There are a large variety of associated symptoms when it comes to autism and many different types of autism. Generally, autism is a disorder accompanied by neurobehavioral issues regarding communication, social interaction and other developmental problems. The severity of symptoms ranges anywhere from someone needing constant supervision and even institutionalized care down to a slight handicap where the person is able to take care of his or her own needs and otherwise live normally.
People with autism often have a hard time deciphering other's feelings, making it hard for them to interact socially. Experiencing this as a child can be very frustrating, and when symptoms are not addressed properly, the condition can worsen. Parents and other caregivers can feel overwhelmed at times when caring for someone with autism, and that is why they are always encouraged to seek out help from medical professionals and organizations that can ensure their child gets all the required care.
When it comes to different types of autism, not only do symptoms vary, but there are going to be individual circumstances that arise from time to time which both the child and caregiver have to learn to manage. For example, a person with autism might have a certain repetitive movement he or she always makes, or the person might be afraid of water. Certain "ticks" can cause extremely volatile situations for some, and it takes a learn as you go approach when it comes to these situations.
Autistic individuals can also be classified as "savant." This means that aside from the symptoms that afflict them, they have special talents that usually blow the minds of most other people. For example, an autistic savant individual might find a piano one day, sit down, and start playing compositions that would take years for others to learn. Not all autistic people are savant, and the ones that are do not all have the same talents.
The idea behind and autistic person being classified as "savant" further develops the medical perspective that autism has much to do with uneven cognitive development. If your child has been diagnosed with autism, you've surely had a look at the different types of autism and how to manage your child's symptoms and help them develop and live a happy life. No doubt your child is special and when autism is managed properly, all the unique blessings stemming from the condition are allowed to surface.
