The Autistic Children

Normally, the first symptom of the autism appears in the child during the first 30- months from the birth. The child shows lack of interest or laziness in learning or following. Such children are also showing behavioural attitudes like sleeping for long-hours, less-crying and physical inactiveness. These children also start learning at later age. Sometimes parents of such children think that their child is dumb as they behave in very stereo type manners and hardly showing any facial expressions or gestures. They mostly try to avoid eye-contacts and are slow learners. Compared to girls, the Autism is prevailing 4% higher in the boys. By the age of adulthood such children are showing 30-40 % improvement, but, for that they require help, guidance and support. The child suffering from the Autism is showing intellectual growth of three year-old at the age of 10. If such children are not given proper care and attention than problems start arising in the daily life and family falls into a deep trouble.

The better results could be derived from the Autistic children if all of them are kept busy in the group activities like music, plays, sports, interaction and co-education. Autism is a long-term challenge and better results could be achieved with parents showing patience and tolerance than the medications.
The Children with Inability to Learn:
