系统一和系统二,我一直没能搞明白(首先就搞不明白我自己是系统一发达还是系统二为主的人),所以不插嘴,等以后有时间看了书再说。
今天看到篇博文。我不喜欢这个博主,也不觉得内容有用,以前收到推荐链接时注册了接受邮件,懒得退订,倒是有时候看看下面AS家长的评论。今天这个有点意思,是一位成人AS兼家长的采访,她说的第一、二点,无比准确地描述了我的感受,第四点无比准确地描述了我儿子的情况,连情境(gym class)、用语都跟他一模一样。但第四点对我就完全不适用,这一点上我小时候能力极高,正好在儿子的对立面。
What was really good was how she explained certain parts of Asperger’s from her own experience:
1. Social rules – From Penelope’s perspective so many basic social rules are pointless and she is embarrassed to follow them as they appear so false.
For example if someone says “hi how are you?” Penelope has learnt that the response is “fine how are you?”
But she still often won’t do this as she feels that neither person is really that concerned about how the other is, they are just following a social rule that she feels is pointless.
And Penelope says he actually feels embarrassed following this rule as it appears so false.
2. Self-regulation – Penelope said that a big challenge is to stop herself from having a tirade when she feels that something is not done correctly.
For example – In her local library the book indexing is not done correctly. And every time Penelope goes in the library she has to make a huge effort not to get into a heated exchange with the librarian about this issue. Again Penelope knows that such an argument would be inappropriate, yet it is still a struggle for her to prevent her taking this action.
3. Social cues – Penelope feels that social cues are the one area that people with Asperger’s REALLY struggle to cope with. Other issues like light sensitivity, issue with food etc. are much less of an issue – as they impact on the person with Asperger’s and not those around them. Whereas poor reading of social cues can upset others and make you appear offhand, strange or aggressive. So people can take an instant dislike to you – if they don’t have an understanding of this area. And interestingly Penelope said that over time she has developed the understanding and ability to use social cues but… If or example the sun is shining directly into her eyes – this ability is lost as she is totally taken up with the light sensitive issue.
4. Executive functioning – Penelope said that it still amazes her to this day how most children can get to gym class on time at school. This was a huge struggle for her in school, and she feels it would still be today. The whole concept that must of us take for granted such as “how to get to gym” “how to get there io time” “ how to know what to bring” etc. are all big challenges because of issues with organisation and executive functioning.
Penelope’s insights really gave me a look into how things are for people with Asperger’s and provided a valuable “insider” view. I hope they’ve been helpful for you. |
