Autism

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)

1.Social interaction problems

2.Communication problems

3.Restricted and repetitive behaviors

It is a neurodevelopmental difference manifested by areas of interest and sensory sensitivities.

Children diagnosed with autism, communication and interaction with other people, limited interests, and repetitive behaviors that weaken the person's ability to function properly at school, work and other areas of life

MIRROR NEURONS AND AUTISM

Social communication problems in autism are one of the most defining features of difference. Children diagnosed with autism may be unresponsive to events and people while avoiding eye contact with other people. Although they recognize emotions such as sadness and joy, they may not be able to show empathy towards someone who feels these emotions. . Findings to date confirm this relationship. Because in most of the studies, it has been noted that the neural activity in the brain regions (ventral premotor cortex and rostral of the inferior parietal lobe) assumed to have mirror neuron systems in children diagnosed with autism is lower than in normal control groups. It is thought that the mirror neuron system, which is damaged due to genetics, problems at birth or adverse environmental conditions, may lead to social communication disorders in autism. >

ECOLALI

Echolalia is the person's repetition of phrases such as sounds, words or sentences heard from others.

• INSTANT Echolalia: It occurs as the child immediately repeats the phrases he/she hears.

• DELAYED ECHOLALY: It is the repetition of statements over which time has passed out of context.

In most cases, echolalia means communicating, learning the language or used for language practice. It also shows how the person processes information.

Children with Autism May Use Echolalia for:

• Asking a Question/Answering

• Getting someone's attention

• Stimulating/relieving oneself
