  1. who do you consider to be a unique individual?
  2. I mean, there are over seven billion people in this
  3. world, but one out of every 54 Children are diagnosed
  4. with ASD, otherwise known as autism spectrum disorder.
  5. Hi, I am Macy Gilly.
  6. And today I'm going to be informing you about the
  7. disorder that not only affects my life but so many
  8. others. Autism spectrum disorder is a development disorder of very
  9. variable severity that is characterized by difficulty in social interaction
  10. and communication and by restricted or repetitive patterns of thought
  11. and behavior.
  12. In other words, this spectrum disorder is the difference.
  13. In a way, a kid's brain develops.
  14. Kids with autism may have trouble understanding the world around
  15. them. What causes autism?
  16. We know there is no one specific cause for autism.
  17. However, research suggests it's a combination of genetic and non
  18. genetic factors such as environmental influences.
  19. There are different types of autism.
  20. The four types of autism are Asperger's syndrome, which is
  21. probably the most commonly known one.
  22. But it's also on the milder end of the spectrum.
  23. The second is P.
  24. D. D.
  25. N. O s pervasive development disorder not otherwise specified.
  26. This has the same symptoms and behaviors as Asperger's syndrome,
  27. but a more at a more severe level.
  28. The third is autism disorder.
  29. Now this also has the same symptoms and behaviors as
  30. P D, D.
  31. N. O.
  32. S and Asperger's, but at a way higher severity level.
  33. This will cause them to need more therapy and more
  34. care. The fourth is Child Disintegrated Disorder.
  35. This is the rarest and most severe case of autism
  36. on the spectrum.
  37. This will probably cause the child will never be able
  38. to independently live in society.
  39. They will always need care providers and tons of therapy.
  40. With autism.
  41. Their behavior is altered.
  42. They don't know how to deal with their behaviors and
  43. their thoughts, and their development is severely lower than all
  44. the rest of them.
  45. But they're they're still smart.
  46. Some of autistic kids are smarter than all of us,
  47. but they don't know how to socialize and how to
  48. bring it.
  49. All together, people have to study to see if they're
  50. smart. Also, their cognitive ability is not the same, and
  51. their psychological attendance in life is way altered because of
  52. this disorder.
  53. To help with this, though, there's therapy.
  54. There's occupational therapy speech therapy, A B, A therapy, social
  55. skills classes, hippo therapy, physical therapy, aquatic therapy.
  56. Now, occupational therapy is when they take everyday life skills
  57. and get the child to use them, such as unlocking
  58. a key or a door with the key or washing
  59. dishes. Now speech therapy is helping with their communication skills
  60. because their development is so low it causes a child
  61. to sometimes have speech defects, so the therapist come in
  62. and help with them.
  63. With that, a B A therapy is when you take
  64. the positive behaviors and the negative behaviors and help them
  65. deal with how to actually behave normally.
  66. Social skills classes, social skills classes takes us the child
  67. out into the real world, where they're not in the
  68. comfort of their own home and gets them to deal
  69. with real world problems and scenarios dealing with people.
  70. Hippo therapy Hypnotherapy is horseback riding.
  71. Yeah, autistic Children seem to sympathize with animals more than
  72. they do with people without the disorder.
  73. So the hippo therapists take how they sympathize with the
  74. animals and try to move that to how they should
  75. sympathize with humans.
  76. Without this disorder, physical therapy, sometimes their motor skills are
  77. just not as developed as ours, so the physical therapists
  78. come in and try to help them with that and
  79. aquatic therapy.
  80. Aquatic therapy is in water swimming in Water Acrobat stuff
  81. like that.
  82. This takes the child to have one goal but also
  83. multi task within that goal, such when you hold your
  84. breath when you're swimming, when you move your arms, kick
  85. your feet.
  86. But then there's also the goal of just swimming.
  87. That's the main task now.
  88. Knowledge is our best quality.
  89. It's our most.
  90. It's our everything.
  91. If you don't have knowledge, you don't have anything.
  92. So with this, when we come to when we arise
  93. to when we approach a person with autism because of
  94. the facts that we've learned will know how to get
  95. them help.
  96. How to get them their best possibilities in life Just
  97. like this.
  98. My little brother has autism, and because I know the
  99. facts on it, I know how to help him.
  100. I know how to get him therapy, and that is
  101. my main goal in showing all this, because I want
  102. them to have their best potential.
  103. So thank you so much for watching I resourced from
  104. all of these sites and books and stuff.
  105. And then also, my mom is a speech doctor or
  106. a speech pathologist.
