Case by Jan Scholten.
Boy, 12 years old, autism.At one and a half years old he completely lost his speech and became autistic. He is mentally underdeveloped, and is unable to handle abstract concepts. He started speaking again when he was three and a half, but he tells only what he wants, there are no dialogues. He can say what he sees but there is no real communication. He can name some of his emotions like being sad which was taught him by speech therapy. But he cannot say why he is sad.
His pregnancy was going pretty well till the seventh or eight month. Then an echo showed a cyst around his kidney which made his mother very upset and stressed. When he was a half year old the cyst around his kidneys was gone.
The labour started by itself but his mother didn't have much power to expel the baby. In the end the doctors decided for a Caesarean section because the waters were green.
He is in a special school with small classes. He likes school and his teacher. He functions pretty well in a group but doesn't make much contact, especially not with other children and strangers. He's not bothered about others. He doesn't remember names of people but knows the names of the children in his class. His concentration is low. Learning is better in one-to-one relationships.
