Recognising Autism

Have you ever heard of Autism? This article will you get an idea what Autism is. There is a range of spectrum from mild to severe in terms of diagnosis. Having Autism doesn't mean they cannot do everything. High functioning Autism, new term from 'Asperger's Syndrome' is a highest diagnosis of the Autism spectrum in the world.

Many days I learned more about myself, it helps my family and friends to learn more about myself too. The action of perspectives is easily challenging for someone on the spectrum. For those who couldn't understand the perspective usually assumptive or actively seeking clarification.

These are some of the things that I learned myself personally on a high functioning side of the spectrum. These points are useful to seek clarification or identify someone who would be on the spectrum. May you may if you are a natural systemiser:
