Recently many parents consult me about autism/autism issues, for the autistic child's social interaction, verbal communication, behavior patterns in these three areas, many people already have a certain understanding, I do not do tutorials. Here we integrate a number from a psychological perspective awareness of autism characteristics of the message, hope it is helpful!
First, visual
Although most of them have visual learning strengths, they like to look out the window scenery, painting, puzzles, watching TV, but some also exist problems, such as not being able to quickly and accurately identify the others face, required memorizing a long time; sometimes not according to the image recognizable to people, but according to the sound or odor identification; visual imaging may be associated with the average person there are certain differences, some children are vulnerable, strabismus problem; some children with autism it is difficult to put visual, auditory stimuli integrated better, they rely on visual or auditory single-channel registration information, single-channel output, if the visual registration of the information need into a spoken output, will have to go through a longer channel of the conversion process, so the visual reaction time, auditory reaction, identify the reaction will be more than normal children slow. To visual is the main way of learning of children with autism in the visual text information is registered well, are often never forget. At the same time, understand the visual information is also relatively fast, our teaching to take full account of their this“specialty” is. For example, they recognize a lot of words, just the entrance, you can put“raise your hand to answer” write a note, let the children watch it again, read it again, so they can quickly grasp, and with a verbal reminder of the way you'll need to repeatedly prompt, as if he did not have a“long head”, is actually he in preaching under no“auditory information to register—go to visual information registration—visual processing—execution”of the program, so there is always a“turn a deaf ear” to the state, and auditory learning styles based often exhibit a“blind eye” to the state.
Second, the auditory
About 40% of children with autism on the environment of the sound-sensitive, and some of their frequency auditory threshold limit may be beyond the normal human hearing range, certain sound will make them extremely offensive. For example, they listen to the birds Twitter barking may be higher than the fire controller screams stronger, from the fountain discharge water of the sound perhaps more than the falls the sound is more strong, they will head hiding in the quilt under the bed, or to scream over some kind of sound, heard their parents speak of the sound may feel ear pain; but may also look indifferent look, do not exhibit discomfort or discomfort, just some eye movement and no positive response and other issues. The auditory or too sensitive or too slow, and sometimes behaved just like a deaf man, but sometimes and as if can hear a very small sound. The tone is generally autistic children to more easily accept and process sensory stimulation.
Most of the autism children have a voice resolving difficult issues, they can not area resolution outside speech sounds, their own language, the additional noise, and the background noise is different, which makes them not to exclude those not suited to the voice and excessive interference. Therefore, some autistic children for the questioner's reaction time are significantly delayed, sometimes have to wait more than ten seconds of time; some by their own body noise bothers the child at night to fall asleep when there are serious difficulties.
They two ear hearing curves are very different at the same intensity of sound tend to have only ears sound will be louder some, that is not all the sound in intensity have the same feelings, the two ears of one side of the reaction is relatively obvious.
Autism children in inter-individual differences great is a consciousness developing with the normal children of different features, some visual, auditory and synchronization of the reaction there are very large obstacles, while their time perception, orientation perception, motion perception, depth perception, and cooperating ability are very poor. For example, when crossing the street to driving car speed, orientation, judgment is unclear, often to the people to disregard the dangers of illusion; some small children dare on a high ledge stood, might depth perception problem. We must carefully observe and analyze their various consciousness disorders, early targeted remedial training.
