Living in a ... strange world (Asperger Syndrome) Living in a ... strange world (Syndrome asperger)
Brillantes to development an engineering system or be number one your class but unable make friends because are devoid of the skills that enable them to distinguish good from bad, funny how serious, fantasy from reality. Every 300 people is born an Asperger. Despite the frequency, most have never been diagnosed, undergo eccentric geniuses, madmen. This is the case of Marcelo Rios, Bill Gates, Albert Einstein and Steven Spielberg. And the world is just beginning to talk about them.
do not capture the underlying rules of the game, or understand the jokes. Inflexible of mind and behavior, interpret everything literally. They are innocent and they lack social empathy with the feelings. The prognosis is good as it is involved at an early age.
ASPERGER BE MEAN THAT IS NORMAL FOR ALL IT'S NOT FOR THEM. Are devoid of equipment to survive in this world. Have difficulty understanding the intentions of others. Not capture the underlying rules of the game, or understand the jokes, jokes and metaphors. Inflexible of mind and behavior, interpret everything literally, are innocent social, not act against a new situation. They lack empathy, can not intuitively perceive the feelings of others.
"In general, these patients have impaired communication. If you play with another child, focus on the same, there is no correspondence. It's a monologue. The other is the disturbed area of \u200b\u200binterest. Restricted to repetitive behaviors and tend to worry one. Eg Dinosaurs and studying so concentratedly who know much about. To diagnose must be give these two characteristics "notes Marcos Manríquez, child neurologist Clinic Alemana.
While this ailment is part of called spectrum autistic where other mental disorders unlike autism no delay intellectual unlike the coefficient is highest normal. A foregoing adds habitually have disorders engines. "Les costs write biking, climb. In compensation this language develops prematurely. Seem pedants because used words large wide correct. Can start reading precociously, even three years but necessarily understand what say "explains neurologist.
The early deploying their skills makes parents think having a son gifted and neglecting other aspects." Tend deny there relationship problems with others. They hold how bright are. And although have school difficulties as no physical evidence, disability not assumed as such "says Manríquez.
But when begin appearing other symptoms things change:" From five, emerge a child very rigid usually not tolerate contact physical. With manias marked. Eg if not close door so, weapon a tantrum. Parents distressed seeing that small want ordering world whim. Son attached to schemas and routines. Become accustomed to go one street school and when that changes, tense. At nine years start crises unwilling school, unwilling be with other children. Already realize that differ and arise fears isolated. There parents begin seek help and part a pilgrimage different professionals "clarifies María del Carmen Aguilera, center director Leo Kanner, specialist topic.
His great problem is unable understand the rest. El Asperger thinks differently. Want make friends but not know how.
"It thinking concretely, hiperreatista. To them things are what are. No believe in God because can see. We are abstract surrealists. That difference reflection annihilates. There children have delayed five years learning a game. There are able see whole learn by parties by details, then unite. Thus works brain structure because need go understanding codes for them our ways is like talking Chinese. Nor perceive nonverbal communication. So when knowing someone not look people eyes Non mistaken gestures we use. If see us serious think we're angry. Are essentially visual, hence its interest in television, computers. The eye gives them specific information, "said Maria del Carmen Aguilera.
The lack of a definitive diagnosis because doctors do not know the subject or have certain prejudices." As there are no exams, becomes a sort of interview and listen to parents, the end is all relative. This helps makes late, when children are in deep depressive, and not speak or are almost schizophrenic. It's really a tragedy, "says Isabel lbacache.
concur with that child neurologist Mark Manriquez, who acknowledges a lack of dedication in the field: "Apart from that professionals do not make good prescribing, also avoided. Because it is powerful and life. It is not an issue pneumonia and passed. Therefore, usually I put other names, such as communication disorders. In addition, parents do not help. As you see they have high skills in other areas, if the doctor warned about the syndrome does not believe you and go to another specialist. Everyone avoids the truth and instruct the child to the therapist who treats disorders of development, without specifying which. " Aguilera says
possibly up to 50 percent of adults with the syndrome has not been never evaluated or diagnosed correctly. These "Asperger normal" are considered "different" or "eccentrics" crazy geniuses. Many have helped develop sciences and mathematics. Among them tell Thomas Jefferson, third president U.S.; to creator Microsoft, Bill Gates; to filmmaker Steven Spielberg-who even written about his syndrome-; to tennis national Marcelo Ríos at creator theory relativity Albert Einstein. Al seems its scope is mathematical thinking structured therefore Silicon Valley would place more concentration Aspergers worldwide.
Yet neurologist Marcos Manriquez disagree with these statements triumphalist.
"Over the years, as school subjects need more analysis, Asperger decrease performance. Impossible to be professionally because it's brilliant creativity that makes the difference and that these people do not have it. I think we can learn things mechanically and do well in structured tasks, but from there to innovate or invent something, I doubt it. "
Still, therapists and Maria del Carmen Aguilera insist that these are people with many difficulties and obstacles, but intellectually superior and that with help and some luck are well established in society, not without costs and pain involved.
"There is much ignorance about this. Some treat me as a patient. I wonder how I feel. They think it's like a depression, good to sometimes spend days when I'm depressed. They do not understand that the syndrome is a set of characteristics that are associated with me, that suddenly is not well and suddenly is not.'m Asperger, and that means living in a constant mess with reality. I do not understand the codes of all people from birth, inherited as an instinct . That we must learn. Sometimes I cry for no reason, but it is not that sad. just cry. My mother says it's because I do not identify my emotions. "
-When tell else I be filmmaker first thought is I'll starve. Exists 90 percent chance that never achieve what want and least country like Chile but worth trying. Not imagine future doing otherwise otherwise could not be happy.
-Always I felt very alone although actually not be. Believe sometimes I have the reason albeit Only thousand who thinks differently. Nobody can enter my mind and see chaos and disorder I have. There physical sensations constant over day I bother even level evenly. I read internet that also a trait which with this syndrome. As simple sensations such as feeling my bare feet touching a sheet or have short nails "...
