Ningbo 8-year-old boy was dropped out of 11 schools one after another for the same reason as Van Gogh's' genius disease '. What's more unexpected is that Newton, Einstein, Beethoven and other famous people are all patients with "genius disease" in history. They generally have high IQ, but they have social barriers, which is a headache.
At first glance, the 8-year-old Liangliang (pseudonym) is a likeable little girl. He is lively and likes to laugh, and his academic performance is good. However, he was only in the second grade of primary school. He has been ordered to drop out from three kindergartens and eight primary schools, and every time he was asked by his parents in joint name because of 'inappropriate behavior'.
What can 8-year-old children do? Recently, in the Department of Pediatrics and children's Department of Ningbo Kangning hospital, bright parents poured out their bitterness to doctors.

Eight year old boy changed 11 schools in a few years
Bright parents are teachers. They want to cry when they mention their son.
Bright facial features, good physical development, people are also very lively, often with a smile on his face, mathematics often test full marks, Chinese are also more than 90 points. Who would have thought that kids who look perfect like this actually have a lot of problems.
Small bright questions include:
I didn't like to see people's eyes when I was a child, sometimes I would glance at each other when my mother asked me again and again. I didn't act coquettish and ask for help when I was a child. I spoke late and acted a little bit clumsy than the average child. I liked to talk about frogs when I was older. I could talk about frogs for half a day whether they liked listening or not.
After kindergarten, there are more and more bright problems.
What led him to be rejected repeatedly by the school was the way he interacted with other children. Obviously, he wanted to play with others but didn't know how to speak. Instead, he talked to others through slapping. As a result, he developed into two children fighting.
Later, Liang Liang threatened other students to play with him. If the students didn't obey him, he would beat them up.
Several times, it aroused public anger. The children pushed him out and the parents protested together. Parents also gradually realize that their children may be sick, rather than what we call "bear children".
The mother told the doctor that not long ago, in order to take care of the children and facilitate the care of the children, she quit her job.
The mother and the son spend a lot of time alone, but when they are mothers, they always feel that their son is not close to them, and they seem to care little about him, let alone some close interaction. 'if not for his normal daily communication and learning ability, I doubt that he is autistic. "Said Mom.

Liang Liang was diagnosed as a 'genius disease'
Cheng Fang, a paediatrician, was interviewed. A paper of diagnosis surprised bright parents: his son is really a child with autism, and not the general autism.
'people are familiar with the autism of low function. Children have difficulties in communication and intelligence. The whole person may be wooden. The child's condition belongs to Asperger's syndrome, a specific form of high-function autism. 'according to Dr. Cheng, some studies have suggested that many famous doctors in the world are also patients with Asperger's syndrome, so there is another name for this disease, the gifted disease.
Although the name of genius disease is pleasant, it can't cover up the cruelty of disease itself. Patients with Asperger's syndrome will have the following symptoms:
Interpersonal difficulties. Patients have a strong desire to communicate with others, but they lack the corresponding skills. Their communication methods are rigid, rigid and stylized, and they can not understand the nonverbal information such as expression, eye color and body movements. Therefore, patients are often not welcome, and can not flexibly respond to scene changes, it is difficult to integrate into the group, establish and maintain good interpersonal relationships.
The gap between ideal and reality, in turn, will make patients work harder to communicate with others in their own way, thus forming a vicious circle.
Language communication is difficult. Patients can speak and express themselves fluently, but they can't communicate with people effectively.
He doesn't know what observation is, and he doesn't adjust his expression according to other people's reactions. He will also insist on expressing what he wants to express regardless of whether the other party is interested or not. Take Liangliang as an example, he just said that the frog is long and the frog is short.
In addition, the patients themselves will use a lot of written language, which gives people a sense of rigour and rigidness. At the same time, they can't understand the humorous metaphorical pun words and sentences when the other party is grounded.
Stereotyped behavior patterns. This is similar to low functioning autism. Some patients have to eat the same food, walk the same route and use the same items every day. If there is a slight change, they may be upset.
Or have some strange hobbies. Such as the train timetable, the name of the lottery winner, the height of the mountain or the building, etc.
In addition, exercise is often the short board of patients with Asperger's syndrome. They may learn to ride bicycles, play ball, etc. later than their peers. Moreover, their actions always give people the feeling of clumsiness and strangeness, and there are significant defects in the way of visual movement coordination.

"Genius disease" can only be improved but not cured
It is generally believed that Asperger's syndrome is related to heredity, but it can not completely exclude environmental factors, such as mother's mood during pregnancy. The incidence in boys is several times that in girls, so some scholars think that the incidence is related to androgen.
At present, the disease can only be improved and can not be cured, and the earlier the intervention, the better the effect. Children with Asperger's syndrome need to be trained in interpersonal relationship promotion, behavior correction, cognitive training, emotional regulation and so on.
Experts suggest that people should understand, tolerate and accept such children. We should know that their problem is not mischievous, not mental disorder, not teacher education fault, but they have a special brain.
In particular, parents should adjust their cognition and know that children with Asperger's syndrome may have unique talents, but 80% of them can't achieve the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, body, beauty and labor expected by parents. Especially in social aspect, parents can guide and tell him the meaning of a certain body movement, but they can't expect their children to be as good as fish in water and as smart as fish.
'rather than forcing a child to do something he doesn't like, encourage him to develop his own hobbies and tailor training plans for him so that their interests and talents can be better presented. "Dr. Cheng revealed that he once visited a child with Asperger's syndrome, who was very talented in astronomy. Later, as a special student, he entered the school, and the teacher was very optimistic about him. He thought that he would be fully qualified for the research in this field in the future." some children have the hope to become top talents in some fields. '
