Child’s behavior and education
Introduction
A year and a half we noticed how the child ignored, he went as they say in colloquial language to his ball. He did not obey, he was irascible, he did not play with normal games of other children of his age, in the park he went to swings where there were no other children, he ignored basic norms of behavior. Having an older child, it was clear that it was not due to the education we gave him. There was something that failed, but it took a year to go to a specialist, thinking that he would change. Father of a 9 -year -old boy.
The previous segment is the testimony of a family father, who noticed inappropriate behaviors in his son, who observed that the child’s way of acting was not the one for his age, he even believes that he has raised his son badly, at that timeI did not know that the child had Asperger’s syndrome, therefore, it is important to know what this syndrome consists of and what are its characteristics.
Developing
Asperger’s syndrome is a generalized development disorder, it was described by Hans Asperger in 1944. It is characterized by a marked social alteration, difficulties in communication, deficit in play capacity and a range of behavior and repetitive interests, without a significant delay in language, or cognitive. Referring to this population as absent mind professors with a different language, accompanied by a peculiar look and movements, denoting limitations in their social relationships, emphasizing their special skills and talents, as well as in their obsessive routines.
According to the above, this syndrome is very difficult to identify in children, because, the risk of thinking that they are indisciplined, hyperactive, which are very intelligent and, therefore, do not communicate much with others, that have different tastes or choices from other children, among other situations that do not allow patterns to identify this Asperger syndrome, in addition to the lack of knowledge of their characteristics, and manifestation.
Therefore, it is important to mention some of the most significant characteristics of children with this syndrome to have a clear idea of how children behave. According to the Church and Olivar, some outstanding characteristics in the aspect of people’s social relations with Asperger’s syndrome are: naivety, honesty, nobility, lack of evil, hidden interests or double senses, loyalty and unconditional fidelity, facial memoryAnd of the names of the people who know, even if they have not gather a lot of time, seriousness, sincerity, for example, in the games they neither lie nor cheat among others.
Without a doubt with these positive characteristics in social relationships, it can be assumed that the child is mature, intelligent, applied, but the difficulty manifests itself in the negative aspects in terms of social relations as Olivar states: they have problems understandingThe complex rules of social interaction, present difficulties in sharing emotions, show difficulties in sharing joint concerns with those around them, have a desire to relate to their classmates, but fail in their attempts to achieve it, they are partially aware of their loneliness and their difficultyOf relationship.
To the above, it can be added that these children do not present severe cognitive difficulties because, according to APA: there is no clinically significant delay of cognitive development or the development of self-help skills typical of age, adaptive behavior other than social interaction and curiosityAbout the environment during childhood.
conclusion
As can be seen, the syndrome manifests two complex extremes one the maturity and use of the language they possess and two the social exclusion that the same child assumes, an aspect that is very important in school life, since the interaction with the classmates is essential forThe development and way that the child will develop in society and a child with this syndrome seeks to isolate himself and he himself is the one who is excluded, a situation that makes the role of inclusive education and the role of the teacher more difficult in this.
It should be noted that the personality of these children is very complex to identify for parents, teachers and the same classmates, because, although they have some behavior routines, in the education process and the same system does not yet have the ability to disposeHealth professionals in classrooms, in addition to the number of students in public education, does not give teachers the possibility to do personal follow -up and the few students who present this syndrome are adsorbed by the system and there is little help that is the help thatThey are presented and may never receive a true educational process that includes them and helps them diminish their social difficulties.
