Facts and myths have always been a part of our acceptance and awareness of Autism. But to help our children who are struggling through Autism, we need to unwrap some myths related to it.

2. Despite the prevalence of Autism, myths and
confusions are still hovering over this disorder.
In New York, schools like Rebecca School for
children with autism are putting their best foot
forward to curb these myths.

3. Andrew Jeremy Wakefield is a British former
surgeon and medical researcher, known for his
fraudulent 1998 research paper in support of
the now-discredited claim that there was a link
between the administration of the measles,
mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, and the
appearance of autism and bowel disease.
Myth #01

4. There are always some positive traits associated
with Autism. But not every child with autism will
become Mozart or Vincent Van Gogh. But they
can all still achieve success if they are given
proper academic as well as other
developmental guidance and training.
Myth #02

5. Children with autism do need isolation at times,
but that doesn’t mean they hate socializing with
others. Autism schools such as Rebecca School
provide a stimulating classroom setting in which
children can bond well with their class mates
over different activities.
Myth #03

6. Autism leads to behavioral management issues
among children which could be resolved with
the priming of specially designed activities.
Discipline is certainly not a dispensing trait for
them.
Myth #04

7. There is no magic pill cure for Autism, however,
receiving specially designed therapies can help a
child suffering from autism live a better life.
Myth #05

8. Instead of looking for desperate treatment
options, parents and caregivers should look for
specially designed programs like the ones
offered by Rebecca School which will augment
their child’s special needs.
