But it's not the same disease as asberger.

What does high functioning autism mean?
High functioning autism accounts for 10% of autism. Its symptoms are very similar to Asperger's syndrome, but also different. For example, Asperger's syndrome has an active attitude towards making friends, while high functioning autism belongs to self sealing. There is no obvious language barrier in Asperger's syndrome, but there is obvious language barrier in high functional autism. Asperger's syndrome is significantly different from high functioning autism in sports.
At present, the etiology and pathogenesis are not very clear, which may be related to mental stimulation of pregnant women or family environment stimulation of children after birth. The main pathogenesis is that after the stimulation of the central nervous system, the normal blood supply function of the cerebral vessels has changed, resulting in the imbalance of the blood supply of the brain tissue. Brain cells with good blood supply develop rapidly and have strong function, while those with insufficient blood supply develop slowly and have insufficient function. In this way, the relative balance between brain cells is broken, and some are over excited, and some are over inhibited. This leads to autism in children.
The clinical manifestations of autism in children: 1. Loneliness and separation, not communicating with others: that is, lack of communication with others. Some children show this characteristic from infancy. For example, they don't like to be held by their parents when they are young. When people want to hold them, they don't stretch out their hands to show the posture of expecting to hold them. They don't take the initiative to play with their children. When others want to play with them, they show avoidance and don't respond to calls. They always like to play by themselves. Although some children do not refuse others, they do not communicate with children, that is, they lack social communication skills. For example, when looking for a child, they either take a photo, or pull someone, or suddenly go to hug someone, and then go away by themselves. It seems that taking a photo or pulling someone is not to contact someone, but just an action, or there is only one form of contact, Without the content and purpose of the contact person.
matters needing attention
Professionals with knowledge of children's psychological development can identify their abnormalities. However, compared with most autistic children with low cognitive level, poor social adaptability and poor self-care ability, they have higher function, so they are called "high functional autism". However, even in this group of children, they will have some problems in the later stage of their academic career. This may be due to the overall influence of social and behavioral characteristics.
