What are the different ways of thinking among people with autism from ordinary children, and how do they think? You will know after reading it!
.
✅1. It is difficult to understand information in series
Autistic people can understand that everyone needs to wear clothes, and they can also sense the cold and cold, but they don’t care about why they need to add clothes when they are cold and reduce clothes when they are hot. Their world is composed of a series of unconnected experiences, often with little clarity on the causes, meanings, concepts and principles behind the events.
Tips: In daily life, parents should use more straightforward and clear methods to help autistic children sort out the connections between various events.
.
✅2. Preference details
When ordinary people are exposed to new things and learn new skills, they tend to understand the overall overview first and then examine the details. Autistic people prefer to observe the details first and then observe the overall.
For example, when crossing the road, they may pay too much attention to the rope hanging on the roadside and ignore the buses coming from the opposite side.
Tips: When intervening at home, if you want children to concentrate on specific things, you must pay attention to environmental settings and eliminate interference factors. In addition, parents can design different learning methods based on the children's own learning characteristics. For children who prefer visual details, the narration part can be reduced during teaching and visual guidance can be added.

✅3. Sensitive to external stimuli and easy to distract
Autistic people are easily distracted by surrounding sensory stimuli. For example, when doing homework, they will stare at the pencil on the table and forget to study; no matter what happens outside the window, they will stop and take a look.
Attention is easy to be distracted, making it difficult for them to adapt to regular long-term classrooms, but at the same time they also have more active thinking and can quickly switch to focus on goals and learn goals.
Tips: In daily life, parents should strengthen attention training.
.
✅4. Only understand the literal meaning
Autistic people find it difficult to understand abstract concepts and are used to understanding the information they come into contact with through literal meanings.
For example, if you ask patients with autism how to understand "early birds eat insects." They might say, "Birds who get up early can catch bugs and eat them."
.
✅5. Acceptance
Autistic people are very good at understanding single events or concepts. Integrating multiple concepts is more challenging for them, especially interconnected but seemingly contradictory ideas.
Tips: Autistic people will implement the concept they agree with to the end, with clear distinction between likes and dislikes, sincere and frank.
.
✅6. Single-line thinking
Autistic people are generally not good at organizing and planning more complex activities, and are difficult to deal with matters with more participants and more steps. Therefore, a clear visual image and activity flow chart will be helpful for children with autism.
.
✅7. It is difficult to learn from one example and apply it to
. They can understand the literal meaning of the rules, but ignore their essence, and it is difficult to apply the knowledge they have learned to different scenarios. For example, they learn to brush their teeth with a white toothbrush, but are reluctant to use a red toothbrush to brush their teeth. They learned to wipe the table, but they didn't know how to wipe the glass.
