阿斯伯格综合征(Asperger syndrome,AS)是一种以社会交往异常、局限且异常的兴趣行为模式为主要特征的神经系统发育障碍性疾病。家庭在学龄期AS儿童行为规范、学习习惯、社交技能的发展中起着重要作用。不过,大多数心理咨询师或心理治疗师对患儿的特点以及家长应如何帮助患儿不够了解,致使心理咨询或心理治疗存在困难。通过详尽分享作者二十余年对学龄期AS患儿家庭的治疗经验,供同道参考,以共勉。
Asperger syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction along with restricted and abnormal patterns of interests and behavior. Family plays an important role in the development of children’s behavior norms, learning habits, and social interaction skills around school age. However, challenges remain in psychological counseling and therapy because the majority of psychological counselors and therapists have insufficient understanding of the characteristics of the children with Asperger syndrome and inadequate knowledge of parental help for the children. This article, in vast detail, shares the author’s 20-odd year treatment experience of families that had children with Asperger syndrome around school age.
