Mark Haddon authored a fantastic novel that went on to become a bestseller and win the Whit bread Book of the Year and Whit bread Novel awards. While writing this book, Mark Haddon is alleged to have screamed, "Who on Earth would want to read about a fifteen-year-old child with a disability?" He had no idea that the fifteen-year-old youngster with a disability was the one who helped his book stand out, win accolades, and become a success. "The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time" is the title of the book, and Christopher is the protagonist.
Christopher is autistic and gifted. He can name every country in the globe, as well as their capitals. He has a photographic memory and is a mathematical and scientific prodigy. Despite his extraordinary brilliance, he is unable to visualize, comprehend figures of speech, or react to humor. He also dislikes crowded areas and being touched by strangers. Autistic-savants share traits with people who have autism and those who have Savant Syndrome. Autism is one of the developmental disorders in the Autism Spectrum Disorders group. The main symptoms of this illness are difficulties with socializing, imagination, and communication. Savant Syndrome is characterized by poor overall intelligence combined with exceptional focused intelligence in areas such as mathematics, music, art, and memorization.
Christopher's parents are divorced in the story. His mother left Christopher and his father because she couldn't handle the demands of raising an autistic child any longer. Parents who care for unusual children, such as those with autism, are likely to be more stressed than other parents. This is due to the fact that their children have unique needs, uncommon behaviors, and different abilities than other children their age. These children will most likely struggle to communicate, resulting in unexpected reactions. When an autistic child cries for no apparent reason and begins hurting himself or herself, this is an example of this. Most likely, something has disturbed him or her, but he or she is unable to express it.
A child's environment can be severely limited by autism. They thrive in safety, so anything that could jeopardize their safety should be avoided. However, many elements, situations, and demands of society make people insecure, and they are compelled to deal with these most of the time. Children with autism unconsciously and inadvertently experience worry whenever they encounter something new or unfamiliar to them. When Christopher had to leave his comfortable section of town, he felt physically sick and terrified, just like he had in the book. Autism patients, unlike normal youngsters, have a difficult time adapting to new environments or situations. The process of coming to terms with and accepting what is.
Despite what appears to be a difficult work of adapting and living with autistic children, much has already been studied and published about effective management that will not only reduce the anxiety of the children but also the stress of their parents. Certain techniques, such as Cognitive Behavior Modification, Behavior Modification Techniques, and Environmental Modification Techniques, have been shown to help children with autism change their improper behaviors and improve their learning skills. Other than autism, some people may require extra treatment as recommended by their doctors. Because of their dissatisfaction with being unavoidably locked in their self-protective actions, autistic children who simultaneously suffer manic depression may require more therapy than what was previously described. In this circumstance, consulting a psychiatrist is highly recommended.
Christopher's narrative ended with him overcoming problems that had previously caused him undue concern, and his mother returning to care for him. In real life, just like in this fictitious tale, dealing with stress and anxiety among families who must cope with the disease can be accomplished. Stress and anxiety among parents and autistic children can be efficiently managed through correct management, medication, or treatment.
