Mark Haddon penned 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 novel, 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 handicap 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 novel, and Salman is the protagonist.
Salman is a fantastic performer. It has the ability to count all the nations in the globe as well as their capitals. He possesses a photographic memory as well as mathematics and scientific knowledge. He can't reason, appreciate analogies, or react to comedy, despite his great brilliance. He dislikes crowded places as well as people who touch him. People with autistic-savants share both autism and Savant Syndrome characteristics. Autism is one of the most common developmental issues among people with Autism Spectrum Disorders. With difficulties in social, mental, and emotional well-being, this illness is most evident. Savant Syndrome is defined by extremely low IQ combined with a rare form of brilliance in the areas of mathematics, music, art, and memorizing.
Despite what appears to be a difficult challenge of adjusting to and living with autistic children, much has already been studied and published on 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 be effective in changing children with autism's inappropriate behaviors and improving their learning skills. Some people with autism and other comorbid illnesses may require further care, as recommended by their doctors. Because of their dissatisfaction with being involuntarily trapped in their self-protective behaviors, autistic children who also have manic depression may require more therapy than what was previously mentioned. In this circumstance, consulting a psychiatrist is strongly recommended, and additional drugs may be suggested.
Autism has the potential to severely restrict a child's surroundings. They thrive in safety, thus anything that might jeopardize their safety should be avoided. However, many elements, events, and expectations of society make people uneasy, and they are compelled to deal with these most of the time. Unconsciously and unconsciously, children with autism experience worry whenever they encounter something new or unfamiliar to them. When Christopher had to leave his comfortable section of town, he felt physically ill and terrified, just like he had in the novel. Autism patients, unlike normal youngsters, have a difficult time adapting to new environments or situations. The process of learning to comprehend and accept what they didn't know before causes them to become more anxious.
Salman's narrative concluded with him overcoming problems that had caused him undue worry, and his mother returning to care for him. In real life, just like in this fictitious work, coping with tension and anxiety among families who must cope with the disease can be accomplished in the same way. Stress and anxiety among parents and autistic children can be efficiently managed by correct management, medication, or treatment.
