RE: Understanding Autism: The Spectrum and Diagnoses.

in #psychology7 years ago

Interesting. I think that they are higher on the spectrum in some respects. It's that concept of if the brain is deficient in one area, it is stronger in another. One of the boys at my church got all A's on his report card, this is the one who is more functional than the other. But the other child, who seems to have a pretty severe case of autism, we heard singing, in tune. His mother always brought him to choir rehearsal with her, and one day we heard him singing one of the songs. It was pretty amazing. Makes us really question what is reality.
