Teenagers with Autism and How to Deal With Them

When a child enters their teenage years, this can be one of the most difficult times for parents. The teenage years are when the child reaches puberty. When a child reaches puberty parents tend to lose control over normal situations due to the changes that the teenager is going through in their minds and bodies. Puberty isnt any different in a teenager that has autism. The body still goes through the hormonal changes that puberty brings, though the experience may be quite different from that of someone who does not have autism. These changes can have serious results in your child. The way that your child accepts these changes will determine if the seriousness of these changes are good or bad.



Seizures are a side effect that a person with autism may experience as the body changes. This side effect is one of the scariest to undergo. There are many people who were born wit autism that has suffered from seizures from birth on into adulthood. The seizures that occur in puberty can happen even if your child has never before had seizures due these new changes in the body. Having a violent shaky seizure doesnt have to be a bad thing. Seizures affect < of the children that have autism. These seizures may go unnoticed due to the fact that these seizures are not classified as seizures. If you think your child has been or is having seizures then tell your doctor so that they can treat them right away. Maybe these seizures are small and your or child may not be able to notice. A loss in being able to function may be the result of such seizures. The important thing to remember is to keep regular check ups for your child.



These new changes in your childs body may not necessarily a bad thing. There may be skills or interest that your child may have grown in due to these new hormonal changes affecting your autistic child. The change into puberty has led some autistic children to have improved behavior and their ability to learn in social situations as reported by some parents.



Remembering to ask our doctor plenty of questions and keeping a close monitor on your autistic children is the most important thing. Making the change into puberty is a very big change for any teenager to go through, so it may be even greater for the teenager with autism. In order to smooth the change into adulthood, handle your autistic child with a lot of understanding and even more patience.

    Most teens and grown-ups with autism have less extreme side effects and practices as they get more seasoned, a pivotal report appears. Only one out of every odd adult with autism shows signs of improvement.

New Theory Of Autism Suggests Symptoms Or Disorder May Be Reversible

Source: Science Daily ScienceDaily (Apr. 2, 2009) — Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have proposed a sweeping new theory of autism that suggests that the brains of people with autism are structurally normal but dysregulated, meaning symptoms of the disorder might be reversible. The central tenet of the theory, published in the March issue of Brain Research Reviews, is that autism is a developmental disorder caused by impaired regulation of the locus coeruleus, a bundle of neurons in the brain stem that processes sensory signals from all areas of the body. The new theory stems from decades of anecdotal observations that some autistic children seem to improve when they have a fever, only to regress when the fever ebbs. A 2007 study in the journal Pediatrics took a more rigorous look at fever and autism, observing autistic children during and after fever episodes and comparing their behavior with autistic children who didn't have fevers. This s...

Benefits of Occupational Therapy for Autism

Occupational therapists study human growth and development and a person’s interaction with the environment through daily activities. They are experts in the social, emotional, and physiological effects of illness and injury. This knowledge helps them promote skills for independent living in people with autism and other developmental disorders.

These goals often involve social interaction, behavior, and classroom performance. Occupational therapists can help in two main ways: evaluation and therapy. How is occupational therapy useful for evaluation of autism? The therapist observes children to see if they can do tasks they are expected to do at their ages -- getting dressed or playing a game, for example. Sometimes, the therapist will have the child videotaped during the day in order to see how the child intera...
