trouble adapting when a routine changes.not playing “pretend” games (for example, not pretending to “feed” a doll).trouble understanding other people’s feelings or talking about their own feelings.not looking at objects when another person points at them.having more sensitivity to the way things smell, taste, look, feel, or sound.avoiding eye contact and want to be alone.having more or less sensitivity than other people to sensory input, such as light, noise, clothing, or temperature.
trouble relating to others or no interest in other people.Some signs and behaviors of ASD in children or adults may include:
These behaviors are characterized by varying degrees of differences with communication skills, social interactions, and other patterns of behavior. Not all people will show every behavior, but for a doctor to make an autism diagnosis, a number of behaviors will be present. In some cases, these behaviors show up as early as 18 months. From my experience, I have heard of other eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia a countless number of times during health, but I have never learned about pica until I was diagnosed with it myself last year, with the strange desire of craving mint.ASD is considered a “neurodevelopmental disorder” because behavior patterns and differences in sensory issues and communication skills often appear before the age of 3. In order to fix this issue, pica disorder should be included in the learning curriculum in health class, just like almost every other eating disorder is. I think that if more people knew about pica (eating disorder), majority of people would not be so arrogant and clueless about some subjects. I believe that she was simply backing herself up to the judgmental crowd that believed that she was just rude and irresponsible. Although the letter may have come across as rude to most- personally, I think that the letter was not that brutal or rude compared to how some strangers treated Sammi and her daughter. Overall, I believe that Skye's mother, Sammi, has made a great decision of writing an open letter to the clueless strangers. It even lead to other individuals posting similar situations to the one the irritated mother had to face. I'm sorry she ate the barcode before we paid but she isn't naughty and I am not irresponsible.” After posting her open letter on Facebook, she has received a ton of attention, followed by showering of likes, comments, shares. Pica is a disorder where she feels the uncontrollable need to eat non-edible things. Disregarding that, Skye’s mother, Sammi, decides to write an open letter to the strangers who called her “irresponsible.” She starts out her letter by stating, “To the lady in Paperchase telling me Skye was naughty, I'm irresponsible and I shouldn't give her things before I've paid for them, thanks for your input.
The people stared at Skye and her mother, and they also whispered into each other’s ears talking about how strange they were. In addition, Skye’s mother was also looked down upon not only by the lady, but also by the people on the streets. Nevertheless, Skye’s mother was criticized by a lady in Paperchase telling her that her daughter Skye was being “naughty and irresponsible” because Skye has eaten the barcode of an item before it was paid for. Skye is not just an ordinary young girl she is diagnosed with pica, autism, and hypermobility syndrome, in which includes pain in the fingers, knees, and elbows. Recently, in the news article Mum Of Girl With Autism Writes Open Letter To Strangers Who Called Her 'Irresponsible’ written by Amy Packham, a three year old girl named Skye, and her mother Sammi has received harsh and judgmental comments from the crowd when they decided that they wanted to go out shopping. Whether it be twirling on your hair when you are nervous, or biting on your nails when things are taking slow to load on the laptop, most of us have a habit or a routine that we follow, that others may find as peculiar because they do not know the reasoning behind one’s actions.
