Planet Carter: 119

High Functing Autism

People with high-functioning autism or Asperger's syndrome do not have the delayed language development that's typically found in people with autism. In addition, people with high-functioning autism have average or above average intelligence. However, they may show other behaviors and signs similar to what's seen with other types of autism: delay in motor skills lack of skill in interacting with others little understanding of the abstract uses of language, such as humor or give-and-take in a conversation obsessive interest in specific items or information strong reactions to textures, smells, sounds, sights, or other stimuli that others might not even notice, such as a flickering light Unlike people with other forms of autism, people with high-functioning autism or Asperger's syndrome want to be involved with others. They simply don't know how to go about it. They may not be able to understand others' emotions. They may not read facial expressions or body language well. As a result, they may be teased and often feel like social outcasts. The unwanted social isolation can lead to anxiety and depression.

119

I saw a show where a 5 year old saved his mothers life by calling 911. I decided to tell my boys that if something ever happened to mommy and I couldn't they would need to call the ambulance/ 911. they were paying attention...so I thought.
A few days later Coleman fell at the church and busted his mouth wide open. Carter came running in saying CALL 119, 119, help, call 119 !!!!! At the time I was so busy I didn't pay much attention but later I laughed and laughed. If Im ever unconscience I will die.
