Adult autism is slowly becoming a way of life for many elderly people. People with adult autism have to necessarily learn to live with the problem and endure all the associated
inconveniences.
In fact many of people afflicted with adult autism are not bogged down by the condition itself but by the treatment meted out at them by the society in large and such unconcerned behaviour make their life miserable.
Today there is an urgent need for studying and learning about adult autism by everyone, not only by the people who are diagnosed with the disorder, but also by all people for creating a social awareness. By gaining a good knowledge, we
can be of much help to the people with disorders such as adult autism for which there is no cure. After all, are they not our fellow counterparts and deserve all the attention that every one of us is in need of?
Do not Denounce it as a Curse
Despite the inconvenience, many people still doesn t consider adult autism as a curse. In fact, many people enjoy being autistic as they take the condition in their stride and learn to accept the stark truth and to live with it.
Those people also take this opportunity to show their will power in fighting the nature s whip and their capabilities to express their inner strengths in coping with the difficult situation. They expect other people to treat them in a normal way.
People start to get adult autism in a slow process and by the time they recognise the problem they might have lived with the condition for quite some period.
The main difference between a person with an adult autism from that of a normal person is that the adult autism afflicted person s conceive the world little differently, say that heir brains process the information and responds differently despite their all the five senses behaving normally.
Autism is a condition where in the affected person s brain processes and interprets information quite differently from that of any normal person and hence few experts opine that autism can cause certain detrimental effects such as tantrums and fits. People with autism are always anxious and that also will add up to their already weird behaviour.
Weird and Profound Senses
Many people afflicted with adult autism will display a weird or eerie behaviour and will have uncontrollable senses meaning that they will fail to differentiate between hot and cold condition, whether they are feeling hungry or not.
Few autistic people may be highly sensitive to bad odour or a loud noise and they may even dislike or indifferent to affectionate hugs or touches that makes them very unusual in the eyes of other normal people.
People with adult autism find it very difficult to move freely or socialise with general public and such behaviour makes it important to get them taught for participating in social functions and encouraging human contacts.
Besides educating the people with adult autism, it is equally important to teach and train normal people as to how to deal with people with autism and assist them to lead a near normal life. After all each and every one of us deserve equal rights and a just treatment.
