and it says a woman wasn't diagnosed with autism (actually PDD-NOS) until she was 37 and it's sometimes missed in females.
And it says, "Girls with disorders on the autism spectrum are often perceived as just being shy, Buskirk says."
So, how are girls diagnosed? Like the ones that have been diagnosed, how did you find out if people think you're just a bit odd or shy?
Also, are the symptoms different in older girls, like teens, adults?
I don't think i have it, although i do have some of the symptoms, such as toe-walking, lack of eye contact, sensitive to certain things - things ( like 'flashes' ) hurt my eyes easily, no friends my own age (i get on better with older people or foreign people), i don't know how to start a conversation/ continue a conversation and a bunch of other things.
Although those could be for other reasons i think. People just think i'm 'odd' or 'different' or 'very shy'.Autism? Help please.?
I suggest you read Asperger's and Girls by Tony Attwood.
Well, that's something that may be very true indeed.
Even though I have been totally socialy inept and silent and had a stange way of understanding things, and even though I was capable of making my teachers bug on any subject before even being 12, no one noticed that I was an autist.
My father thought that having a perfect flat tone, not understanding the basics of self care, thinking that all events in this world are an illusion that hide a pattern, was perfectly normal, and my mother just feard that I was schyzophrenic because I hated body contact, never hugged and rarely smiled. (I alos talked in a straight way without respecting what they call: empathy)
People around me thought that the fact that I sit in a place and don't move or talk was just shyness!
only one teacher noticed and asked me to bring my parents (what I never bothered to aknowledge, or do), but when she met my mother by some sort of luck my mother could not believe her and told her that I was just a talented and perfectly sane person who was just a little shy.
At 8 years old I began copying people, (and failing miserably at even making a conversation, since I just learned and repeated what I heard other people say), but after a time I just gave up on stupid relationships and acted anti socially.
I was so unable to understand the world where I lived that I had a split personality disorder at the age of 12. Then I was not only an autsit, but a sociopath too... People were completely unable to notice anything by that time, because I finally kind of mastered the art of copy.
I never knew that I was autistic till the day where I decided to repeat aloud all my thoughts from age 4. Because I understood thanks to a single line in a book that I was the odd one, and not the rest of humanity.
Seriousely, I don't know about others, but I think that society expect a boy to be more "ALIVE", so it misses the fact that he's autistic a little less.
My grandmother is an asperger, and I was the only one to notice. I feel bad for her. I hate when high IQ is wasted.Autism? Help please.?
here is a general principle which you can choose to employ
a concept called karma and this seems to be the only thing stopping us from achieving , health wealth and happiness One of the most powerful allies to any person is to know about karma therapy for if you understand this you can even
Avoid getting health or wealth or happiness problems
Or if you currently have problems in those areas Give you the most effective tool, which I have come across to help you alleviate them.
This is the tool The value of givingPutting something or some service into society is one of the most transforming tools with which we all benefit . The value of it is much higher than we can possibly know and it should be included as part of everyone鈥檚 health program. The giver may ask how will helping others help my health and me! That is a very good question, which is very worthy of a serious amount of thought. This touches on the concept which is called karma .
For if one truly wants to live with the great allies of Health, wealth, happiness, Love and all those effects which one values one should really understand this concept. It is the only thing, which explains the apparent randomness of the effects, which come upon people.
Effects are all aspects of health, Wealth, Richness, [note these two are separate] Happiness etc.What is karma? Put simply it is the law of cause and effect. Or put as another way as you sow so shall you reap, or what goes around comes around. What do we mean by sowing? Simply every action or deed you do causes an effect and every thought causes an effect.
So if you have sown good deeds as in helping others, being of service, giving love and Kindness for lengthy periods of time you can expect to reap those seeds. Alternatively if we have sown other deeds and thoughts of a hurtful nature we can expect problems of one nature or another to beset us. Edgar Cayce frequently mentioned in treating disease that we were working against karma and frequently told people that they would get well faster by helping others.
Ah you may say why is it that babies are sometimes born with so many impediments; they have not sown wrongful acts.Yes they have not in this lifetime but what about their previous lives as in reincarnation. You may not wish to go into this subject at this time but there are millions of references to it, some in the bible and a lot of eastern religions, some people can actually remember their past lives.
There is now even past life regression therapy used in hypnosis to treat phobias, which are not connected with this lifetime.
now listen to this next concept really carefully
If we are unwell and by implication therefore suffering from past seeds sown it follows therefore one of the fastest ways to get well is to incorporate into your treatment plan service or giving to somebody as often as you can .
Ask for opportunities to be of service .I have proved this concept on a daily basis and feel that this concept is so important in all types of healing and to achieve other effects like having friends ,enriching experiences, money and other effect which we all need.
Just a few examples of how we can be of service 鈥揼iving Sharing our being, our wealth, sending our thoughts, giving to charity, sharing a joke, uplifting someone, giving listening time, giving healing, giving labour, giving love, giving entertainment, giving food, giving information and a million more ways.
Edgar cayce gave many thousands of examples of karma at work ,he even told one person who asked to be healed that to cure him of this thing would be to no avail as another would surely come .
As you can see from this statement the man has got to work it off ,this apply to us all and its not just health either that this applies to .Virtually every effect you can name .
All is seen ,all is heard, all is felt.
The wise among you will take the attitude of discovering the areas of service you have to make amends on before effects of ill health reach you whether it be cancer, Parkinson鈥檚 blindness or what have you.
So I strongly advise that you engage in some kind of voluntary work and I believe that virtually everyone should be engaged in some kind of healing practice for others preferably on a daily basis.
how to discover this?Well I suggest you pray to be shown or ask the universe to reveal it to you. reveal the areas which are most suited to serviceJust going along in your life and living for self and not bothering until problems come can be very painful.
It is almost like asking for trouble to come ,.all our healing yours mine is linked right alongside our efforts and contribution to others.in direct proportion to the help we give others ie your healing comes with helping others acheive theirs so if people are doing very little in helping others ---they suffer more and longer...and if they are doing a lot they get well faster....so now you know what to do ,,and like a lot
my daughter was 2 when she was diagnosed but i knew there was something wrong about 18 months old. she has no eye contact didnt like interacting with anyone especially other children her own age she also didnt speak and still doesnt speak also bounces around on her toes alot sensitive to touch (showers were a nightmare) and a number of other things. There is a huge list of symptoms and you can relate alot to yourself but everyone does so try not to worry about it.Autism? Help please.?
I wasn't diagnosed with aspergers syndrome until I was 27. It was picked up in my teens that I was "different" and clearly had problems with my speech/communication and social interaction but they didn't know what it was about so I never got a referral to a specialist. It was only when I went back to university to do a post-grad course and spoke with the disability advisor that they said it sounded like some of my problems might be due to having aspergers and so I looked up info on it and managed to get a referral for assessment. Around the same time I saw an article in the paper about a girl with aspergers and her story sounded really familiar to me in the things that she struggled with and stuff. Sometimes it's down to the individual to be able to ask for help which is annoying as that means it takes ages sometimes for someone to get help.
