Autism

Autism is developmental disorder that has restrictive and repetitive behavior, this disorder’s unique characteristic is that it impairs child’s communication and social interactions skills and ability. Autism is big problem in our world today. In this particular case Henry and Christopher both have autism and each child display the symptom different from the other. In this movie, it really displayed many textbook symbols of this disorder and gave them a face, now I have seen or watched child, young and full of energy yet constrain by this disorder.
In the movie, Henry and Christopher have relatively displayed similar symptom or behavior which is caused by the Autism and it can be said those behaviors are both repetitive and restrictive. For example, Christopher has social interaction problems. He does not like being touch, he is unable to translate or interprets simple display of affection, like smiling, hugging or merely pat on the shoulder or head will tick him off. Christopher showed his skills in math particularly resembling different things may be side or colors and understands prime numbers. On the other hand, Henry has ability to focus on one subject particularly dinosaurs. Both boys live in their own world that stagnate their ability to master simply thing that we took, those of us that does not have Autism, for granted-imaginations and ability to make connection, connecting the dots. They, both Christopher and Henry lack fluency of communications skills compared to their peers. Henry, unlike Christopher, can explain what he feels for each person. Both boys like to play with animals and spend enormous time with, either playing or imagining, that they are playing with animals. The movie was interesting and informative.
I think child with Autism, if discovered or noticed at early age, and given required medical attention such as therapy, the child can lead normal adult life and that is great news. Keeping parents informed about this disorder is one simply ways to curb the pain it could have caused to child in adult life.
