23 Autistic Geniuses in the World
Idiot or Genius \ x0d \- Asperger's Syndrome \ x0d \ Van Gogh, Newton, Einstein, Bill Gates \ x0d \ x0d \ Asperger's Syndrome, like autism, has attracted more and more attention from parents and scholars. Recently, Michael FitzGerald, a professor of psychiatry at Trinity College in Dublin, came to Guangzhou. The authoritative expert in the field of autism told many families of children with Asperger's syndrome in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University that to some people, these children look like idiots, but in fact, many children have creative talents, even geniuses. \ x0d \ x0d \ hyperactive and unsociable, 90% of children don't know how to communicate \ x0d \ x0d \ Asperger's syndrome (hereinafter referred to as Asperger's syndrome) is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder, with some characteristics similar to autism, such as interpersonal barriers, rigid interests and behaviors. \ x0d \ x0d \ Zou Xiaobing, director of the Children's Developmental Behavior Research Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, said that hyperactivity, poor academic performance and unsociable are the most common complaints of children with Asperger's syndrome. The highest incidence of symptoms and behaviors are communication disorder (94%), repetitive rigid behavior and narrow interest (89%), followed by disobedience and lasting memory. \x0d\\x0d\ Many parents will go to see a doctor because their children are hyperactive. Jia Jia's mother told the doctor: "My son has been a little abnormal since he was three or four years old. People who don't know him say that he is a' genius' with a good memory and is particularly interested in mathematics. He did show some talent. But his personality is very strange: he likes to talk to himself, moves too much and can't control himself. Although I am now a third-grade primary school student, I have poor interpersonal communication and am not very gregarious. Few students play with him. " \ x0d \ x0d \ Children with Asperger's syndrome give parents and teachers the impression that they are self-centered, naive, distracted, emotional, intelligent and strange. Zou Xiaobing believes that clinically, such children don't know how to start communication, they don't understand other people's feelings, their needs and desires, and they lack communication skills and don't know how to communicate. \x0d\\x0d\ Being lonely inside doesn't mean being unintelligent \x0d\\x0d\ Autism and Asperger's syndrome can't be completely distinguished. Michael FitzGerald pointed out that unlike autism, visually impaired people have no obvious language and cognitive impairment, their intelligence is normal, and even a few visually impaired people have some extraordinary talents. \ x0d \ x0d \ The most special thing about children with Asperger's syndrome is that they have a "special hobby", which is often manifested in their memory of numbers and their keen interest in certain subjects, such as mathematics, history, geography, transportation, climate, aerospace, etc., and sometimes gives people the impression that they have a good memory and even have profound knowledge in a certain field. \ x0d \ x0d \ children with Asperger's syndrome (mostly boys) have normal or extraordinary intelligence and strong mechanical memory. If they are properly educated and can devote themselves to what they are interested in, their children may have a bright future. \ x0d \ x0d \ treatment, there is no panacea at present \ x0d \ x0d "So far, AS has no panacea." Michael FitzGerald believes that "drugs only have auxiliary effects, mainly to alleviate attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or to improve hyperactivity behavior and TIC disorder." At present, there is no treatment for the cause, and there is no clear data to show which method is superior to other methods. There is no miracle in treatment, and the treatment must be slow and steady. \ x0d \ x0d \ However, in view of children's social communication, actual language use and behavior control, children should be better integrated into other children's "social circles" and learn correct language expression skills and behavior rules. \ x0d \ x0d \ Social cognitive skills training-In order to let them slowly jump out of the closed circle and gradually notice the existence and position of others, they can play more board games. These activities can help explain and understand social clues and use praise appropriately to maintain friendship with other children. \ x0d \ x0d \ Practical language ability-Parents should respect several important principles of dialogue in the process of communicating with their children, such as sincerity, relevance to the topic, conciseness and politeness. Let children know what to say and what not to say in a specific situation. \ x0d \ x0d \ Control of behavioral problems-Children should learn how to respond to their sensory needs with appropriate behaviors. Experts suggest that children can do some aerobic exercise, trampoline, rubbing with rough objects, somersault and other sports to get the adjustment of self-feeling.
