Disability myth buster - True or false
These days, there are so many ways we can find information: Google, Facebook, Twitter, USQ’s Social Hub, SlideShare… the list goes on! But despite having access to all these fantastic resources, myths, stigma and stereotypes still exist when it comes to understanding disability.
Here at USQ, we think it’s important that everyone is on the right page when it comes to understanding different life experiences in your classrooms, workplaces and relationships, so we’ve put together some true or false scenarios to test your knowledge. Let's bust some myths, stop the stigma and start honest, accurate conversations about disabilities. Did you learn something new?

Overview of autism
The document provides a history of autism including its original use by Bleuler in 1911 and further definition by Kanner in 1943. It discusses research and definitions by Asperger, Eisenberg, Creak, and Rutter that helped characterize autism. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) included autism for the first time in 1980 and further defined pervasive developmental disorders. The DSM-IV criteria require impairments in social interaction, communication, and repetitive behaviors. Prevalence of autism has increased since first measured in 1966, estimated now at 1 in 150 children. Boys are 4 times more likely to be affected than girls.
Autism Spectrum Disorder Le Juan Richardson
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurological condition that affects communication skills and one or more senses. There are five main types of autism: autistic disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, Rhett's disorder, Asperger's syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder. Children with autism often have issues with social interaction, communication, behaviors, and sensory processing. While the cause is unknown, autism is diagnosed more frequently today than in the past and managing it can impact family life.

Autism presentation
Autism is a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior and is characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication. While the specific causes are unknown, it is thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors influencing early brain development. Statistics show that about 1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls are diagnosed with autism in the US, and prevalence has been increasing 10-17% annually. Students with autism may struggle with social skills, focus, organization and processing sensory information. Common accommodations include extra time on tests, preferential seating, and visual aids, while modifications alter the curriculum or grading.
Autism
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. ASD begins before age three and affects each person differently, with a wide range of symptoms from mild to severe. While the specific causes of ASD are unknown, genetic factors likely play a role. Early diagnosis and treatment, especially intensive behavioral therapy, can help children with ASD develop important skills.
Autism
The document outlines a plan for presenting information on autism. It begins with an introduction stating autism is a complex disorder of the central nervous system causing social and communication impairments. It then covers the disorder's history, classification, etiopathogenesis, clinical features, differential diagnosis, course and prognosis, and management. The management section discusses screening, assessment tools, and treatments including educational/behavioral therapies and psychopharmacotherapy.
Autism spectrum disorder (asd) 3
Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are severe neurodevelopmental conditions caused by atypical brain development beginning in early life. Signs of ASDs typically emerge between 12-18 months of age and involve qualitative abnormalities in social interactions and communication as well as restricted, repetitive behaviors. While the causes of ASDs remain largely unknown, genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role. Early diagnosis and intervention can help improve core symptoms, though outcomes vary significantly between individuals.
Autism[1]_PP
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects social interaction and communication. It is caused by abnormalities in brain development before or after birth. There is no single known cause and no cure, but early intervention and support can help people with autism manage their symptoms and live fulfilling lives. Diagnosis is based on symptoms which vary in severity but include difficulties with social skills, communication, and repetitive behaviors.

What is autism?
The presentation provided an overview of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) for faculty at the Rhode Island School for the Deaf. It defined ASD, discussed its core characteristics including difficulties with social skills, communication, and restricted or repetitive behaviors. The presentation aimed to dispel myths about ASD and provide resources for further information. Next steps included identifying classroom needs to focus on for a future professional development session on strategies for teaching students with ASD.
Autism Awareness for Teachers and the Classroom
It is vitally important for anyone who wants to work with children with Autism be aware of how ‘Autism’ is for their clients. The ‘Autism’ world can feel like a literal sensory minefield for those who have this condition and this can mean that day to day living can be confronting, frustrating and difficult. The consultant’s role is to make life more manageable and provide strategies that will assist clients who are on the Autism Spectrum to negotiate day to day living, as well as providing the best training for them to reach their potential.
This slide gives you an introduction to Autism Awareness,
A wealth of experience, research and knowledge has gone into developing this Autism Certification Course to provide you with the skills, training and strategies that can be used in the field, working with children and families who live with Autism.

Marrie, a 24 month old, presented with severe deficits in social engagement including ignoring others and increasing physical distance. She had poor memory, difficulty transitioning between tasks, low self-esteem, and was easily overwhelmed. Doctors noticed delays in language, motor skills, self-care, and sensory processing. Autism is a developmental disorder appearing in the first 3 years, affecting social and communication skills through impaired communication, language, motor skills, and thinking abilities. It has a strong genetic basis and higher prevalence in males.

Autism Essay
Sally, a little girl, sits alone quietly rocking and humming while her classmates play. Her parents notice this unusual behavior and worry it may be more than a phase. After observing her, Sally's pediatrician decides to test her for autism since there are no medical tests to diagnose it. Autism is diagnosed through careful observation by various professionals and affects boys more than girls. While the exact causes are unknown, research links autism to biological and neurological differences in the brain.
Understanding Autism: 10 Fast Facts
Autism is a developmental disability that affects communication and behavior and often appears before age 3. It is the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the US, now affecting 1 in 68 children. While symptoms and severity can vary significantly between individuals, there is currently no known cure for autism. Researchers like Mark Geier continue working to find treatments and cures for autism through various efforts.
Revista ingles
The document summarizes recent discoveries about autism. It discusses that autism is more commonly diagnosed today, affecting 1 in 88 individuals. It also mentions that autistic individuals have higher levels of growth hormones, which may explain their larger head circumference. Additionally, research suggests autistic people are less concerned with what others think of them and have greater ability to process information compared to others. The document also notes some autistic children have distinctive facial features and premature babies have a higher risk of developing autism. Finally, it proposes some autism genes may have provided advantages for hunting and gathering in the past.
Autism in children_final
The document discusses autism in children. It provides an overview of autism including common symptoms like difficulties with social skills and communication. It describes the diagnosis process and "triad of impairments" that autistic children often experience - challenges with social interaction, social communication, and imagination. It also discusses characteristics of autistic children such as love of routines, sensory sensitivity, special interests, and potential learning disabilities. The role of parents and early detection/treatment is emphasized.
Autism Awareness for Social Workers
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects communication and social skills. It is a spectrum disorder, so it affects each person differently. While some with autism can live independently, others require lifelong support. Recent studies estimate that around 1% of the UK population has autism. The exact causes are unknown but genetic and environmental factors are involved. There is no cure for autism but therapies and interventions are available to help with communication, social skills, and managing related conditions like anxiety or ADHD.
10 facts about autism
Autism affects 1 in 88 children and is more common in boys than girls. It receives less research funding than many less prevalent diseases. Autism costs families $60,000 per year on average and impacts social skills, communication, and cognitive development in the brain. While autism is a lifelong condition, it is treatable rather than hopeless.
Autism
Autism is a spectrum of disorders that affect social and communication skills. There are many types of autism with varying symptoms. While it was once believed that autism was caused by bad parenting or vaccines, studies have found no link between autism and vaccines or parenting. Research into autism has increased understanding but autism remains a challenge, especially for adults with autism who receive less support. Current estimates find that about 1 in 150 people live with an autism diagnosis.
