Ce film a reçu le Grand prix et le Prix du public du Festival Handica-Apicil 2007. Nous laissons la parole à Frédéric Philibert « Lorsque nous nous sommes aperçus que notre petit garçon avait un problème, un pédiatre nous a envoyé vers un centre médico psychologique dans lequel nous avons été orientés, nous les parents, vers une démarche de psychanalyse. Nous n’y avons pas adhéré, mais nous avons cherché d’autres solutions ; prise en charge à l’hôpital et programme adapté à domicile, parallèlement nous avons choisi de créer et réaliser un film en famille. Cela a été le moyen de raconter un peu notre histoire, de parler de cet handicap qu’est l’autisme de façon très simple. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Wikipedia, t.

Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger disorder (AD) or simply Asperger's, is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.

Asperger syndrome

It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical (peculiar, odd) use of language are frequently reported.[1][2] The syndrome is named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, studied and described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, demonstrated limited empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy.[3] The modern conception of Asperger syndrome came into existence in 1981[4] and went through a period of popularization,[5][6] becoming standardized as a diagnosis in the early 1990s. Classification. What is Asperger Syndrome? Dr Hans Asperger, an Austrian pediatrician, originally described Asperger’s Syndrome in 1944.

What is Asperger Syndrome?

The syndrome has more recently been classified as an autistic spectrum disorder. Children and adults with Asperger’s Syndrome have an intellectual capacity within the normal range, but have a distinct profile of abilities that has been apparent since early childhood. The profile of abilities includes the following characteristics: A qualitative impairment in social interaction: Failure to develop friendships that are appropriate to the child’s developmental level. Impaired use of non-verbal behaviour such as eye gaze, facial expression and body language to regulate a social interaction.

From my clinical experience I consider that children and adults with Asperger’s Syndrome have a different, not defective, way of thinking. Copyright © 2005 Tony Attwood. Table of Contents. Syndrome d'Asperger. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.

Syndrome d'Asperger

Le syndrome d'Asperger Ce syndrome a été nommé d'après les travaux du pédiatre autrichien Hans Asperger qui décrit en 1943 des enfants chez lesquels on constate un déficit de communication non verbale, une diminution de l'empathie, et une maladresse physique[3]. Ces travaux ne furent révélés qu'en 1981 par Lorna Wing[4], puis traduits en anglais par Uta Frith en 1991[5] et connaissent depuis une médiatisation importante. La cause ou les causes exactes du syndrome d'Asperger sont encore inconnues. Lorsque le diagnostic est établi, une prise en charge pluridisciplinaire avec différentes techniques complémentaires est proposée.
