In the article, Some Children Lose Autism Diagnosis: Small Group With Confirmed Autism
Now On Par With Mainstream Peers, formerly diagnosed children born with
autism have been see to lose the disease as they grow older. Many scientists
around the world who have been experimenting with the disease for years have
confirmed the study.
Scientists have researched and come to this
conclusion after carefully documenting a prior diagnosis in a small group of
young children and young adults with no current symptoms of the disorder.
Scientists are continuing to analyze data on changes in
brain function in these children and whether they have subtle residual social
deficits. They are also reviewing records on the types of interventions the
children received, and to what extent they may have played a role in the
transition.
I found this article very interesting because
we have just finished studying multiple disorders in class and to find this new
information is quite amazing. Also one of my youngest cousins was diagnosed at
birth with autism and I hope that he is one of these individuals who can
overcome it overtime.
Jack did a great job on his review of the article “Some Children Lose Autism Diagnosis: Small Group with Confirmed Autism Now on Par with Mainstream Peers.” One thing he did well, was choose a topic that we had just finished studying in class. It is always good to connect things back to what you already know. Another thing Jack did well, was he gave enough facts about his article, without dragging on. He gave just enough info for the reader to completely understand the topic. A third thing Jack did well, was give his own personal story at the end about one of his younger cousins being diagnosed with autism. Although his review was good, there are a few things he could to make it better. First, he could have given some statistics about how many people lose their diagnosis of autism. Second, Jack could have given the opinion of a few scientists, as to how these people are losing their diagnosis. One thing I never knew before reading this review, was that people could actually lose disorders. I thought once you were diagnosed with a disorder like autism, you had it for the rest of your life.
ReplyDeleteMy fellow classmate, Jack Redpath, did a great job reviewing the article, “Some Children Lose Autism Diagnosis: Small Group With Confirmed Autism Now On Par With Mainstream Peers.” This article speaks of the uncommon loss of Autism with age. Three aspects of this review that Jack did very well were his use of straight facts from the original article. Jack also had a great overall understanding of his topic and this was easily shown throughout his review. Another thing that I thought was really good in this review was the fact that we had just discussed this topic and its causes in class. This made it very easy for the readers in our class to follow the meaning and subject. There were also a few things that Jack definitely could have done better to improve this review. Jack could have quoted the original article at least once to connect the review to the article and the scientists that have been studying this subject. Jack also could have given actual numbers and other specific things given by the author of the article or by the scientists that study autism. My favorite part of this review was the overall subject and just the fact that there might be a possible cure or way to grow out of autism, a disease that effects many people all around the world.

ReplyDeleteAlthough his review was good overall, there are a couple things that he did not do too well. First, I thought he could have put more detail into explaining exactly what the scientists were doing to examine this phenomenon. I thought it also would have been helpful if he could have defined a couple terms, such as “subtle residual social deficits”.
There were a couple of very interesting things that I learned from this review of this article and the article itself. The most surprising of these things is that Autism can actually be overcome as a person grows older.

There were three things that really stood out to me when reading this review. First I love the way Jack was able to put his own voice in the review, and make it his own. Another aspect of the review I liked was the way he provided his own connection to the topic he was discussing. The last thing that really stood out to me was how he was able to condense his summary to make it easier to understand. There were a couple of things I thought Jack could have done to improve the review a little bit more. First off I thought he could have possibly provided more details from the article.

I had never heard anything about that and it really interesting. All and all I thought Jack did a great job in writing his review.
ReplyDeleteI read Jack’s response to the article, “Some children lost autism diagnosis: small group with confirmed autism now on par with mainstream peers”. This article was about autistic children and how scientists were able to hold studies that can prove that autism can be fixed over time. He did many things well such as the length and quality of the review. There was no part where Jack took parts from the article and put them in without knowing what they were. The whole thing made sense and it wasn’t too long which made it more interesting. Another thing he did well was that he connected this new discovery to his own life. He told us that his cousin was diagnosed with autism and hopes it gets better overtime. The last thing that was done well was the use of facts.
ReplyDeleteThe article review was good however it could have been improved. First off the article was about 2 pages and had more information that could have been included. Another thing that could have been better is including some more facts and being more specific percentages for which autistic people are able to get away from autism.
I was very impressed with this article. I really think that it does have an effect on the world and how it was related to our class. I really got engaged while reading it and was definitely worthwhile.

ReplyDeleteAlthough Jack's review was good, there are a few things he could do to improve his review next time. First off, Jack did a great job on the analysis but did not provide enough detailed or statistical facts. Second, Jack should add a quote from the scientists so the reader can learn the scientists prospective on the topic.
Autism is one of the most common disease that is really hard for the person and their family members. It must be inspiring to everyone who knows an autistic person because of the possible that they can get rid of autism.

ReplyDeleteThe Jack Redpath wrote an insightful review on, "Some Children Lose Autism Diagnosis: Small Group With Confirmed Autism Now On Par With Mainstream Peers." Through this review, light is shed on the generally unknown topic of autism development. I feel the writing style is clear, easy to follow, and understandable. The content was basic and provided the reader with a simple understanding of the information. Also the author connected the article to his own life. This section makes the review feel more personal. Overall the article used correct grammar, but I did find a few spelling errors and spacing issues. Also the facts from the article were very general. The review used little specific statistics and did not include many names of people who are aiding in the study of the topic. I was shocked when I read that previously diagnosed autism patients could have a chance to make a recovery. This is so amazing because I am overwelled with the joy of thinking about people who could have their lives changed through recovery. This review was done well and is very engaging to read and enjoy.

ReplyDeleteHowever, he could have done a better job explaining the specific experiments or stating the stastic that was used to test the theory been stated. Also he could have elaborated a little more on the info that was n article.

ReplyDeleteAs much as this is an informative article, there were a few flaws. Jack could have explained the research process much better. For example, he could have given us information on where this study was specifically being done or what type of scientists it was being conducted by. In addition, he could have given us statistics of how many people lose autism over time because then, I could get a better perspective of this study and if the conclusion is valid.
Overall, it is great that somebody cares about this disease and to provide us with astonishing information in relation to the topic!
