Autism was discovered by an American Psychiatric named Leo Kanner back in 1943.
Years later a form of Autism was discovered called Autism Spectrum, then
Asperger syndrome. Impact | Volume 19, Number 3 | Autism Spectrum Disorders:
Definitions and Implications | Institute on Community Integration Publications
(umn.edu) In this study I am trying to look at what the difference
and the same with Autism Spectrum.
In many ways, Autism Spectrum and
Asperous Syndrome are pretty much the same in a lot of ways. An asperous syndrome
is now considered as a very old name because the difference between the two are
so small if at all, which is very confusing but understandable. Autism is
considered to be a Spectrum under an umbrella. https://www.healthline.com/health/asperger-syndrome
https://www.healthline.com/health/autism
To try and understand, we need to go
through the levels of Autism, which replace the no longer Asperous syndrome form
of Autism, which is now the Autism Spectrum level. How the person acts, reacts, and expresses ones ‘self.

Dyslexia for eg, before going on, even so people with the same
conditions, etc, may not face the same strengths and weaknesses.
Most people with Dyslexia can be good thinkers, and have good
ideas to put in place of things, that they may suggest whether people consider
them or not. Most people are mostly good at verbal, creative things, IT, etc,
even those who are, are likely to be in different ways such as drawing,
painting, taking pictures, IT, some in maths, some may be in sport but not
necessarily in the same sport, English or both, etc.
Weakness could be planning their work in school, colleges,
work, etc such as an essay, or a job at the same time as everyone else, where they may
need support.
They may face poor concentration where with some things they may struggle to focus
on a lot at once, Multi–tasking, poor Stamina, coordination, self-esteem, etc but they could complete as well as everyone with the right support in place.

forms one way or the other struggle with taking information, comprehension, etc. differences in processing sensory

First of all, why I am writing this
document? I am writing this because every April is Autism awareness, every May
is Mental health month, and disability month is June next month but to me, there
should be awareness of disabilities, mental health, Autism, and more. Reason for
this everyday someone somewhere is likely to discover something new whether it
is them, someone else, etc who is facing ever. To start with in some things a
name is not discovered right aware. It is really unknown to most names of
things why they are named what they are.
What is the difference between
Autism, disability, and mental health? Autism is more a devolvement condition,
never a disability or not mental illness. However,’ Autism can be misunderstood
as a mental illness as many people, such as myself face very high Anxiety
levels, even in some if not most face other mental illnesses with or without
Anxiety on the whole Anxiety can link a lot with Autism. Another condition that is similar to the mental illness Anxiety that can link to Autism is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
ADHD.
Autism, Anxiety, Epilepsy, depression, ADHD Part 2
More than half of people on the Autism
Spectrum have four or more conditions. What they are can vary from person to
person. Everyone who is on the Autism Spectrum faces Anxiety and
Depression in one way or another, which isn't only in people with Autism but other
problems too, and maybe those who face mental health who just face Anxiety and
Depression or and Mental - ill health. That will be honest to say I have no
knowledge about it, but you may get knowledge on other sites as my field is disability, and mental health all problems together awareness.
The common problems people on the Autism Spectrum
face. Before going on some people may get some, two which for all people on the
Spectrum, Anxiety, and Depression. As for the others is likely to be some,
all, etc. There may or may not be many more not listed.

I have just found a site not only you will be
learning from but me as well, in fact, you may or may not know more than me
about this. In fact, this was unexcepted but could come useless for those who
may or even may not have come across it.
You may wonder what this is Flat affect?
It's very understandable you may wonder what I am
on about, it is such an odd name but as crazy as it sounds it is a condition.
Even I was puzzled when I first saw the site. It is a condition that people may
struggle to express their emotions.
They are not able to express whether they are
happy, sad, etc and they show no facial expression.
They have no reaction to verbal
communication.
Signs
No or low emotional expressions on their face.
No or low emotional reaction to verbal or nonverbal
ways.
· Appearance of apathy
- a monotone
speaking voice
- avoidance of
eye contact with others
- little to no
change in facial expressions

Asperous syndrome, ADHD, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Epilepsy,
Anxiety and Depression
( ADHD) is Attention deficit hyperactivity
disorder, which affects construction getting distracted or and disbursed easily,
acting without thinking which may be saying, not saying and not doing, doing
things without thinking about it, without knowing they are right or
wrong.
Finding it hard to sit still, getting anxious, etc.
When most people think of ( ADHD) they think they are always on the go, which is right
but not always the case, this may vary some may calm down and others may go the
complete opposite, which both admit is a huge concern because they never are
what should be in-between, meaning too much angry or no angry at all.
For me, I went from one to the other, had too much
energy as a child and none now but in careers, such as education and work I
always need some support. This can be because I lack concentration, and have
Dyspraxia and Dyslexia as well, which are all part of Asperous Syndrome Disorder
( ASD). https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/attention-deficit-hyperactivity-disorder-adhd/
Dyslexia is a reading, writing, and spelling
problem the person can read, write, and spell but they have problems along the
way. Like getting letters, words, etc the wrong way round. On forms, they may
have the right information but for them in the wrong places. When it comes to
words, letters, sentences, etc in exams and it can lose them as many mark example as much as said someone who cannot read, write, or spell at all,
even though we all know they cannot be supported in exams other than say
someone reading the questions out. However, in some cases, clearer layouts may
help some people, like an easy read, different colors of writing, paper, etc to
their choice what makes it easy for them. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/dyslexia/
Dyspraxia is when a person struggles with movement,
which I have already written many posts on this blog, it can affect energy,
actives, etc.
·
clumsy movements and
problems with organization and following instructions (dyspraxia)
Extra support at school,
college, and universities can often help.

Problems sleeping (insomnia)
Symptoms of insomnia
include:
·
finding it hard to go to
sleep
·
waking up several times
during the night
·
waking up early and not
being able to go back to sleep
Changing your bedtime
routine can often help.
Find out more about sleep problems from
the National Autistic Society.

Mental health problems
Many autistic people have
problems like:
·
feeling very worried a lot
of the time (anxiety)
·
feeling unhappy, irritable,
or hopeless (depression)
·
feeling a need to keep doing
certain actions (obsessive-compulsive
disorder, or OCD)
These conditions can often
be treated with talking therapies or medicines.
