What Autism Is Not and How Play Therapy May Be Helpful
Several misconceptions about autism may hinder people from truly accepting the fact that their child may be autistic. Parents above all would do well to look further than these wrong ideas in order for them to know how to help their children better. Here are just a few of the most common fallacies about autism that a lot of people accept as truth:
- You’ve almost certainly observed this several times in movies of TV shows, but the truth is that not every one of autistic individuals are savants. This myth is most likely based on the fact that a small percentage of autistic individuals do develop a advanced than normal aptitude for some areas; this frequently takes place because autistic children focus excessively on something to the instant of obsession. If you have an autistic child that doesn’t break codes or solve puzzles, don’t be frustrated because this isn’t abnormal at all.
- Autistic individuals are doomed to a life of absolute reliance. As a matter of fact, autistic children have the prospective to become self-reliant, if only they will be given the chance to learn how; this is where early intervention is very important. This means that especially with new methods of humanistic therapy, they can get normal education, they can perform job functions and be good at it, and they can give significant ideas that will benefit society. Sandtray Therapy can help people reconnect to who they really are.
- False impression #3 – Autistic people are not capable of feelings and for that reason cannot love other people. As it happens, autistic individuals seldom hurt people out of malicious intent, but only mostly out of frustration and anger. People with autism are capable of feeling emotion for people with whom they interact on an each day basis; they can get offended, they can be happy, they can love. Autistic children who are in constant interaction with their parents develop a deep union of love and trust with them.
- Autistic individuals have no division from one another in terms of symptoms. One of the major problems in the public school system currently is how to actually attend to the needs of autistic children in particular because a roomful of autistic children is a roomful of different personalities and levels of functionalities. It looks as if that the only widely-shared symptom of autism is the difficulty autistic individuals experience in connecting with other people; other symptoms are diversed.
- Autistic individuals are often unable to focus on social communication and instead focus on themselves, with their awareness being oftentimes obsessive. Play therapy can be helpful in prolonging an autistic child from his or her self engagement bit by bit and in a non-threatening atmosphere. Play therapy can also be very flexible and more accommodating of a child’s exceptional situation; autistic children, such as, have a different play language than other children, so the means to draw autistic children out would be very diverse. Play therapists use games that are turn-based to help the child discover how interaction can help him or her go beyond in the game. Therapists can suggest you on what brand of games will be most effective to your child’s level of functionality.
It’s also very central to keep in mind that parents and guardians play a central role in the development of the autistic child’s social communication skills; therapists will usually encourage parents or guardians to join in on their therapy sessions.
