Ways to understand Autism
Autistic behaviors are often based on underlying individual differences in self-regulation, perception, emotionality, movement, and relationship skills. This can lead to certain human withdrawal behaviors lead to oneself and a, often presymbolic, sensory-dominated state of mind as a way of being that avoids awareness of the 'other' and thus limits one's own personality development.
When we focus our attention on this, rather than on externally observed behaviors, our approach changes with good prospects for positive progress. This way of being and state of mind can also change if we help the child develop interest in relationships with 'the other' and the world around them.
