Today, this article will take you to understand the difference between synaesthesia and autism. Let's have a look!
Sensory integration is the function of the brain, and sensory integration disorder is a kind of brain dysfunction, which means that all kinds of sensory stimulation information input into the brain can not form an effective combination in the central nervous system, so that limbs can not operate effectively, resulting in a series of learning, sports and life obstacles.
Main manifestations of sensory integration disorder
Vestibular balance dysfunction: manifested as fidgeting, easy to fall when walking, inattention, inattention in class, love to make small moves and so on. There may also be language development retardation, difficulty in language expression, and delayed speech.
Visual impairment: it is manifested as inability to read fluently, frequent skipping or missing reading, too many words and too few words. The radicals of writing are reversed, even illiterate. Learn to forget, can't do calculations, and often copy wrong questions and miss them.
Tactile disorder: manifested as nervousness, withdrawal, fear of unfamiliar environment, biting nails, crying, excessive attachment to parents, easy to produce separation anxiety, or excessive nervousness, stimulating others, partial eclipse or overeating, and bad temper.
Hearing impairment: manifested in listening to others but not listening, forgetting things, often forgetting what the teacher said and homework assigned.
Ontology imbalance: lack of self-confidence, passive retreat, clumsy hands and feet, poor language ability.
Poor coordination: poor balance. It is easy to fall when walking, and there are often falls. You can't roll, jump rope and beat like other children. Poor hands-on ability and fine movements.
Children with sensory impairment have normal intelligence, but there are obstacles in the coordination between the brain and various parts of the body, which makes many excellent aspects unable to be displayed. Usually, children can easily correct sensory disorders through training before 12 years old. Once they pass the age of 12, they will be stereotyped and not easy to change.
Autism is a very common congenital disease, which began in infancy, and the specific cause is still unclear. Mainly manifested in different degrees of language barriers, social barriers, narrow interests, rigid repetition.
Among autistic children, the intelligence level is very inconsistent, a few patients are within the normal range, and most patients show different degrees of mental retardation. At present, apart from educational intervention, no medicine or therapy has been proved to be effective for autism, including western medicine and Chinese medicine. Early detection and early intervention is the best choice.
The main manifestations of autism
Social barriers: unable to establish normal interpersonal relationships with others, lack of eye contact, poor expression skills, and refusal to hug and caress parents and others. I can't tell the relationship between relatives and friends, and I have the same attitude towards relatives and others. It is difficult to establish a normal attachment relationship with parents and a normal partnership with children of the same age.
Language barrier: people who have language development retardation or barrier can't speak when they are two or three years old, or have expressive language before they are two or three years old after normal language development, which gradually decreases or even loses with age, and are silent for life, or have repetitive language, or use limited language in rare cases.
Narrow interest: I am not interested in games and toys that normal children are keen on, but like to play with some non-toy items, such as a bottle cap or an electric fan watching the rotation, which can last for dozens of minutes or even hours without getting bored.
Repetition of rigid behavior: I don't like changes, and I stubbornly demand to keep the routine of daily activities unchanged, such as going to bed, covering the quilt, and taking the same route when going out. If you stop these activities or change your behavior pattern, you will show obvious unhappiness and anxiety, and even appear rebellious behavior. There may also be repeated rigid actions, such as clapping, turning around, stamping, etc.
