Living With Christopher And Enjoy Your Life and View Nature Of Allah
Mark Haddon wrote an excellent book that became a best seller and won both the Whitbread Book of the Year and Whitbread Novel awards. Mark Haddon himself exclaimed, "Who in the world would want to learn about a fifteen-year-old boy with a disability?", While writing the book. Little did he know that it was the 15-year-old crippled boy who made his book stand out, won awards and sold out. The book is called, "The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time and the boy is Christopher."
Christopher is an autistic-savant. You can list all the countries in the world and their titles. He has a memory of photography and mathematical and scientific wisdom. Despite his extraordinary intelligence, he is unable to think, understand figurative language and is related to humor. And he doesn’t like crowded places and people who touch him. People with autistic-savants exhibit both common traits in those with autism and those with Savant Syndrome. Autism is one of the growing diseases among the Autism Spectrum Disorders group. This condition is characterized by social, mental and communication impairments. Savant Syndrome is characterized by a very low standard of intelligence but an extremely low intensity in the fields of mathematics, music, art and memory.
In the story, Christopher's parents are separated. Her mother has decided to leave Christopher and her father because she can no longer cope with the demands of having an autistic child. Parents who care for special children such as those with autism are more likely to have high levels of depression than most parents. This is because their children have special needs, unusual behavior and different abilities compared to other children of the same age. These children are more likely to find it difficult to communicate, thus, leading to abnormal responses. An example of this is when a child with autism cries for no good reason and starts beating himself up. There may be something that made him feel bad but he can't convey what it is because he doesn't know how. Some autistic children with neurological problems may be hypersensitive or hyposensitive to touch, pressure, movement and noise. They will show certain behaviors that are sometimes difficult to understand such as avoiding certain types of food and drink, congestion or beatings, repetitive movements and shouting. Some of them may indicate strong attachment to certain tasks and fear of new places or people. Accepting the needs and dealing with these children's behavior is not easy and, therefore, can lead to a lot of stress.
Autism can greatly affect a child's world. They thrive in safety, and anything they see that threatens their security must be shunned. However, many factors, circumstances, and social demands make them feel insecure and compelled to deal with this, making them more anxious over time. Unknowingly and unintentionally, children with autism often feel anxious about anything new or unknown in their understanding. As in the book, when Christopher had to walk past an unfamiliar town, he felt sick and scared. Unlike many children, those with autism are unable to adapt to new circumstances or situations. The process of learning to understand and accept the unknown beforehand causes high anxiety.
In addition to what appears to be a difficult task to adapt to dealing with autistic children, much has been learned and published about appropriate management that can reduce not only the anxiety of children but also the pressure on their parents. Certain methods such as Cognitive Behavior Modification, Behavior Modification Techniques and Behavioral Modification Techniques have been proven to be effective in changing misbehavior and improving the learning skills of children with autism.
