Problems facing young children with autism spectrum disorder

Analytical study

Abstract

The current research dealt with the topic of "Problems facing families of children on the autism spectrum", which is considered by many researchers a topic worthy of attention and that it provides an in-depth understanding about a complex human phenomenon, the autism spectrum, as a special human condition, raises deep questions about the nature of existence and the relationship between the individual and society. At its core, autism reflects the diversity of the human experience, where individuals live in a world that may seem strange or unfamiliar to many. These individuals, who move between worlds of perception and meaning, represent the embodiment of the multiple truths that can exist in human existence. The researcher also proceeded to shed light on the most prominent problems facing families of children with autism spectrum, which stem from the depth of the gap between social and individual norms, embodied in social, psychological and economic problems, as families suffer from feelings of isolation and anxiety, as caring for individuals with the autism spectrum requires a great deal of psychological and emotional support. Complicating the situation is the social stigma surrounding the concept of autism, which is sometimes seen as a defect or deficiency, rather than part of the diversity of human nature.

Complicating the situation is the social stigma surrounding the concept of autism, which is sometimes seen as a defect or deficiency, rather than part of the diversity of human nature. In addition to the economic burdens that may weigh on the shoulders of these families.

Hence, the research emphasizes the need to strengthen social inclusion policies for children on the autism spectrum in both schools and society and to ensure monitoring the progress of the application of laws that protect this group from various phenomena such as discrimination and bullying.
