'Music releases autistic children from their chains' Music and autism. Is there a special relationship between autism and music? Autism and autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) are characterised by abnormalities in social interactions and communication and restrictive or repetitive behaviours. Music may play an important in the lives of people with autism - either through therapy or the special talents some display. Music therapy has become an increasingly popular treatment for ASDs.

Therapies aim to improve self-awareness and awareness of others. It may also provide an opportunity to explore the expression of emotions. There is some evidence that music can improve children's socialisation, particularly their communication skills. Anecdotally, positive responses have been reported by therapists and parents. It has also been suggested that people with autism have a particular affinity with music. Musical savants typically have perfect pitch.

Hedgehog's Dilemma. Both Arthur Schopenhauer and Sigmund Freud have used this situation to describe what they feel is the state of individual in relation to others in society. The hedgehog's dilemma suggests that despite goodwill, human intimacy cannot occur without substantial mutual harm, and what results is cautious behavior and weak relationships.

With the hedgehog's dilemma, one is recommended to use moderation in affairs with others both because of self-interest, as well as out of consideration for others. The hedgehog's dilemma is used to explain introversion and isolationism. Schopenhauer[edit] The concept originates in the following parable from the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer's Parerga und Paralipomena, Volume II, Chapter XXXI, Section 396:[1] A number of porcupines huddled together for warmth on a cold day in winter; but, as they began to prick one another with their quills, they were obliged to disperse.

How many parents are pulling their hair out from all the incident reports they are getting regarding their kid’s behavior in school? How many Aspergers kids dread going to school because they don’t know what they are going to do wrong next? How many teachers are having nightmares about their next school day because they don’t know how to handle what their Aspie students may be serving up today in terms of their behavior?

Today I’m going to share some autism spectrum facts and strategies that will make things a lot easier for you as a parent, teacher, or as an Asperger’s student. Social behavior mapping contains these answers. As teachers and parents, we often approach children with Asperger’s with a purely behavioral approach. Unfortunately, we parents and teachers also assume that kids completely understand all the social rules and expectations of different situations. Here’s an example of a social behavior map which you can download for free. Developing a Social Skills Curriculum.

Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's syndrome explained for children. Asperger Syndrome Information Page. Asperger syndrome (AS) is a developmental disorder. It is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), one of a distinct group of neurological conditions characterized by a greater or lesser degree of impairment in language and communication skills, as well as repetitive or restrictive patterns of thought and behavior. Other ASDs include: classic autism, Rett syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (usually referred to as PDD-NOS).

Unlike children with autism, children with AS retain their early language skills. The most distinguishing symptom of AS is a child’s obsessive interest in a single object or topic to the exclusion of any other. Children with AS want to know everything about their topic of interest and their conversations with others will be about little else. Children with AS are isolated because of their poor social skills and narrow interests. Aspies For Freedom. Asperger syndrome. 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.

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.
