Three, smell, touch, taste, and other sensations
Autistic children are part of a serious partial Eclipse behavior, which has one of the main reasons is the sense of smell sensitive, and sometimes they rely on smell rather than taste determine to eat and not eat. The sense of smell is relatively sensitive, some not the smell of great food, he smells may smell red nose, and therefore refused to eat, and some children with autism just fixed the toilet with this. Some autistic kids have tactile sensitivity issues, do not accept the new clothes, footwear, gloves and the like, Because wear the skin feels uncomfortable; some partial Eclipse and the food in the mouth to chew to feel bad about; Don't like to wash your hair, wash your face is also tactile hypersensitivity caused; washing hands, playing in the water and are usually these kinds of kids like. These problems affect a child's life the ability to adapt to the development, but also often cause others can not understand, adding to the communication barriers, it should be granted intervention. Internal sensation includes proprioception, balance, sensory and visceral feel. Proprioception is also called the kinesthetic, which reflect the various parts of the body position, motion, and muscle tension, i.e. muscle and joint, tendon feeling. It is engaged in the normal activities of the guarantee, as you want to get on the table something it is necessary to adjust the arm posture and movement, to the stairs it is necessary to put the foot to lift high enough, which requires kinesthetic help. Some of the children Body sense receptors unresponsive, even from the height of the jump, the body sensory organs are not“alarm”. But in life and gives a stupid Knock Knock feel, such as up and down the stairs of the action is very heavy, encounter small puddles are joust, these seemingly not afraid of dangerous behavior and they do not feel dangerous about it. At the same time, the hand strong, but not hard to grip items, hand percussion things the force is too large, etc. are also relevant. In addition, the tongue, lips, vocal cords, and other speech organs kinesthetic unresponsive to the sound of the language occurs, the development of adverse effects. Balance sense is mainly related to the overall position and movement of the body. It provides information about rotation, acceleration, and tilt. It plays an important role in keeping the body upright, adjusting body posture and carrying out relevant spatial cognition. The receptors mainly include semicircular canals and vestibules. Two parts. Some children with autism have defects in this aspect, although it is difficult to see the problem of balance in daily life. For example, a 6-year-old child can pass a 30cm high balance beam, and it is not easy to have problems. However, if a small basin of water is used, a large amount of water may be spilled, and the problem of balance is revealed. In addition, they often make some rotations, swaying before and after, when the vestibular organs are excited, the objects in the field of vision will have the illusion of movement, and they use this as a self-stimulating behavior. When crossing the road, some will not look around, and even if you look at it, you can't judge the relationship between distance and speed. The latter may be related to the illusion, distance perception and kinesthetic problems caused by their abnormal feelings in the vestibule. Therefore, we must see the real reasons behind their fear of danger and arrange targeted training.
Fourth, pay attention to
Children with autism often have distracted attention, or they are unable to effectively transfer, are affected by emotions, etc., have short-term attention, easy to leave the seat, etc.; more time than others need to divert attention between auditory and visual information. When you are in too much contact with people, you will be nervous and uncomfortable; you will be overly sensitive to certain stimuli, and for other stimuli, you will show "turning a blind eye, listening and not smelling". Actually, you can't choose effectively; you have difficulty in continuing and switching attention. Affected by other psychological factors such as visual registration and memory, they have problems with the orientation and classification of new stimuli. In addition, due to the excessive activity of the brainstem alert system, the high degree of alertness of this part of the screening stimulation is reduced correspondingly, that is, situations in which attention or no attention is paid. This attention deficit is relatively rare in highly functional children with better ability.
Five, memory
Most of the mechanical memory of numbers and text symbols is better, especially in terms of strong language ability. They usually recite a lot of things, some can carry a lot of poetry, some can carry a perpetual calendar, some can carry a lot of local names, mechanical memory is better. They remember well about intuitive non-verbal materials, have the short-term memory of abstract things, and have a bad memory of children's looks and names, especially the poor situational memory. The joint memory of context and semantics is very weak. If some children go out to play, what toys are they playing? How do you feel? Often there is no response as if this did not happen. The memory of some abstract things is done by means of mediation. The strategy that autistic children usually use is basically not applied to children with poor language skills.
Six, emotions
Emotional instability is an inherent manifestation of autistic children, and a little bit of turmoil in the natural environment of the outside world may make them unhappy. There are many children who suppress various emotional experiences during childhood. There are few grievances that are consistent with the environment, crying, laughing, and loudly rejecting. At the school-age, emotional problems are increasing, and temper is lost. Some children are It is often seemingly inexplicably crying, screaming, running, as if experiencing terrible stimuli.
