Currently there is no cure for Autism Spectrum Disorder, but there are different treatments available that can help with behavior, communication, social skills and other symptoms to help manage symptoms.
Children with ASD may experience difficulities in school. Autism in the classroom is can be hard for instructors, the child and the parents to deal with.
Research has found that fatty fish such as salmon and free-range eggs share healthy omega-3 acids. Foods that contain omega-3s help fight inflammation in the body.
One common treatment for children with autism spectrum disorders is aquatic therapy or hydrotherapy. These therapies use water immersion to achieve therapeutic gains that may be too difficult for a child to attain through land-based physical therapies.

Deficits in communication and gross motor skills are also a problem. People with ASD may not share the same issues. Their issues may lead others to think they cannot perform their duties. They may be labeled because of their diagnosis, looked upon differently, and not allowed to be successful in an area where they may excel. A young man that graduated high school earned a college degree, and is now employed was asked about some challenges he faced throughout his academic years and employment. He said that he met the following issues.
Some people may look at their challenges and assume they cannot perform their assigned duties.
Intervention:Â Provide one-on-one assistance with the employee to bridge the gap with others. Having a diagnosis of ASD doesn’t mean that the person is incompetent; they must work harder to get the same results as others.
It may not be easy. Some positions require one to be able to multi-task.
Intervention:Â Establish a work pattern with a supervisor to allow employees to complete tasks on time. They tend to do things in a particular order. Helping to establish a routine will allow them to achieve their daily goals on time.
Social isolation is not a term that adolescents and adults with ASD do not understand.
Intervention:Â Do not belittle the employee. If they’re making a mistake or lack understanding, work with them alone to assist in the clarification of their job duties.
Again, social skills or a lack of social skills play a big part in the life of someone with ASD.
Intervention:Â Provide the employee with a responsible trainer with a heart for helping others. The employees’ schedule should reflect that of the trainer. It’s best to limit the number of employees the employee needs to report to for consistency and clarity. It also helps them bond and develops trust if other issues arise.
It is essential to educate people on the job (without violating HIPPA) to be aware of things they can and cannot do around people with ASD.
Intervention:Â EDUCATION! EDUCATION! EDUCATION! For example, if the employee doesn’t like physical contact, such as shaking hands or doesn’t make eye contact, others must know, so they will not assume that the individual is rude and create a hostile work environment.
Training may take more time and may require individual training as well.
Intervention:Â The employee must have all the necessary tools to do their job regardless of anyone’s opinion. It is up to the employee to determine what they can or cannot handle.
Because a person has Autism does not mean they cannot have the career of their dreams. Everyone has gifts and talents and should have an opportunity to use them.
Intervention:Â Everyone should have the same opportunity for advancement as the next person. If someone can do their job and have a good record, there is no reason they shouldn’t have the chance to be considered for a promotion.

Individuals with Autism may be assigned to less significant areas of the company because lack of awareness, and management may see them as “slow” and become frustrated. Autism is a personal and confidential matter and must be respected. However, to ensure that our members are successful, we will share information without violating HIPPA. It is not common for Human Resources to be directly involved with employees as they perform their daily job functions.

I have Autism Spectrum Disorder known as Aspergers. I knew that I was different at a very young age. Probably before my parents. I had medical appointments for years, and each time we left, it was without the answers needed. They thought I was either ADD or ADHD. I didn’t have behavioral issues nor was I hyperactive. I was respectful, obedient, kind to others, and articulate.
I did have repetitive behaviors, lacked social skills, limited eye contact, no one could be in my personal space, and wanted to be alone. I enjoyed watching old Batman, Superman, and Godzilla movies, to name a few. I remember running through the house wearing my Batman cape and jumping from the top bunk to the floor making different sounds like 
, 
, and 
over and over. I had challenges with things that should be easy or come naturally, such as catching and throwing a baseball, bouncing a basketball, and smiling. No matter how many times I needed assistance, my parents were supportive.
When I mastered a task, I could move to the next one. Smiling was the most challenging. My mom wore me out practicing at random. I finally stepped out of my comfort zone and made friends with my neighbors. They accepted me immediately and we spent a lot of time together. A few years later, we moved but stayed in contact. After transferring to schools, I was introduced to a new physician. He spoke with the family rather than with me alone. A plan was put in place that included medical testing. After several visits, I finally received an official diagnosis. I was relieved to know what I was experiencing and could see bricks fall from my mom’s shoulders as she relaxed. She blamed herself for years because this was something that she couldn’t fix. My parents didn’t treat me differently; they made adjustments where needed. I have the best little sister in the world. She is protective and always has my back.I wanted to have friends in school. I think that if you treat people right, it would be reciprocated. That didn’t happen, but I made a few friends. I remember thinking I had a lot of friends when my peers learned of my birthday party. I was excited, but those plans were stopped quickly. I didn’t understand until my parents had a heart-to-heart conversation with me. That is when I learned the difference between a friend and a foe. I developed real friendships when I got to high school and joined the soccer team as the team manager. My ASD didn’t bother anyone. As a matter of fact, everyone, including my coaches, treated me like family. Everyone made sure that I was OK and was available if I needed assistance. I earned my team jersey and was given the opportunity to play in a game. I was pretty good at it, I have to say. We won that game. This gave me the confidence to try other sports.  I have progressed to a Red belt in Tae Kwon Do. I hope to earn my black belt soon.I graduated high school and earned a college degree. This is because I have a strong and healthy support system. Functioning with autism is a daily challenge. As a community, let’s stay connected. We can create a strong support system for each other if we work together.
God Bless,
Preston
