Autism & Asperger’s Playing

January 6, 2015 By Y3K

The reason children on the autism spectrum do not enjoy pretend play is based on how their brains see the world. Pretend play requires putting yourself in someone’s shoes and talking and acting as if you were another person. Children with autism spectrum disorders usually struggle with the ability to see outside of themselves.

Autism / Asperger’s and Pretend Play

January 5, 2015 By Y3K

Watch out for children who do not show any interest in pretend play (such as feeding a baby doll) by about age 2. That is a potential sign of an autism spectrum disorder. If you suspect that your child may be showing some signs of autism, it might be worth getting in touch with a child psychologist Denver CO, for example. They should be able to diagnose the issue and provide treatment options to make sure this disorder doesn’t impact the child’s life. Kids with autism tend to pick games that engage their senses and avoid games that ask them to pretend, a new study finds. Researchers found that children with autism were naturally drawn to activities that get them moving or allow them to watch moving objects. On the other hand, arts and crafts, and games that required pretending were the least popular with these same children.

Organizational Skills Make All The Difference

September 3, 2014 By Y3K

Y3K Tutor In Your Home often receives phone calls and emails by parents all the time asking us to help their students with organizational skills. These skills can be the difference between a poor student and a successful student. Children without organizational skills more often than not, tend to fall behind and suffer with low grades. They have trouble keeping track of assignments and/or constantly losing things.

Over the next several posts we will offer some organization tips just in time for the new school year.

ADHD, Behavior, Anxiety, Depression, & Autism Common?

February 22, 2014 By Y3K

Many more children have mental problems then you would think. According to a finding published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in 5 children or 20% between the ages of 3 and 17 have some form of mental disorder. Here are some interesting statistics showing just how common the top 5 mental disorders are:

ADHD: 6.8% or 1 in 14

Behavioral or Conduct Problems: 3.5% or 1 in 28

Anxiety: 3% or 1 in 33

Depression: 2.1% or 1 in 50

Autism Spectrum Disorders: 1.1% or 1 in 100


If your child suffers from any mental disorder, seek out help right away. Most childhood mental health problems can be improved by giving them the support they need and acting quickly if there is a sign of a problem. Without any treatment or help, most of these mental illnesses will worsen over time. It’s always better to try and seek support when the child, or adult for that matter, starts showing signs of mental illnesses. There are a number of different treatments, such as medicines and therapy options. A lot of adults seem to find that therapy is one of the best ways to get to the bottom of the illness. By talking about the problems, people often find that they can overcome these issues and manage them much more effectively. Perhaps some people should consider visiting a website like https://www.privatetherapy.com/ to see if their services would be useful. Of course, there will also be therapy options for children, so make sure to do some research into that if you think they could benefit from this.

Asperger’s & Autism – Tuberous Sclerosis Connection

November 16, 2013 By Y3K

Up to half of the people with tuberous sclerosis develop autism and the hope is that any treatment that works well against tuberous sclerosis might also benefit others on the autism spectrum. Tuberous sclerosis is caused by one of several mutations in genes that regulate cell growth and strikes about 1 in 6,000 newborns. People with it commonly develop tumors, autism, and/or epilepsy. The hope is that studying this disease may provide new insights into autism.

New Autism & Asperger’s Hope?

November 15, 2013 By Y3K

There is potentially new hope for those with autism and Asperger’s. Researchers are now studying an old drug called rapamycin in clinical trials for a rare genetic condition called tuberous sclerosis complex. This study is drawing attention because the disease often leads to autism. Some have been reported mental advances and dramatic gains from this drug trial.

Check back tomorrow for more on the tuberous sclerosis – autism/Asperger’s connection.

Depression

November 11, 2013 By Y3K

Depression in children and teens is a major problem that is hardly discussed. People are often too embarrassed to talk about it and sometimes in denial. If depression in children and teens is left untreated, it can lead to long-term educational issues, relationship problems, substance abuse and suicide.
