Jin Xiangdong looked sideways at Lu Jia’er and then sighed, “But Professor Li and his wife are extrely concerned over Qiqi’s disease!”
It made sense. Asperger syndro is a serious biologically deficient ntal illness in children, it can lead to lifelong disability. And, to date, there is still a lack of specific biological indicators and treatnts for this condition, as a result, children with this disease are bound to impose a huge burden on their families and society.
“Once a child contracts a cold, the whole family will be nervous and panicked, not to ntion if one is to include Asperger syndro,” said Lu Jia’er.
“Have you done any research on Asperger syndro?” asked Jin Xiangdong.
“Asperger syndro belongs to the branch of developntal psychology, with which I am familiar, but I haven’t delved into it.” Lu Jia’er said.
Psychology has many schools of thought and a lot of branches. Lu Jia’er still rembered that Professor Han had told them that if they could thoroughly study a certain field in one of the branches, they could have a lifelong secure job.
“Just after Qiqi had been diagnosed with Asperger’s, Professor Li also took him to see many well-known psychologists! Unfortunately, the effect seed to be minor,” said Jin Xiangdong.
Many of Asperger’s syndros are congenital. The main indicators are social difficulties, with narrow interests and repetitive behaviors. However, patients still retain language and cognitive developnt compared to other autism spectrum disorders. The cause of the disease is not yet clear, but studies have shown that genes, biochemistry, viruses and problems erging during pregnancy and childbirth may be so of the causes for Asperger’s syndro. Asperger’s syndro is theorized to affect 0.7% of the population with confird cases occurring in boys ten tis the rate that it does in girls. [1. Excerpts from Baidu Encyclopedia]
After they are born, they are not much different from normal children prior to their first birthday. They can talk, but they walk slowly and most of their reactions will be clumsy. When they are at about two years old, there are social and emotional abnormalities, self-centeredness and lack of compassion. In interpersonal relationships, they don’t look people in the eye, speak as though they are reciting, require correct diction to understand others, lack a sense of humor, are persistent in specific categories, and have minor dyskinesia 1 However, they don’t have language barriers or intellectual disabilities as ntally retarded autism spectrum disorder patients do. They generally have good visual and reciting performance abilities. In psychology it is known as autism spectrum disorder, which is also a huge health problem facing the world today.
Many scientists and mathematicians in the world also suffer from Asperger’s syndro. After receiving psychological intervention, such patients should be specially educated.
“The treatnt for Asperger’s syndro is a very long process. Qiqi is sensitive to mathematics, we can try to train him in this area,” said Lu Jia’er.
“You are an expert in psychology. Please give a hand to Professor Li if you can,” said Jin Xiangdong.
“I will!” Lu Jia’er nodded resolutely.
On seeing her reaction, Jin Xiangdong couldn’t help smiling and touched Lu Jia’er’s head. “How well-behaved you are!”
Lu Jia’er blushed unconsciously. Love is really wonderful. After encountering Jin Xiangdong, Lu Jia’er felt like a spring flower, one which blood slowly and beca gorgeously colorful, bathed in his constant warmth.
