to see straight even when they are staring straight into the sun. It’s like the whole autism spectrum has been built on a single thing, one person who was born with it.
To the rest of you who are autistic, I will say that a lot of the symptoms you have are a combination of a variety of different conditions. I also think that as time goes on, your sensitivity to certain things will become more evident. For example, I feel that everything I see or do or listen to will always seem to be at the same level of intensity because of how autistic I am.
I have been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, or ASD, as the official name of my condition. This is caused by a combination of a number of different brain and behavioral problems. The two main areas of concern for me are social and language processing, which can become very difficult at times, and also sensory processing, which I am often affected by.
Autism is a condition that can be challenging for anyone. It is a very broad spectrum of behaviors that can range from being hyper-focused on certain things to being completely withdrawn. The two main areas of concern are social and language processing, which can become very difficult at times, and also sensory processing, which I am often affected by.
The thing is, my son has Autism Spectrum Disorder. I don’t know that anyone here has a son with the same condition as me, but I’m very thankful that I’m not alone in this. It’s hard to know what’s normal, what’s not, and what to expect as your child gets older. I hope this is of some help to you.
Although I’m not a parent, I have a friend who is a parent. She has had her son with the same condition for over 10 years. She’s currently working on a book about it called, “What Happens When People with Autism Sleep Over.” It’s still quite a bit of a work in progress, but that’s what she’s hoping to accomplish.
My daughter, a 2 yo with the same condition, has also had a few episodes of being hyper. Not as violent as it sounds, just very anxious.
In a few weeks my daughter will be turning five years old and is already experiencing a few of the side effects of the condition. She is starting to be an extreme anxiety case, but this is just the beginning. She will also be experiencing some “autism-like” symptoms. I am told that my daughter has a higher than normal sensitivity to light, so for example, she has very dark circles under her eyes and does not like the sun.
This is one of those things that is a combination of the two. Autism Light Sensitivity means that your child has increased sensitivity to light and has an increased tendency to avoid bright daylight. Autism-like symptoms include a lack of eye contact, and a fear of bright light.
