Kya Asperger’s Autism Hai?
Jab aapka baccha autism spectrum par hota hai, aap aksar bohot saare terms sunte hain, jaise ‘Asperger’s’ ya ‘High-Functioning Autism.’ Main bhi ek mother hoon jiska baccha autism spectrum par hai, aur jab maine pehli baar Asperger’s syndrome ke baare mein suna tha, toh mujhe bhi confusion hui thi. Yeh journey thodi confusing ho sakti hai, lekin main aapko apne personal experiences ke through samjhaungi ki Asperger’s syndrome kya hai aur kaise autism spectrum se juda hua hai.
Asperger’s Syndrome Kya Hai?
- Asperger’s syndrome ek type of autism hai. Pehle isko autism spectrum se alag samjha jaata tha, lekin ab experts kehte hain ki Asperger’s autism spectrum disorder (ASD) ka ek part hai.
- Asperger’s mein bacchon ko social interactions mein thoda struggle hota hai, lekin unka IQ normal ya kabhi-kabhi above average bhi ho sakta hai.
- Ek badi baat yeh hai ki Asperger’s syndrome wale bacche verbally strong hote hain, matlab woh words ko achhe se use kar sakte hain, lekin non-verbal communication jaise body language samajhne mein unhe mushkil hoti hai.
Autism Aur Asperger’s Mein Kya Difference Hai?
- Social Challenges: Autism spectrum par jo bacche hote hain, unko bhi social interactions mein struggles hote hain, lekin Asperger’s wale bacche generally more verbal hote hain.
- Intellectual Ability: Asperger’s syndrome wale bacche kaafi smart hote hain, unhe high-functioning autism bhi kaha jaata hai kyunki woh learning mein aage ho sakte hain, lekin unki social skills thodi lacking hoti hain.
- Language Skills: Autism ke kuch types mein bacchon ka speech delay hota hai, lekin Asperger’s mein aisa nahi hota. Bacche jaldi bolna shuru karte hain, bas unka social aur emotional response thoda alag hota hai.
Asperger’s Ke Kuch Common Symptoms:
- Social Skills Mein Struggles: Shayad aap dekhte hain ki aapka baccha doosre bacchon ke saath itna comfortable nahi hai, wo social cues miss karta hai.
- Restricted Interests: Asperger’s wale bacche ek specific topic mein deeply interested hote hain. Jaise mera baccha dinosaurs ke baare mein itni knowledge rakhta hai jitni main bhi nahi rakhti thi.
- Repetitive Behaviors: Bacche ek hi pattern ko baar-baar follow karna pasand karte hain, aur unhe changes se thodi difficulty hoti hai.
- Lack of Understanding Emotions: Asperger’s wale bacche emotions samajhne aur express karne mein thoda struggle karte hain, lekin iska matlab yeh nahi ki unhe pyaar ya dosti nahi chahiye. Unka apna tareeka hota hai feelings ko samajhne ka.
Mere Apne Experiences:
Jab mere bacche ko diagnose kiya gaya Asperger’s ke saath, mujhe samajhne mein waqt laga. Wo itna smart tha, school mein brilliant, lekin social interactions mein wo hamesha awkward feel karta tha. Mujhe dikhayi diya ki wo doosre bacchon ke saath connect nahi kar paa raha, aur uski duniya mein kuch cheezein fix hoti thi – jaise ek hi toy se khelna ya ek hi topic par baatein karte rehna. Maine dheere-dheere is journey ko accept kiya aur therapies aur support ke through uska confidence badhne laga.
