[25 marks]
Read this passage and then answer the questions that follow.
1 When Chelsea went over to her friend, Sharons house, she saw her Mends four-year-old
brother, Ivan. Hi, said Chelsea.
Ivan looked at Chelsea and said nothing and turned back to his toy.
1 dont think your brother likes me.
2

Its not your fault, explained Chelsea. My brother has autism.

What is autism? Autism is a development disorder that some people are born with. It is not a
disease that you can catch or pass on to somebody. It affects the brain and social skills such as
communication and interacting with others.

3 As a result, autistic people are slow at developing language, instead, preferring to spend time
alone and not showing interest in making friends. Another symptom of autism is what experts
call sensory overload. Sounds seem louder, lights, brighter and smells, stronger. However,
not all autistic people are retarded mentally. There are some with average or high intelligence.
4
Autism is not treated like a conventional disease even though medication may be prescribed to
control certain symptoms like aggressive behaviour or attention problems. People with autism
are taught skills that will help them do things that are difficult for them. The best time to get
treatment is when they are very young, as soon as they are diagnosed. This is usually around
the ages of one and a half to four. The most effective form of treatment is however, special
educational programs that are tailored to the childs individual needs. The programs involve
breaking down barriers to communication using pictures or sign language. Basic language
skills such as how to cross a street safely or asking for directions are taught. Treatment might
also be a combination of therapies such as speech, physical, musical, occupational, hearing or
visual therapies. Sometimes, changes in diet and medication may be necessary.
5 By the time they reach their teens, people with autism may be attending regular classes with

normal people or attending special classes because of behavioural problems. As teenagers,

they may interact with others quite differently because their brains process information
differently. As a result, they can have trouble talking properly and use gestures instead of
words. Some are withdrawn; do not make friends easily and do not react to social cues like a
smile or scowl. They often do not make eye contact when you talk to them. Hence, they may
find it hard to join a group or an activity. Besides, they might draw back when hugged or they
may be startled by a sudden noise.
As teens, they can also show extremes of behaviour. Some are passive and withdrawn while
others are overactive, show tantrums or act aggressively when they are frustrated. This is part
of the disorder. Many of them have intellectual limitations and learning problems. They do not
know how to express emotions like anger or frustration in acceptable ways, so they are often
misunderstood. They have difficult coping with changes and get anxious if their daily routine is
changed. In some cases, they might show repetitive motions like rocking or flapping their
hands. Although they can feel emotions, they do not express them in the same way as others.

As a result, they often come across as cold or unemotional. Autistic people need a lot of
patience and understanding and support from the people around them. This is because they
cannot be expected to behave in the same way as normal people.

IN THE MIDST OF HARDSHIP

At dawn they returned home
their soaky clothes torn
and approached the stove
their limbs marked by scratches
their legs full of wounds
but on their brows
there was not a sign of despair
The whole day and night just passed
they had to brave the horrendous flood
in the water all the time
between bloated carcasses
and tiny chips of tree barks
desperately looking for their sons
albino buffalo that was never found
There were born amidst hardship
and grew up without a sigh or a complaint
now they are in the kitchen, making
jokes while rolling their cigarette leaves
By Latiff Mohidin Translated by Salleh Ben Joned
