1. Our world requires nerve diversified thinkers.

2. There are three known types related to expert thinking related to autism: visual thinking, moderators, and language thinking.

3. Each type has many advantages and strong adaptability.

More and more people are aware of the importance of leaving space for patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Dr. Temple Grandin was diagnosed with autism during his childhood. Her TED speech "The World Needs All Kinds of Minds" has been highly evaluated 12 years ago.

Today, she still affirmed this concept in the recent telephone interview: "Yes, this world definitely needs various types of minds, especially those with autism." Dr. Grandine in her new book in her new book "Visual Thinking" further discussed this view.

The reality is that many people's thinking is great, and no one's thinking is the same. We need different minds of mind than ever to deal with continuous problems: climate change, inequality in medical care, infectious diseases, and so on. Moreover, Dr. Grandine emphasized to us: "cooperation is the key".

Generally speaking, autism patients tend to understand the world in a lower way. Imagine that you are making a puzzle, all the pieces are blank -you can only see each shape and how they are combined. However, once you complete the entire puzzle, the picture will appear. This is a typical example of thinking from the bottom up, because the details appear first in the "overall picture". This kind of thinking usually has the characteristics of autism patients, and can bring to establish a conventional connection and come up with a new problem solution.

There are three certain types of thinking related to autism: visual thinking, patterns, and verbal thinkers -each has its corresponding advantages and challenges.

Our world is not established for people with nervousness. Therefore, these special thinking traits are often considered a challenge they are facing, not their unique advantages. In addition, the visual, pattern, and speech -type thinking are supplemented with each other -a person may be challenged in a certain aspect, and on the other hand, it may be very advantageous. Providing space for different types of people means optimizing their corresponding talents and promoting acceptance of nerve diversity.

Visual thinking

The clearest special thinking form of autism patients is visual thinking. Visual thinking people usually have creativity and hypersonicity, and can process information through realistic image.

Dr. Grandine herself is a famous visual thinking. She describes her thinking as "Internet search engine". In other words, her thinking is like searching for pictures on Google, and she can locate the target thoughts represented by the picture through a huge database. This ability to think with pictures makes people may remember a lot of visual information, invent a complex system, and make advanced simulation in the mind.

The strong visual ability of visual thinking has its neurology foundation. In the Grandine brain's HD fiber tracking (HDFT) map, the researchers found that she was 10 times larger than the neurons from visual cortex to motor cortex. This enhanced connection shows that her visual space processing and memory ability are relatively strong.

Visual thinking also has incredible space awareness, creativity, and visual memory. These skills will naturally be transformed into success in the field of visual art and industrial design. Because visual thinkers are limited in terms of abstract thinking and mathematics, this means that they complement each other with model thinkers. Moderators

Mode is the ability to perceive meaningful patterns in obvious meaningless data. Model thinkers refer to those who touch the world through models.

This type of person is good at model -based fields such as music and mathematics. Therefore, patterns thinkers usually have strong details, mathematical skills and model recognition power. The advantages of this type of thinking make pattern thinkers particularly suitable for occupations involving big data, statistics and formulas. Robots, engineering, computer science, statistics, and music are all areas where moderate thinking can develop.

Although pattern thinking is very talented in Lenovo and model -based tasks, the inconsistency of adapting to the environment may be a huge challenge for them.

A case of a case of young students with autism shows that the modeles of thinking can benefit from specific experience models, such as intangible experience, such as good and bad behaviors, and reconstruction into specific behavioral management points. system.

For example, a young modeles named Devin can get points through positive behaviors of the day, and then rewarded the reward through points. This personalized behavior system reduces Devin's collapse in class and improves the quantity and quality when he works alone.

Model thinkers have an incredible ability, such as playing music with the ears or performing mental calculations similar to the savior to identify the relationship that others cannot recognize. Model thinkers are generally challenged in reading and writing, because it is difficult to obtain a fixed model in these behaviors. Therefore, the defects of the patterns thinner are supplemented by language thinkers.

Speechman

It is estimated that 25%to 30%of people with autism are weak or uncomfortable. This may explain why the information about autistic words thinking is so rare.

Speech thinner refers to autism patients who only think in text details. Therefore, speech -minded people have strong abilities in retaining speech facts, learning language, and communication complex information. They have a soft spot for facts and statistics, and they are often good at preparing written data (such as teaching manuals, public transport timetables, etc.).

They are particularly skilled in logical consistency, because in their minds, cognition is formed by the consensus structure of language. Speech thinners often have a strong interest in the fields of history, geography, statistics, and linguistics. If they use their unique interests and advantages, they may emerge in writing or sketches since childhood.

However, because they rely on text to conceptualize, there are certain difficulties in imagination and visual thinking in words. As Grandine thinks, "If I have no pictures, I have no thoughts." Similarly, speech thinkingists lack the ability to deal with non -language information.

Therefore, this obstacle of speech thinking can be supplemented by the visual ability of visual thinking.

We want to emphasize that, in contrast to the popular statement, great thinking will not have the same ideas. Due to the long -term understanding of "normal" thinking, our world tends to look at them from the perspective of responding to challenges in patients with autism.

We will reshape our views on "great thoughts" so that we can leave room for all types of thoughts. By understanding their obstacles and optimizing their advantages, they will help them flourish. We must let everyone participate, including those with autism to solve the longest problem in the world.

Great thoughts will not have the same idea. Great minds will think in different ways. Tolerance, acceptance, and cooperation with these people are crucial, because the world does need all kinds of people.
