HOW ARE THESE CHILDREN?
The autism is a concrete form of infantile psychosis, which principal symptom is an abnormal or deficient development of the social interaction and communication. An observer has the sensation that a person with autism is indifferent to the reactions of other human beings, so much known as strangers, children or adults. The normal babies show a smile before a mobile human face, special interest in other persons and very quickly they go so far as to share attention (to be interested by that one for what other persons show interest). For contrast, the autistic children show enormous interest in the inanimate objects. They can spend endless hours bottled in ritualistic conducts like contemplating toys that turn. When they interact with adults, which is precise to satisfy his needs, they treat them as objects were going away like taking them the hands to the icebox. The autistic ones do not take visual contact with other persons, and if they do it it seems rather that they look across them.
Another basic symptom of the autism is the linguistic deterioration, which suffers delay and is anomalous. In extreme cases they will be adult with global aphasia (entire restriction of the speech), nevertheless there are cases in which this skill remains almost intact.
These children, on not having intergesticulated with other individuals, suffer from a vast incapability of empathy and of affections.
But the most serious symptoms, which provoke the distaste of other sound such conducts like the intense swinging, blows in the head, random aggressive acts and self-mutilation. Also hypersensitivity and hyperreactivity is observed before sensory stimulation, like shouting, fleeing, wrapping up the ears before the sound of the hoover. The same can happen for a simple hug.
A clear relation exists between autism and epilepsy, which is in certain way the biological synopsis of the hyperactivation and the absence of self-control. A big percentage (70 %) of children with autism will suffer observable attacks.
