[QUOTE="buddy, post: 477615, member: 12886"] That is not my understanding, i am not an neurologist though. My understanding is that it is a neurological disorder. They recently found associated genes and I have read articles about structural brain commonalities (like a smaller hippocampus which is involved in emotional regulation and moving short term memories to long term memory). Since people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) do not process information in a typical way, they [I]may[/I] become overwhelmed, frustrated, anxious, seek or avoid sensory input, etc. they (generalities here, obviously there are individual differences) tend to have pretty rigid thinking and so if that is upset (like transitions, routines, change in plans, rules that are broken, having a plan for how something should play out/others dont follow their plan...etc.) there is naturally a reason to be upset. Autism in and of itself is not an emotional disorder (though long ago they thought that maybe it was due to "refridgerator mothers" who were cold and not bonding with their kids.) This is obviously not the case and we know now that it has a neurological basis. Of course, people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are people first, so clearly they have the right to develop mental health disorders, have a genetic disability or disease, be hurt in accidents and have brain damage on top of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).... just like the rest of us, smile. And some kids are just that lucky. that is my casual take on it. I am sure we could do a research review and get more scientific information. I am just sharing my view of it. It seems from your post, and please correct me if I am wrong, that there are people who maybe dont buy that your difficult child has autism and/or that due to his medical condition, difficult child has a more challenging time controlling metldowns and outbursts???. It can be frustrating to try to explain to people. I think some times I feel like explaining and other times I think, who cares, it is none of their business. I feel like saying, hey you think this is hard for [I][U]you[/U][/I] to be around? Try being [I]him[/I]! This may not be of any help, but I wasn't totally sure I understood the question, just gave it the old college try, smile! Hope other wiser folks will chime in... [/QUOTE]
