Kiernan at UTAP workshop
According to a recent article written in TheTimesOfIndia , children with autism have only one type of laughter. The article goes on to state that neuro-typical, or children without autism, have two types of laughter.
As the parent of 6 children, 5 with Autism, I have noticed different laughs from all of our children. From very high pitched laugh from our oldest daughter, to a laughter that comes out of nowhere from our youngest son. Giggles occur often in our home and I am very happy for that.
I do not understand the reasoning behind the study of laughter in autistic children. I would assume they are trying to find any differences in children who are neurotypically developing and those who have developed autism.
As a mother, I am thrilled beyond belief when I hear any of my children laughing. My focus is not on what type of laughter it is, but that something has made my child happy. Isn't that what any parent wants ?
