In daily work, study and life, children or adults with Asperger's syndrome are regarded as mental illness because of their abnormal speech and behavior. In fact, Asperger's syndrome is also called Asperger's syndrome, or AS for short. Most people are called Asperger's syndrome, not Asperger's syndrome, because Asperger's syndrome is obviously different from autism and psychosis. It is not so much a disease as a special brain. It is mainly a symptom of children's nervous system development disorder. Most of them are accompanied by hyperactivity, convulsions and attention deficit. This kind of child is a very special child. It usually takes several years to make a diagnosis. There is no specific medicine. Mainly rely on ordinary behavior training, education and guidance, and participate in social activities, so that children can grow into useful social pillars with correct values and mentality, sound personality and character, and make achievements in learning.

Characteristics of Asperger's syndrome:

1, 80- 100% of children have ADHD.

13, there are also top children with Asperger's syndrome who become celebrities when they grow up, such as Newton, Einstein, Edison, Bill Gates, Chen Jingrun, French President Charles de Gaulle, American President Jefferson, musician Beethoven, Mozart, fairy tale writer Andersen, philosopher Kant and writer Wells. ...

Second, /68008998.html A letter from Zhongshan Third Hospital to teachers and parents.

The following is a letter from the Child Development Behavior Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Sun Yat-sen University to the parents and teachers of children with Asperger's syndrome.

Dear parents and teachers, hello!

After our detailed inquiry, examination and review, the child was diagnosed (suspected) as Asperger's syndrome.

Asperger's syndrome is a rare behavior disorder in children. In fact, it is not so much a disease as a child with a special brain. This kind of child is a very special child.

About sixty years ago, experts have discovered the existence of such children. At the age of 4 -7, parents and teachers will find that children's behavior is naive and does not match their age; Attention is often very unfocused, very excited and excited; Go your own way, "self-centered." Teachers' and parents' instructions are often ignored, and sometimes they even walk out of the classroom during class; Children's moods are changeable and sometimes difficult to control; I am not good at communicating with children, and I often have conflicts with my classmates, quarreling and fighting.

If this is the case, we will easily associate these children with ADHD. But when we continue to observe and understand, we will find that 1) these children are actually very focused, and they also have their own interests (not including watching TV and playing computer games), such as train schedules, historical events, dinosaur evolution and so on. 2) These children may have amazing memories, especially in mechanical memory; 3) Children may not have a good academic record as a whole, but they may have a deep understanding of a certain field (such as biology, geography, nature, etc.) (or have this potential). ); 4) Children and children often have contradictions, but they are eager to communicate and communicate. Just because of the lack of communication skills, communication always ends in failure, and children will become lonely and have mood swings; 5) Children may lack the ability to comprehend many things, but overall, their intelligence is normal; 6) Children sometimes seem illogical and don't pay special attention to what they should say on any occasion, but their language ability is normal, and sometimes they can even say some languages that make adults feel "surprised"; 7) Children's behavior tends to be rigid and stubborn, and it is difficult to turn around and go straight, which is not so flexible.

Generally speaking, children with Asperger's syndrome give parents and teachers the impression that they are self-centered, naive, distracted, emotional, intelligent and strange.

It must be pointed out that although the child's behavior is a bit strange, neither Asperger's syndrome nor the child is a mental illness. Although I have caused a lot of trouble at school, it is completely educatable. And if properly educated, children may have a bright future. Some scholars study biographies of historical celebrities and think that Einstein, Newton and others may be patients with Asperger's syndrome. For example, Einstein had poor academic performance when he was a child. Soon after he entered middle school, he dropped out of school because of his stupidity. Later, when he entered the university, he only took one math class. Later, his achievements were known to everyone. Therefore, we can say that among many children with Asperger's syndrome, some are actually gifted children.

What will happen to children with Asperger's syndrome today? Children with Asperger's syndrome used to be difficult to adapt (Einstein is an example), and it is even more difficult to adapt today when "scores are life"; Parents and teachers' lack of knowledge about Eberg syndrome makes children completely unable to understand it; The requirements of current education for students' all-round development may make them encounter severe challenges; The obstacles that children with Asperger's syndrome may cause to other children make teachers have to consider "the right of other children to education"; The shortage of school teachers makes it difficult for us to carry out so-called "personalized education" for these children.

However, we must educate these children individually. This is the requirement of education for all children and the requirement of compulsory education law. From a higher level, the successful education of children with Asperger's syndrome may make your children or students become the next Einstein!

For children with Asperger's syndrome, the most important thing is: 1) understanding and tolerance of children's behavior. Neither parents nor teachers know much about Asperger's syndrome. We must understand them first. What is clear is that their problem behaviors are not intentional pranks, mental retardation, or parents' educational mistakes (not "batting practice", which has little to do with doting), but that they are born with a special brain and have potential natural endowments and potential problem behaviors. We may have noticed the child's problem behavior, but please also pay attention to the child's natural endowment, which is the first step for us to understand the child; 2) Correcting the problem behavior. The problem behavior of children with Asperger's syndrome is objective and we can't avoid it. Although the concept of Asperger's syndrome is only now known to us, effective methods to correct problem behaviors have been established through practice. Through the communication between parents, teachers and medical staff, our understanding of children with Asperger's syndrome can be greatly improved; On the basis of understanding, the reflection and change of parents and teachers' attitudes and methods towards children's education can sometimes play the role of "turning decay into magic"; Through "role-playing games", "video analysis" or "demonstration of correct behavior", children's interpersonal skills can be educated to a certain extent, and their extroverted destructive behavior in school can be reduced. Timely and appropriate rewards for children's good behaviors and moderate and appropriate punishments for problem behaviors (excluding beating and cursing) can obviously change children's school performance; When parents and teachers give guidance, giving children with Asperger's syndrome a little more "choice" or a little more discussion tone can obviously alleviate their stubborn opposition. At the same time, make children more flexible and not rigid; Drug intervention when necessary can also obviously improve the symptoms of children's distraction and hyperactivity; 3) The discovery, cultivation and transformation of special talents. Children with Asperger's syndrome have some special abilities more or less. The discovery of these abilities usually depends on the sensitive and calm minds of parents. There is a lot of evidence that many people with Asperger's syndrome engage in jobs related to their special abilities in childhood, and they can be excellent. So we pay attention to children's special abilities and cultivate them properly. However, it is more important to transform children's special abilities into a wider range of disciplines and fields, which may promote children's all-round development to some extent. If the transformation is not successful, we still have to understand and tolerate, and the effect of forced learning is often counterproductive.

Indeed, we still know very little about Asperger's syndrome, and there are still some academic disputes on some issues, and the help we can provide is still very limited. But we are willing to work with parents and teachers to help these special children successfully complete their studies, realize their talents and become useful materials for the country.

I wish you a happy work, good health and all the best.

Twelve. /p-93539625.htmlMany celebrities in history suffered from Asperger's disease.

An AS research celebrity pointed out that there are many celebrities on all fronts in history who have made outstanding achievements because of Asperger's disease, such as Newton and Einstein.

The British "Daily Telegraph" reported that Michael Fitzgerald, a professor of psychiatry at Trinity College, University of Dublin, Ireland, claimed that many celebrities in history had signs of "Asperger's Syndrome" (ASDs), including Asperger's Syndrome, such as scientists Newton and Einstein; Writers George Orwell and herbert george wells; Philosopher Wigenstein; Politician Charles de Gaulle and American President Jefferson.

Some celebrities were also diagnosed with Asperger's disease after their death, such as musicians Beethoven, Mozart, fairy tale writer Andersen and philosopher Kant. Speaking at a conference organized by the Royal College of Psychiatry, Fitzgerald pointed out that the creativity shown by these geniuses and the symptoms of Asperger's syndrome are related to similar genetic variations. He believes that mental disorders can also show positive results.

Because Asperger can easily become a genius.

Psychiatrists say that many outstanding people in science, literature, art and politics are often patients with Asperger's disease. This is because the genes that cause Asperger's disease are essentially the same as the genes that create talents, so people with Asperger's disease often have creative talents at the same time.

Michael FitzGerald, a professor of psychiatry at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, is regarded as a leading figure in the field of Asperger's disease. He believes that people with Asperger's disease also have creative talents.

Newton and Einstein both had Asperger tendencies.

Fitzgerald, for example, said that scientists Newton and Einstein, British writer George Orwell, founder of science fiction H·G· Wells and Austrian philosopher ludwig wittgenstein all showed the symptoms of Asperger's syndrome, among which Asperger's syndrome is more common. In addition, Beethoven, Mozart, Andersen and Kant were all found to have symptoms of Asperger's syndrome at autopsy after death.

Fitzgerald believes that there is a connection between Asperger's disease and creativity, which is determined by genetic factors. He said: "I think the genes that cause Asperger's disease (or Asperger's syndrome) are essentially the same as the genes that create creativity."

Asperger's syndrome usually refers to the social emotional disorder and abnormal interpersonal communication that gradually appear around the age of two. Patients are extremely self-centered, lack sympathy, often have a persistent preference for something and like to be alone. Asperger's syndrome has a great influence on people's social relations, but it has no influence on people's intelligence. People with this disease often have extraordinary artistic creativity and mathematical talent.

Opponents: Everyone is different.

Some psychiatrists disagree with Fitzgerald's theory. Amanda Barton, from Autism UK, said: "It is very important to avoid thinking that autism is necessarily related to extraordinary talents, because everyone has different personality characteristics, willpower and needs." She said that these characteristics may also include attention to detail and long-term persistence in something. However, "these obvious characteristics may mislead people and underestimate other challenges that these people need to overcome."

(Comprehensive report of this newspaper)

The genius master behaves strangely.

This newspaper comprehensively reported that many masters of science and literature in history suffered from Asperger's syndrome, and their behavior gave people only one word: strange.

Celebrities have many eccentricities.

Einstein had a hard time communicating with people in his daily life. Before he was seven years old, he often talked obsessively and repeatedly. Even after he became a lecturer, his speech was still vague.

Newton hardly ever spoke. He is so absorbed in his work that he often forgets to eat. He also showed indifference or lost his temper to a few friends. Even if no one comes to his class, he will give a lecture to an empty room.

Among writers, jonathan swift, the author of Gulliver's Travels, is one of the most famous writers in the history of English literature. But in real life, Swift is not good at communicating with people, and even rarely smiles.

Lewis carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland, is a mathematician and logician. After the publication of Alice in Wonderland, it was deeply loved by children and adults. In real life, it is said that in order to make a good pot of tea, Carol walked around the room with a teapot and shook it "ten times", which must be the same number of times each time.

There are many literary masters who have quirks. George Orwell is "very rude" to his wife, "perverse and abusive"; Pushkin has a certain degree of schizophrenia; Michelangelo suffered from Asperger's syndrome.

Sixth, reprint a letter to students with Asperger's disease (2009-10-2621:28: 43).

Understanding tolerance

Zhang:

Before I took over this class, I already knew your name, and I also knew that you brought endless troubles to the teachers and classmates of this class; But I didn't know you still had Asperger's disease, let alone that Asperger's disease was so serious. In the first month when I took over this class, your performance was beyond my expectation: after class, other children were frolicking outside the classroom, and you always ran to the teacher to ask questions; Answer questions accurately and creatively in class. At that time, I said, what about this sick child? Jane is a genius. Maybe the second Einstein will be born soon.

However, from the second month, that is, after returning to school during the National Day holiday last year, you are uncharacteristically: you often talk about who you want to kill; Spit on classmates' heads; Bite many students in the class; Run to the podium at every turn in class. Being restless in class all day, the teacher can't attend class at all. I was depressed and helpless at that time. I was tortured by you all day and couldn't sleep at midnight, thinking about how to change you.

One night, I looked up the information about Asperger's disease on the Internet and got a detailed understanding of some symptoms of the disease. From then on, I realized that your behavior was not intentional, but a pathological manifestation, which you can't control. Children, please forgive the teacher's misunderstanding and criticism of you many times.

The teacher knows that your illness is Asperger's syndrome. You are lonely, and there are many things around you that will make you feel unbearable, such as who speaks loudly, or who calls names and touches your school supplies. These stimuli will stimulate your mood swings. In order to vent, you often use violence to solve problems, which makes you unable to live in harmony with your classmates. You are in pain, too. I remember your mother once told me that you can hear noise that others can't hear at night, and it takes you two hours to control yourself to sleep every night. Son, the teacher sympathizes with you and loves you. I will definitely give you more understanding and tolerance in the future.

In this school year, the teacher noticed that you also have the same excellent qualities as other students: you are a child who wants to make progress and have a sense of class collective honor, but the way of performance is somewhat inappropriate. Do you remember? Before the sports meeting, the class was selecting athletes. You didn't select the first event, the second event and the third event. Now, you are in a hurry. You said in front of the teacher that you were going to collapse and that you were going to kill someone. In order to stabilize your mood, the teacher lied to you and said, "If you listen to the teacher, the teacher will apply to the school to let you take part in the long jump competition, but you should train well." When I heard this, you immediately stopped making trouble and kept practicing long jump every day, working hard. Although you didn't get good grades in the final exam, you tried your best.

You are also a grateful child. It was that sports meeting that the radio never informed you to take part in the competition. You are in a hurry. I took your hand and came to the competition venue to participate in the competition. You are very touched. When you went back in the evening, you wrote a diary entitled "Thank the Teacher". This is the best diary you have ever written. It expresses your true feelings. The next day, the teacher read your diary and shed tears.

You are still a compassionate child. There is a mentally retarded child in our class-classmate Zhang. He has no companion of his own and often works alone. You found him lonely, so you took the initiative to play with him. Your mother won't let you play with him for fear of influencing you. But you felt sorry for him and didn't leave Zhang because of his mother's stop. I remember you once told me: "If I don't make friends with Zhang, he will have no friends, and then he will be too poor."

Son, you are really good! The teacher hopes that you will cooperate with your mother's treatment and let your illness get better as soon as possible. After your illness is cured, you will become more lovely. Head teacher/class teacher

Nine, well-educated patients with Asperger's syndrome are easy to succeed.

From: Alex

Interviewed Expert: Zou Xiaobing, Director of Child Development Behavior Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.

Written by: Our reporter kaiser kuo correspondent Li Ziwei.

BACKGROUND: Asperger's syndrome is a developmental disorder of nervous system characterized by social difficulties, restricted and abnormal interest and behavior patterns, and it belongs to generalized developmental disorder like autism in classification. The cause of the disease is unknown, and the incidence rate may be much higher than that of childhood autism, which is harmful to children's mental health.

Zou Xiaobing, director of the Children's Developmental Behavior Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and an authoritative expert on Asperger's syndrome in China, said that American statistics show that there may be 1 child with Asperger's syndrome in every 500 people in China. According to the ratio of one in five hundred, there will be 2.6 million people with Asperger's syndrome in China, and such children are often called "prodigies". When they grow up, if children with Asperger's syndrome are properly educated, they are likely to become people who change the world like Newton, Einstein and Bill Gates.

As early as 1944, Hans Asperger, a pediatrician in Vienna, first proposed the behavioral characteristics of this special child and named it "Asperger's mental disorder". 198 1 year, Rona Wu of the United States named the symptoms with such characteristics "Asperger's syndrome" in memory of Hans Asperger. When people use the characteristics of Asperger's syndrome to compare their predecessors, they suddenly find that Newton, Einstein, Andersen, Beethoven, Mozart, Van Gogh, Darwin and other people who changed the world may all suffer from Asperger's syndrome. Even foreign researchers believe that Hitler, the German head of state who triggered the world war, also suffered from Asperger's syndrome.

"These major discoveries have aroused great concern in the United States and European countries. For example, when the United States suffered a huge economic crisis in 2009, President Obama promulgated 20 social assistance measures, including funding for the study of Asperger's syndrome, which shows its importance. In the mainland, the whole society, including government departments, has not yet aroused enough understanding of Asperger's syndrome, and there are less than 100 scientific papers in this area, but these children are real. " Zou Xiaobing said.

Unlike autism.

Zou Xiaobing told reporters that this kind of child has a very special brain rather than a disease. Many people confuse Asperger's disease with autism, but they are actually different. These children are all very individual children. However, it should be pointed out that there are similarities between children with Asperger's syndrome and children with Asperger's disease, but they are not exactly the same. Although they are all self-centered, children with Asperger's syndrome have superhuman IQ and obvious social defects, and belong to the high-end form of Asperger's disease. Since the establishment of the Child Development Behavior Center, children's symptoms have been collected one by one and entered into the database. "Now I have information about nearly 20,000 children, of whom more than 65,438+0,000 are patients with Asperger's syndrome, and nearly 65,438+0,000 children have been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome." Zou Xiaobing said that although such children behave strangely, they are not mentally ill; Although I have caused a lot of trouble at school, it is completely educatable. If properly educated, some children may be very promising in the future and may even become masters.

Don't simply evaluate the quality of the disease.

According to the research in the past ten years, Zou Xiaobing found that Asperger's syndrome is congenital, and the acquired will affect his development track. But at present, he doesn't know how to prevent it, and he can't simply evaluate Asperger's syndrome by good or bad.

Zou Xiaobing literally said, "Newton created the19th century, Einstein created the 20th century, and Bill Gates created the 2 1 century, although Bill Gates denied that he had Asperger's syndrome." What about the next century?

"Many families suffer from Asperger's syndrome because they don't know enough about Asperger's syndrome!" Zou Xiaobing watched too many family tragedies with emotion. Because in today's "score is life", it is more difficult for children with Asperger's syndrome to adapt to society and school. The lack of knowledge of parents and teachers about Asperger's syndrome makes children completely incomprehensible. The requirements of current education for students' all-round development may make them face severe challenges. Children with Asperger's syndrome may cause obstacles to other children, which makes teachers have to consider "the right of other children to receive education." The shortage of school teachers makes "personalized education" stretched. For many reasons, children with Asperger's syndrome can't and can't develop their maximum potential.

■ Experts suggest that education must follow three principles.

1, understanding and tolerance of children's behavior is the guarantee of education. Children with Asperger's syndrome are born with special brains, accompanied by obvious problem behaviors and potential natural endowments. We may have noticed the child's problem behavior, but please also pay attention to the child's natural endowment. This is the first step for us to understand children. The second step is to learn to tolerate children's problem behaviors, and we must put an end to the educational methods of beating and cursing and copying homework to prevent children from being hurt more, such as avoidance, anxiety, depression, aggression and many other serious psychological problems.

2. Correct the problem behavior. Don't avoid the problem behavior of children with Asperger's syndrome. It exists objectively, and some problems cannot be avoided or avoided. Parents and teachers should give children with Asperger's syndrome more "choices", or a little more discussion tone can obviously alleviate their emotional disorders. Drug intervention when necessary can also significantly improve children's symptoms such as distraction, hyperactivity, excitement and irritability.

3. The discovery, cultivation and transformation of special abilities should be timely. Children with Asperger's syndrome have some special abilities more or less. If children's special abilities are transformed into a wider range of disciplines and fields, it may promote their all-round development to a certain extent and benefit from Chinese, mathematics and English learning. Help these special children successfully complete their studies, realize their talents and become useful materials for the country.

■ Do a test: Asperger's syndrome performance

Zou Xiaobing summed up the children with Asperger's syndrome in his "Practical Guide for Families" as follows:

1. Extremely active, but very focused on things he is very interested in, such as train schedules and historical events;

I have an amazing memory, especially in mechanical memory such as reading words and reciting poems. My overall grades are not very good, but I have a deep understanding of a certain field or discipline such as biology, geography and nature.

3. I am willing to communicate with people, just because I lack communication skills, and I often have conflicts with my children. Communication ends in failure, and they become lonely and their emotions fluctuate;

4. Lack of understanding of daily metaphors, jokes and sarcastic remarks, but his intelligence is really normal;

5. Sometimes speaking seems to lack logic, and I don't pay special attention to what I say on any occasion, but my language ability is normal, and sometimes I can even say things that surprise adults, but the language is often narrative or one-way, and less interactive, sharing or communicative;

6. Behavior is often rigid and stubborn, it is difficult to turn around and go straight, and it is not so flexible;

7. Poor classroom discipline is the best follower of the rules you agree with, and even gives people the impression of a perfectionist;

8. The endurance when encountering setbacks is poor, and it is common to lose your temper after encountering setbacks;

9. Most of them are characterized by poor hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. They hate handwritten homework and can say something plausibly, but they don't want to record what they say in their exercise books.
