Autistic Behaviors
August 29th, 2008When most people think about autism behaviors, they immediately remember the movie “Rain Man.” The autistic character in that movie is a pretty low functioning individual. He can not stand to be without a strict routine for even a moment, and can be thrown into panic at the smallest sign of something out of the ordinary. Although autistic behaviors can be that extreme or even worse, many people who suffer from autism have much more subtle patterns that are harder to spot. Nowadays, there is a big drive to put more autism resources in the hands of parents. The reason is simple: schools and parents often miss the signs for months or even years after the onset of autism.
