After reading through all of my blogs I have done this quarter I have noticed I have done a lot about the impact this has on families and also many facts about autism on general. Thinking about all of this makes me wonder how autism emotionally affects a person. Disabilities can have a huge emotional effect on people and especially with young children because they are seen as being different from the other children. Young children dont always understand that everyone isnt the same and they dont quite know what it means to have a disability such as autism. After browsing a few sites on the web I found some interesting information about how autism emitonally affects someone.
Depression is a major affect of autism. When a person has autism they have a very unique behavior that they sometimes are the only ones who understand why they do the things they do. Also they may have difficulties interacting with peers because their language development is behind. These issues can be very hard on a person and can cause them to have depression issues. As a young child this has to be especially hard. At a young age children are making friends and starting their life. When they are seen as being different they may feel like others dont accept them. As an upcoming teacher I want to edcuate my classroom that not everyone is the same. Out differences are what makes us unique people.
