Each child is a world, even if they are twins, each one creates their own personality as they grow up. What makes neces that they need a personalized stimulation , since they are not motivated by the same things.These differences can be exacerbated when children have Asperger's syndrome. We know that these children have characteristic features such as:
difficulties for social skills ,problems in the use of language for communicative purposes , behavioral characteristics related to repetitive traits in the face of excessive sensory stimulation, a limited range of interests ...How stimulate children with Asperger's Syndrome
But at the same time, children with Asperger's Syndrome have differential abilities and habits, which can serve as a tool to capture their attention to stimulation. Focusing on precisely those aspects in which they present difficulties. That is,
habits such as order, methodical and logical , along with skills, some of them frequent in these children such as: mathematics, puzzles or constructions can become a way of approach and socialization.Once again,
the game can become the most effective source of stimulation for children, but especially in the case of Asperger's Syndrome, it can be the gateway to the introversion of these children. Some children with peculiarities in communication and social relationships, which although it hinders socialization, does not prevent them from having extraordinary qualities like any child. These qualities are what we have to enhance through stimulation, which in this case is facilitated through the game
. Appropriate means of approach to emphasize with these children and where the interaction ends up becoming reciprocal.It may sometimes cost a child participation in the park or school, since as we said at the beginning,
the excess of sensory stimulation tends to cause discomfort and saturation hechos, facts that they reduce through repetitive movements and internalization of themselves, behavior that we should not find strange since it is their defense mechanism against external sensory hypersensitivity. That is why it is appropriate to carry out a progressive stimulation, starting from that activity that you like to do and continuing to expand the field of active participation with other children. It is important to respect your space as well as the rhythm of participation, that will facilitate an evolution in social and communication skills. Thewelfare and comfort of children
facilitates the learning process and the accommodation of new habits, which in this case, would emphasize in the social sphere, but without neglecting personal and educational enrichment.
