  • Christopher's Father As An Autistic Father

    2075 Words  | 5 Pages

    How far would a parent go to ensure the comfort of their child? What if the child had a mental disability? Children with autism can be difficult to deal with and it can be easy to misconstrue a parent’s intentions toward their disabled child. According to Petra Kuppers’s essay “Dancing Autism: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime and Bedlam,” an autistic child has a, “distanced view of the rules that make up love, relationships, need, and care,” and therefore can be more challenging to raise (Kuppers 193). Christopher is one such example of an autistic child. In Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Christopher’s father is portrayed in a negative light, but actually proves himself to be an outstanding father.

    Giving others who do not suffer from autism or caregivers an insight on how the individual may be feeling and what they are going through. This book can also help numerous medical professionals such as speech-language pathologists and pediatric doctors. As Grandin stated in the book that not all sufferers act, think, and feel the same so this novel may not be beneficial to readers who are looking for information on a wide scale of individuals who suffer from the illness. She also stated that there is no cure for autism, however some medications can help with some symptoms such as depression or anxiety. What intrigued me the most about Grandin was that she never gave up and worked on her social skills. Not only did she became a spokesperson for autism, but also became a professor at Colorado State University in which both require public speaking and being comfortable in front of people.

More than 3.5 million Americans have some form of the disorder, although autism only takes up 1 percent of the world (‘Facts and Statistics’).

Autism robs children and adults of the rights they have to walk, talk, and think like normal humans do every single day. My personal experience with autism showed me what the condition

  • The Wild Child Analysis Essay

    1410 Words  | 3 Pages

    This is important to note due to the explanation it helps give for why Victor acts the way he does and struggles to learn. It also explains why he can’t analyze people’s facial expressions, since the part of the brain, the amygdala, that helps in facial recognition is under active in autism patients. Also the following, “ Stereotypical behaviours such as echolalia, twirling, rocking, flicking and hand flapping... act as self-calming strategies for children with autism. Despert (1965) interpreted common obsessive behaviours as defences against the overwhelming anxiety experienced by children with autism,” are signs that are mentioned by Alinda, Furniss, and Walter in the journal article entitled “ Anxiety in High Function Children with Autism.” These signs are actually presented by Victor in the film The Wild Child. For example the first instance in which this acknowledged is toward the beginning of the film (time: 21:00) when Victor is being observed and he keeps rocking back and forth. Another instance in which we can note signs of Autism is when a key is misplaced (time: 52:00), and Victor keeps putting it back in its proper place, thus showing obsessiveness mechanism of Autistic children, which is seen as coping. As a result these circumstances show that the effects that Autism has on his brain affect the actions in which he
