Rather than addressing people who are born different from us as “abnormal or autistic”, let’s call them gifted people instead of referring to them as special needs people.
Gifted people are definitely the purest soul in this world. Why, you might ask? They’re are the people who only sees the goodness in others but if I am wrong in this statement, then I do apologize about it. Nevertheless, through my experience, the effort that they have displayed in order to become helpful to others is unimaginable when compared to people who are borne normal in their lives.
It is true people who are gifted, are those diagnosed with disorders do tend to lack in experience, but this doesn’t give rights to anyone to call them as being lame nor brainless, due to the shortfall of opportunity that is given to them.
No matter how much of an effort that this country tries to provide for these individuals like autistics people, hearing impaired people, visually impaired people or even people who are silent it is not going to be sufficient at all.
The thing is that sometimes the society can be full of benighted people, who just want to ignore the fact that gifted people should be given the chance just like anyone else. It is natural that we see many movement for different purposes in our life, we have seen the LGBT-Q movement, gender equality movement, woman freedom of voice and speech movement, black life matter movement, to even animal support movement like dog meat trade to protecting reserved forest to all kinds of fights and awareness that you can imagine off.
But, ever noticed any kind of movement that involves the people we are talking about? The answer is on you for today. Because this article, is dedicated in being a voice for them.
Lack Of Understanding
This is result from lack of education or due to people’s ignorant behavior that doesn’t want to care about this following issue. Moreover, this lack of understanding has led to many kinds of accidents between gifted people.
Not all gifted people are blessed like us, when it comes to thinking, reacting or even behaving during a situation. Things can be different. If we are able to say that, then this phrase most definitely applies to the gifted people as well.
Variety of condition has been diagnosed on these people, those diagnosis are vast. Hence, none of this is certain to cause autistic, mental disorder or even due to any dysfunctionality or impairment . Thus, the importance in educating ourselves regarding this matter is vital.
Communication Barrier
Communication barriers are a problem faced by these people in their daily lives. It is either to be completely cut off from the communication aspect or the failure to understand the communication that has taken place.
This is not the situation where we think we can just blame the person who fails to communicate successfully. Yet, this is the time that instead of pointing fingers at others, we take this as an opportunity to learn and get to know about the communication pattern of the gifted people. As much as how people agree on inconsistent type of communication figure, then we all should agree upon that gifted people do have a contrasting way of speaking.
Before moving on, allow me to give you guys a clear picture of the condition that these people are diagnosed with in order to expand your knowledge regarding this matter.
