I usually tell strangers I have “mild Autism” but when people hear the word Autism they often automatically think I’m stupid. What could I tell them instead?
One of my friends doesn’t look at me very much when we talk. She may glance at me for about one second then shift her eyes to the corner of the room. But other than this she is very sociable. She has lots of friends. Is there something she may have that is not on the autism spectrum that causes lack of eye contact?
Obviously it is not physichal, but i know that it is classed as a disability. if you were filling out a form and you were given a mulitple choice selection for your disability, what would aspergers be classed as?

Developmental disability on rise in U.S. kids: Why?
New data indicate that about 10 million school-age kids now have autism, ADHD, or another developmental problem
It seems like many people who have children with autism or any type of disability become Christians. All the people I know who have autism or the people who have children with autism consider themselves Christians. Why? Is it because they need hope?
I became a Christian as a child. Then I started to lose faith at 13; the last time I had a strong faith when I was 12. Whenever I pray, I don’t feel God’s existence or Him listening to me.
I have autism, severe learning disability, cognitive disability, anxiety, etc. I’ve been suffering from how society has treated me. I have trouble learning and I can’t do things properly. I can’t hold down a job and I have trouble finding a job. I hate dealing with all the struggles in my life.
I got to admit that if my life wasn’t so horrible and if I never had any type of disability, I wouldn’t have become a Christian in the first place. And I wouldn’t even try to search for God if I didn’t need Him.
If you’re an atheist, what would you tell the Christians with autism or the Christians who have children with autism? Would you tell them to face reality and stop having faith?
Just to let you know, I didn’t come from a Christian family. My parents are atheists and they’re not loving parents at all. They resent me because they don’t accept my disability. If they had a chance to go back in time, they would abort me without a doubt.
I became a Christian when my teacher started to teach me about Jesus and some parts of Christianity.
I have so many questions that can’t be answered. Not even a devoted Christian can give me specific or “enough correct” answers.
Are you seeking solutions to the communication breakdowns and behavior challenges of your students?
Using visual strategies makes a difference. Visual strategies help students focus their attention, understand communication, and comprehend the demands of their world.
Students thrive in environments that provide visual support. Use visual strategies for giving information; establishing rules, and providing the structure students need to be successful.
