Autism you’r opinion requested.

I was reading an article and I found it very interesting about autistic children. t is autistic children’s inability to sit and participate appropriately in circle time at the tender age of two or three which usually sets them apart as developmentally delayed.In fact, in my opinion, circle time is really a test.
It’s a test of sensory function: can you sit that close to a whole group of other children while they are singing loudly without needing to get away?It’s a test of physical strength and flexibility: can you sit cross-legged on the floor without needing to stretch or stand, for at least ten minutes on end?
It’s a test of imitative ability: can you learn a song and series of gestures well enough to imitate it after just one or two repetitions?It’s a test of social adaptation: can you sit literally knee to knee with two peers without poking them or asking for their attention in any way?It’s a test of learned manners: can you raise your hand when you want to say or do anything whatsoever? And it’s a test of self control: can you manage to squelch your desire to touch, mouth, inquire, or in any other way engage with anything outside the circle for at least ten minutes? Maybe circle time is a good idea. Maybe it’s a solid, reliable technique for separating out the socially and developmentally delayed from the rest of humanity. Maybe it’s a critical first step in teaching the skills kids will need in grade school. Maybe it’s absolutely critical that three year old’s with autism learn to manage circle time. Or maybe it isn’t.
