介绍:
Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD, affects how people communicate with and relate to others. This isn’t the same as being shy or not knowing what to say. Most people with Autism don’t understand some of the basic social conventions that others take for granted. They might have trouble making eye contact, holding a conversation, or recognizing gestures. And over one-third of people with ASD are nonverbal, meaning they don’t use speech.
Along with communication issues, people with Autism often like to follow certain patterns or repeated behaviors. Many have a sensitivity to bright light or loud noises, and others have physical problems, like trouble walking or picking up small objects. Some have intellectual disabilities, but about half have average or above average IQs. It’s also common for people with Autism to have a great long-term memory for certain details, and many excel in math, science, music or art. With such a wide variety of symptoms, no two people with ASD are alike.
泛自闭症障碍，也称为 ASD，影响患者跟他人沟通、相处的能力。这并不等同于“害羞”或者是“不知道说什么”。大多数自闭症患者并不懂一些在他人看来理所当然的基本的社交惯例。他们可能无法做到眼神接触，对话，以及手势识别。并且超过三分之一的自闭症患者是属于非言语交际的，也就是说他们不说话。
除了交流障碍，自闭症患者经常会重复某种模式，或者行为。一些患者对于光线或嘈杂声很敏感，还有一些患者患有生理问题，比如说走路困难，无法捡拾小物件。此外还有一些患者有智力问题，但是二分之一左右的患者有着中等或中等偏上的智商。能够长期记住某些细节对自闭症患者来说是很平常的。有的还擅长数学，科学，音乐或者艺术。因为每位患者都有着各种各样不同的症状，所以任意两个自闭症患者都是不同的。
