Abstract

There are many characteristics discriminate the autistic child from other children. Studies and research have indicated that the most important characteristic of the autistic child is the cognitive disorders, and its consequences, such as the disability of the child to imitate, understand, and create as well as, the significant lack in the social communication and emotional response to the surrounding environment. Cognitive skills encompass various types and shapes which require special care and necessary roles on the part of the family and this heightens the need for analyzing the literature and studies related to these roles. The researchers therefore wrote this research, which aims to demonstrate the cognitive and mental characteristics of the autistic child as well as the difficulties that encounter the autistic child and how to deal with these difficulties in the light of the existing data, theories, research and field studies. The research has been conducted based on two approaches: The inductive approach and the descriptive approach in studying the literature and drawing these characteristics and proposing the necessary roles for them by the family. The research ended with a number of results, including the importance of good listening by the family to the autistic child when speaking, to use multitasking tasks rather than to teach tasks at once, to speak out loud to the autistic child, to help him be related to what is being said, and to use visual symbols to interpret things, especially in social relationships.
