This is based on my studies and research on Autism Spectrum Disorder &#8211; ASD. (Assouline et al., 2008; American Psychiatric<br \/>\nAssociation-APA, 2013; Meleady, et al. 2020; Ministry of Health, 2014; Hirai,<br \/>\net al. 2020; Davidson Institute, 2020, PsychCentral, 2020, among others).<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">It is possible to define autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as a<br \/>\nneurodevelopmental disorder with complex genetics, characterized by compromised<br \/>\nsocial communication and repetitive behaviors and interests (Hirai, et al.<br \/>\n2020; Assouline et al., 2008).<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">It is a myth<br \/>\nto think that the child with autism cannot also be gifted. There may be cases<br \/>\nof children with autism who are also highly skilled in some area (s) of<br \/>\ninterest. This fact is called double exceptionality, when a child has two types<br \/>\nof special educational needs (Assouline et al., 2008; Davidson Institute, 2020,<br \/>\nPsychCentral, 2020).<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">It is also a myth to think that autism can be cured over time, or it<br \/>\npasses with age, as some people think. It is essential that there is a<br \/>\ntreatment based on scientific research as soon as possible to help children<br \/>\nwith Autism Spectrum Disorder &#8211; ASD., In their social interaction, in their<br \/>\nautonomy, among other issues that involve their daily life.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">There are families and teachers who may not value early intervention, but<br \/>\nthe sooner the intervention is performed, the better results can happen! In the<br \/>\nabsence of therapy or if the treatment occurs late, the child is less likely to<br \/>\ndevelop his\/her abilities.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Finally, another myth is to think that only doctors can help children<br \/>\nwith autism. All help is important, especially if it is based on scientific<br \/>\nknowledge. Medical intervention is very important for children with autism, but<br \/>\nit is not the only help they can receive. Due to the wide range of disorders<br \/>\nassociated with autism, it is important that children with this disorder have<br \/>\nthe support of family, school professionals, people from their social<br \/>\nenvironment, at all times.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\"><o:p><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Access and follow!&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Blog: https:\/\/www.educacaodesuperdotados.com\/<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333; font-weight: normal; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">Follow!
