In 1910, a Swiss psychiatrist first used the word "autistic" to describe the thinking patterns of some schizophrenia patients.
In 1942, Leon Kenner, the father of autism research in the United States, borrowed the word "autistic" and named the disease "autistic disorder of emotional contact" based on the conditions of 11 children.
A Different Pitch charts the development of understanding of autism over a century. This history is not only composed of the research of scholars and pioneers, but also written by the incomprehensible pain and perseverance of countless children and their families. Here, mothers shrug off moral blame, parents push for scientific research, the medical community makes countless attempts to find causes and cures, and the political and legal worlds pave the way for these children to enter regular classrooms.
It is also a history of failure and progress, showing the darkness and light of human nature in the face of unknown threats. Tang Wen and Zucker faithfully recorded the detours and achievements people have taken in a rational way, and told us that this journey is still going on.
Reader comments
Autistic disorder in emotional contact is our understanding of autism. This is the source of painful knowledge and understanding for countless families and children. In the process of understanding, we have freed many parents from self-blame, allowed them to understand the truth, and helped them learn to recognize their children's habits and how to get along with them better. Autism is not entirely caused by psychological problems, but is caused by physical problems, which is also difficult to completely treat. The best approach is courtesy and tolerance.
In my opinion, autism is a very painful and anxious disease. It will be difficult to get rid of this disease for a while. Relatives and friends who accompany autistic patients can only try their best to influence the patients with their patience and love. People with autism often face a range of problems including language and communication difficulties. As they grow, they may encounter problems such as delayed language development, difficulties in language understanding, and barriers to social communication. The author uses more stories to tell us how to communicate with people with autism.
Autism has attracted widespread attention and love from everyone since its emergence. This attention comes from all levels of society and individuals. We are urged to pay more attention to love and respect them. This book is a good example. He tells us the stories of autistic patients from the perspective of themselves, allowing us to empathize with them, so that we can better care and love them, and finally not harm them. It is very worthy for us to read and study.
I don't know if anyone is like me. When reading this kind of book, I keep thinking about whether what the author wrote is correct? The book mainly talks about the development history of autism. I really didn't expect that the development history of autism is so short. It's more than 20 years old. There is also the vaccine theory. I feel that autistic people really have a hard time. It also aroused some curiosity about other diseases, and I felt that they might all proceed slowly like this, step by step through constant mistakes, constant trials and tribulations.
This book touched my heart, it told the story of the struggles of autistic people and their families, and it reminded me of a friend of mine. Her child also has autism, and she has put in a lot of effort and love to help her child slowly integrate into society. This book not only helps us understand autism better, but also allows us to see the light of human nature. Just like "My Heart Sees the World: The Story of Tianbao Grandin", it allows us to have a deeper knowledge and understanding of special groups.
The facts and events described in this book are basically the oral accounts of the parties concerned, detailed written records and reliable third-party accounts. Very instructive!
