What Causes Lack Of Concentration, Demotivation When Suffering From Autism?

default
Posted on Wed, 24 Dec 2014
Question: I have a really hard time concentrating when reading. I'm very unmotivated. Forgetful. I'm always in my head thinking about what I would do in scenarios that will most likely never happen. Have a hard time speaking in complete sentences. I usually stop half way through a sentence not knowing how to finish it even though I know what I want to say in my head. I only have 3 friends because I feel like no one likes me. Apparently I was diagnosed with Autism when I was a baby because I would never cry.

Hi Sir.


I understand your query and concern.

Childhood autism generally has unfavourable long term effects on the brain growth and pervasive development.

They usually lead to difficulty in reading,and maintaining attention span over the work in which the individual is involved.

Its extremely important that you undergo special treatment in the form of cognitive and behavioural therapy to improve the overall performance related to mind.

The language expression can be improved by training with the speech therapist who is qualified in dealing cases of Childhood autism.

These practices can help to increase your memory and degree of motivation.

Social interaction can also improve with advancement of therapy.
