What is Autism?

 

The clinical model defines autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder, as a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the way a person communicates and relates to people and the world around them. It can affect body language and posture, social interactions and relationships, how you engage with your interests, and sensory processing capacities. Autism exists in all cultures, ethnicities, races, and gender identities.

 

While the Public Health Agency of Canada references the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) in classifying autism as a disorder, many autistic people prefer the terms, neurological “difference” or “condition,” which remove the negative associations with the word, “disorder.” Being autistic means that your brain may process information differently than non-autistic, or neurotypical, people.

 

Autism exists on a spectrum, which means that while all people on the spectrum will experience some of the differences mentioned above, the degree to which each autistic person experiences them and the amount of support they need, will vary. This is sometimes influenced by whether the person on the autism spectrum has any co-occurring health conditions. It is also influenced by the accessibility and relative safety of the environment and society autistic people inhabit; a society that we all contribute to and live in.

About Autism Creativity

 

Why is this important? When it comes to children who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, imagination and pretend play can be a challenge for some. Parents or caregivers should have a plan that helps to create an environment where the child is comfortable. Knowing what the child needs to develop socially and developmentally can be a great start. Other practitioners can also help in providing what the child needs to grow. It all starts with doing something. That something could be as simple as adding sensory play during Storytime, providing pretend play items with different textures and weights, etc. Parents know their children best and are more likely to understand their needs and seek support when necessary. Having the ability to nurture and empower the child’s growing imagination can be something that parents and caregivers can do

 

People with autism may show differences in imaginative play and creativity, but it’s important to note that a lack of imagination is not a common symptom of autism. While their expression of imagination might be unique, many individuals with autism have creative ways of thinking.

 Autism can affect imaginative play in children by influencing their ability to engage in pretend scenarios, often resulting in more repetitive or literal play patterns. Challenges in social communication and a preference for routine may contribute to difficulties in spontaneously creating and participating in imaginative play.

People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be really good at certain imaginative things, like having intense interests. However, they might find it hard to think flexibly or understand abstract ideas, showing that imaginative abilities can vary a lot in individuals with ASD.

Parents and educators can help children with autism develop their imagination by creating regular and organized imaginative activities based on the child’s interests. Providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment that encourages creativity, along with using visual aids and sensory elements, can enhance engagement and communication for these children.
