Chapter 182 - Florence

The anger Helios was feeling was written all over his face and he was about to explode . Aria noticed it right away and tried to calm him down but it was useless .

' Dealing with boys is such a headache , especially when one of the boys is this blonde donkey ! ' thought Aria with an annoyed expression . 

Aria looked at the two of them who were determined to argue with each other and entered between them . 

" Can you two stop this discussion already ?! The person who actually suffered is I and the ones discussing in ana ngry way are upu two . I can understand your feelings Florence , you're my friend and you're worried about me but I don't want anyone to fight . " aaid Aria with a serious tone . 

Helios and Florence looked at each other in an annoyed way then took a step back . 

Aria looked at Florence and made a sign with her eyes . From Aria's action he could understand her worries . 

' She's clearly telling me to back down and stop arguing with him...Why ?!.... ' thought Florence a bit annoyed . 

Aria looked at Helios in a serious way then looked at Florence again . 

" Florence , I understand the meaning of uour words but.....president Castejo isn't at fault this time . I decided to do those dangerous action out of my own free will . I actually owned him a favor and now that we are even I feel better . " said Aria with a serious tone .

" Are protecting me ?! " asked Helios with a satisfied smirk and looking at Florence in a victorious way . 

Florence felt like really angry when he saw that Aria was protecting Helios . 

" Of course not president ! Please don't say miscalculations ! I am only returning you the favour you did for me . " said Aria with a serious expression . 

" Favour ?! " asked Helios a bit deluded . 

" Yes ! I have said to you before that.....I will mever own anyone anything ! That means that everytime someone does me a favor , I will always pay them back . I hate owing others the most ! " said Aria with a calm yet polite tone . 

Making clear the fact that she helped him because she owes him , not because she thinks of him in a special way . 

Aria's words made Florence smile in a relived way . Now that Aria had been clear about her actions , he smiled at her in a warm way . Helios tried not to give himself away and surpassed his anger . 

' I cannot let these two fight ! If Aden sees them , he will be scared... !....Now that I think about it....What is this blonde donkey doing here ?! ' thought Aria with a serious expression . 

She looked at Helios from head to toe and noticed that he wasn't wearing his usual formal outfit . He was wearing a whiye shirt with black pantaloons and grey trainers . 

' I have never seen him so casually before.....He looks really nice in these clothes too...What am I thinking ?! I must still be under the effect of the medicine they gave me at the hospital.....He is handsome and this cannot be denied but...Why the hell do I think he looks quite attractive ?!.....Come back to your senses Aria ! ' thought Ari awith a confused and troubled expression . 

" By the way.....why are you here president ?! I remember you saying that I had a week vacation with paid leave . " said Aria confused and tried to hide her slightly blushing cheeks . 

" I....I came here to visit you . Since you helped me so much , it's the least I can do for you . I brought you a basket of chocolate . "  said Helios with a non neutral tone . 

As soon as Aria heard the word chocolate , she smiled in a happy way .

" Thank you president Castejo ! That was very kind of you ! " said Atia with a smile . 

" I left the basket at the table near the entrance .

Aria went towards the entrance and Helios followed them . When they arrived they , Aria remained shocked when she saw that the basket was in the floor and Aden's cheeks and hands were filled with chocolate cream . 

" Dada !!! " said Aden with a bright smile . 

" Aden ?! " said Helios with a weird smile . 

Florence and  Helios looked at Aria who was still in a shock then looked at each other in a confuses way . 

" Aden ! " said Aria with an angry tone .

" Dada ! " said Aden scared when he saw his sister's angry expression . 

Aria rushed towards him with an angry expression . Helios and Florence looked at each other and slightly laughed while looking at Aria going after Aden in a childish way . 

" She's so childish ! " said Helps with a light laugh . 

" I also agree with you ! " said Florence with a smile . 

They continued to look at them with a smile . Helios saw that Aria was trying to make Aden play a bit when he saw the smirk on his face . He looked at Aden then looked at Florence .

" Hey ! " said Heloos and Florence turned his head towards him . 

" You are a doctor ! Right ?!.....Can you tell me a bit more about Aden's illness . " said Heios with a painful expression when he looekd at Aden . 

" Autism is a developmental disordercharacterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. Parents often notice signs during the first three years of their child's life. These signs often develop gradually, though some children with autism experience worsening in their communication and social skills after reaching developmental milestones at a normal pace. " said Florence with a serious tone . 

" What about it's characteristics ?! " asked Helios again .

" Autism is a highly variable, neurodevelopmental disorder whose symptoms first appear during infancy or childhood, and generally follows a steady course without remission. People with autism may be severely impaired in some respects but average, or even superior, in others. Overt symptoms gradually begin after the age of six months, become established by age two or three years and tend to continue through a.d.u.l.thood, although often in more muted form. It is distinguished by a characteristic triad of symptoms: impairments in social interaction, impairments in communication, and repetitive behavior. Other aspects, such as atypical eating, are also common but are not essential for diagnosis. Individual symptoms of autism occur in the general population and appear not to associate highly, without a sharp line separating pathologically severe from common traits. " said Glorence with a serious tone .

' Wow this guy sounds like a computer !' Thought Helios amazed and he started to realize why they called him genius . 

" No cure exists for autism spectrum disorder, and there is no one-size-fits-all treatment. The goal of treatment is to maximize your child's ability to function by reducing autism spectrum disorder symptoms and supporting development and learning. Early intervention during the preschool years can help your child learn critical social, communication, functional and behavioral skills.

The range of home-based and school-based treatments and interventions for autism spectrum disorder can be overwhelming, and your child's needs may change over time. Your health care provider can recommend options and help identify resources in your area.

If your child is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, talk to experts about creating a treatment strategy and build a team of professionals to meet your child's needs.

Treatment options may include:

Behavior and communication therapies. Many programs a

Behavior and communication therapies. Many programs address the range of social, language and behavioral difficulties associated with autism spectrum disorder. Some programs focus on reducing problem behaviors and teaching new skills. Other programs focus on teaching children how to act in social situations or communicate better with others. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) can help children learn new skills and generalize these skills to multiple situations through a reward-based motivation system.

Educational therapies. Children with autism spectrum disorder often respond well to highly structured educational programs. Successful programs typically include a team of specialists and a variety of activities to improve social skills, communication and behavior. Preschool children who receive intensive, individualized behavioral interventions often show good progress.

Family therapies. Parents and other family members can learn how to play and interact with their children in ways that promote social interaction skills, manage problem behaviors, and teach daily living skills and communication.

Other therapies. Depending on your child's needs, speech therapy to improve communication skills, occupational therapy to teach activities of daily living, and physical therapy to improve movement and balance may be beneficial. A psychologist can recommend ways to address problem behavior.

Medications. No medication can improve the core signs of autism spectrum disorder, but specific medications can help control symptoms. For example, certain medications may be prescribed if your child is hyperactive; antipsychotic drugs are sometimes used to treat severe behavioral problems; and antidepressants may be prescribed for anxiety. Keep all health care providers updated on any medications or supplements your child is taking. Some medications and supplements can interact, causing dangerous side effects.

Managing other medical and mental health conditions

In addition to autism spectrum disorder, children, teens and a.d.u.l.ts can also experience:

Medical health issues. Children with autism spectrum disorder may also have medical issues, such as epilepsy, sleep disorders, limited food preferences or stomach problems. Ask your child's doctor how to best manage these conditions together.

Problems with transition to a.d.u.l.thood. Teens and young a.d.u.l.ts with autism spectrum disorder may have difficulty understanding body changes. Also, social situations become increasingly complex in adolescence, and there may be less tolerance for individual differences. Behavior problems may be challenging during the teen years.

Other mental health disorders.Teens and a.d.u.l.ts with autism spectrum disorder often experience other mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression. Your doctor, mental health professional, and community advocacy and service organizations can offer help.

Planning for the future

Children with autism spectrum disorder typically continue to learn and compensate for problems throughout life, but most will continue to require some level of support. Planning for your child's future opportunities, such as employment, college, living situation, independence and the services required for support can make this process smoother.
