Video Paper 1 Many children show signs of autism by the age of 12 months to 18 months or earlier. As seen in video one, the adorable two-year-old boy was engaging in stereotypy repetitive behavior, which was walking around hand flapping, being extremely focused on chasing his shadow, not engaging in the adults talking to him. The two year old boy showed typical signs of autism when he walked around hand flapping, which would be considered a type of self-stimulatory behavior. Also, the boy engaged in behaviors, such as ignoring simple instructions made by adults and no eye contact. The CDC stated that boys are 4 times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls, (CDC, 2022) . As shown in the second video, a five-year-old girl with low-functioning autism showed some of the same signs of autism as the two-year-old boy in the first video. The girl in video two was very quiet besides her singing which is a sign of repetitive behavior and lack of communication. A few symptoms that the 2-year-old boy and the five-year- old girl had in common were that they both had difficulties talking and engaging with others socially. I would say that the girl's core symptom is lack of social communication and social interaction difficulties due to her not having an actual conversation with her mom, and the fact that the girl hardly made eye contact. Mom stated in the video's bio that at the age of two the girl had absolutely zero eye contact, made no sounds, and did not respond to her name. She also constantly wanted to rock back and forth and shake items up close to her eyes. As shown in the video the girl changed tremendously she is actually making noises (singing) and making a little eye contact.
Video Paper 2 Video three is a video of a boy in the car engaging in self stimulatory behavior and making noises just like the two-year old boy in video one. The difference between the two year old and the boy in video three is that the boy in video three seems to be more of an anxious feeling due to his constant hand motion and rubbing his chin. Mom states that the music could be the reason for the stimming, but mom also states that she turned the music off but the boy turned it back on. The music could have been reinforcing which could have caused the self-stimulatory behavior (stimming), because towards the end of the video the boys stereotypy slowly calmed down. In video four diana's world as diana was talking and explaining her sensory issues and childhood behaviors diana also constantly moved and rubbed her hands and fingers together just like the boy in video three. They both have a form of anxiety due to certain things that bother them. In the video Diana’s world, Diana was diagnosed with High functioning autism and explained very well about her sensory issues and how they affect her social interaction. So far in all of the videos most of them have difficulty engaging in social interactions. Diana expressed how certain noises, touches and taste affected her but others didn't bother her at all. For example in the video Diana commented “the camera is entirely too close” and you could tell how anxious it made Diana but the squeaky duck didn't bother her at all. So, not all things bothered diana. Diana explained that in her childhood days before school she had to find the perfect rock before ending her search for rocks. That is a repetitive pattern of behavior that Diana engaged in. Video five shows Isabella having a complete meltdown which , as you can see in the video, mom restrains and blocks all ways for daughter to injure herself or anyone else. I would say that Isabella is engaging in the meltdown due to lack of communication and the fact that

Video Paper 3 Isabella is not being able to tell mom what is wrong. Isabella is escalated and in all cases of escalation you should have a de-escalation plan. Mom's de-escalation plan with Isabella is to try and distract her from the tantrum with reinforcing items such as singing, praying, and preferred toys. Although, tantrums are an angry or frustrated outburst, while austistic meltdowns are a reaction to being overwhelmed. A person with autism has no control over their meltdowns, and will not benefit from the normal measures to reduce tantrums like distractions, hugs, incentives to ‘behave’ , or any form of discipline , (Autism Awareness Centre) . While watching video number six, the girl describes the positive things about being an Aspie. What is an Aspie ? An Aspie is a kid with Asperger’s Syndrome. People with this typical syndrome also have difficult social interactions, and they engage in obsessive routines. Children with Asperger’s Syndrome exhibit poor social interactions, obsessions, odd speech patterns, limited facial expressions and other peculiar mannerisms. They might engage in obsessive routines and show an unusual sensitivity to sensory stimuli. (Nationwide Childrens, 2022). Just like Diana in video four she experienced an obsessive routine when she had to find that perfect rock every morning before school. Also when she mentioned that her sensory issues were noises, touch, and taste that would anxiously bother her. In the video the girl mentions that people with Asperger’s Syndrome brains work differently than normal brains; they can see solutions to problems that neurotypicals cannot. Aspies have the ability to focus on what they are doing, she mentions that when they are focused they are well focused. But, when they are distracted they are easily distracted. In conclusion, all of the videos have social communication and social interaction difficulties in common. Each one showed a core symptom of autism. Although each video had
