Cause analysis of special needs children

　　城市化因素现代化的生活是以城镇化为主要特征的，城镇化进程的加快在带来人类文明的同时，对孩子的成长也带来了许多不利影响。

　　城市中人口高度集中，流动人口众多，社会关系复杂多变，这些对儿童的情绪健康发展影响很大。

　　城市多以单元式的楼房环境为主，它具有\"封闭式\"的特点：天地狭小，离群索居，水电气声相通，老死不相往来，这就大大限制了儿童与社会接触的时间和空间；容易使儿童孤陋寡闻，形成孤独、离群、依赖、忧郁、不善交际等性格弱点；住房拥挤，视野狭窄，会影响儿童心胸的发展。

　　城市环境变化迅速，以致儿童无法自我调节；高层建筑林立，交通拥挤繁忙，声响喧嚣杂乱；绿化面积减少、空气污染重，给儿童带来不小的心理压力；高大的建筑群、宽阔的街道，常使人产生相对渺小、悲观和自卑的感受；噪声、色彩、眩光、人流、车水马龙，使人紧张焦躁不安；钢铁、混凝土设施，使人产生软弱无能和压抑的感受。

　　现代城市生活交通便利、物质丰富、精神文化生活丰富多采，这容易给儿童带来较大的优越感，相对地造成城市儿童自信心和自尊心过强，然而却意志薄弱，挫折容忍力较低，一遇挫折或受到打击，就情绪反常或反映激烈，难以抑制。

　　现代城市的孩子：

　　吃精制食物，娇弱的胃口让他们厌恶颐养劳动体魄的粗蔬和五谷--体质瘦弱与肥胖；穿漂亮衣服，卫生的观念将他们隔绝于孕育了万物的风雨和泥土--感觉统合失调；居高楼大厦，远离儿童游戏、远离儿童天然的集体主义--孤独；出门就坐车，闲置起造物主为行走而赋予人类的双脚--运动不足能看到汽车和钱，看不到日出的磅礴和日落的辉煌，看不到地平线的壮美--心胸狭窄；天天听到机械声和叫卖声，听不到鸟儿的啼叫、林子的簌响、河水的吟唱--缺乏情感陶冶；可以在商店买到各种糖果，但不可以摘下树上的果实--收获感的失落；可以得到各种电动玩具，但无处可以捉到一只星斑的天牛和金龟子--远离自然；现代的孩子天天诚惶诚恐看的是大人的脸色，而不是怡然自得地观察四季的颜色--无名的焦虑；一切事情家里已经做妥，唯一能做的事是给大人挣回点面子--期望的压力；不再听奶奶讲狼和小羊的故事因为家家都有好看的彩色电视机--缺乏亲子情感交流；吃不到带露水的蔬菜和不含激素的鸡蛋，可以呼吸到机器排出的气体--生活环境恶化；吃饭之前要吃大把的钙片和维生素，出门之前要听妈妈反复交代的注意车、注意坏蛋、注意….--社会环境不安；似乎天天睡觉，但没哪次不是被闹钟闹醒--睡眠休息不足从来不愁吃，餐桌上有的是大棚的蔬菜、吃催肥剂长大的肉类、吃激素长大的鱼类，但没尝过自然\"绿色\"食物的滋味--饮食质量下降仿佛天天过年，但不理解过年有啥好玩儿的--没有期盼及其满足后的激情释放；勇敢体现在摔家里的东西以及和爸爸妈妈顶嘴，在老师目前温顺得像小绵羊一样--双重人格；派头体现在一身的名牌、开生日PARTY，哪管父母下岗在街上叫卖--缺乏同理心和体谅；成熟体现在上小学就开始谈恋爱，但对\"什么是爱\"缺乏真正的理解--情感饥渴；现代孩子不谈学习活泼可爱，面对书本只有发呆--厌学；现代孩子从成人世界学到各种道理，无法在自然界获得一些启示--缺乏实践；会按图示垒起精美的积木，再也造不出一把木枪和苇笛--没有创新；现代孩子生活在五彩缤纷的世界里，而童年的记忆却是没有色彩--民族的悲哀！

Children with autism: amygdala is the culprit

China Daily website message why children with autism can\'t look to others, even their own parents or teachers? United States scientists published on 6th, a new study has found, this is because they have a special area in the brain, signals with a threatening face judgment from others, eliciting an overreaction.

Autism is the most common mental disorders in children, sick children and others there is a communication barrier. Dare not look into the faces of others, or eye contact with others, are obvious symptoms of autism in children. United States researchers at the University of Wisconsin in the new issue of the papers published in nature neuroscience said, they track eye movements and various regions of the brain activity of children, found that when children with autism when watching someone else\'s face, the brain is responsible for judging foreign threatening visual signals in the amygdala region of unusually active, trigger negative emotions. Since then due to illness of children removed from the eye, is responsible for judging others face visual signals in the brain of fusiform face area is active enough.

And for normal children, they face up to the others face does not cause the amygdala area when active, fusiform face area can handle enough Visual information, to judge other people\'s faces. Prior to this had been considered by the medical profession, cannot look others in children with autism, there is because the fusiform face area of the brain dysfunction, University of Wisconsin reveals the latest research results, amygdala is the \"culprit\".

This study includes two comparative experiments. In the first experiment, researchers in children with autism and normal children watch two face photos respectively, is an expression of excitement, the other is a normal expression, and then let the children photo expressions judged separately, at the same time researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging observation on children\'s brain activity and track eye movement of children.

In the second experiment, the researchers let the children watch respectively facial photographs of familiar and unfamiliar people, observing their brain and eye movement. Two experiments show that, regardless of what type of face photographs of children with autism have similar fear reactions, while the normal reaction varies.

Professor Richard Davidson believes that this research under the auspices, amygdala dysfunction in children with autism, will face judgment of anyone they see as a threat, fear of brain response forced child afraid to face the other person. The research results provide new clues for treatment of autism. At the same time, because autism is the most with hereditary mental illness, new research results prompted scientists thinking whether it is a genetic origin.

Age of stick warning: greeting words such as idiot, invalidity and complete abandonment

2004 held recently disclosed years Symposium on Guangdong and Hong Kong, Macao and rehabilitation services for mentally handicapped persons, founded the National Federation of Guangdong Province at the end of next year ago first provincial intellectual disability assessment centre to harmonize standards certified mentally handicapped and to provide scientific services. In the new standard in intellectual disability evaluation, \"idiot\" \"disabled\" and other words will be abandoned completely, instead of the exception is an intelligent and neutral term abnormal social activities. (According to the November 18 of the southern Metropolitan daily)

Read the news, a civilization of new ideas blowing. Maybe some people will say, \"occasionally, unintentional injury, all for love\". In order to describe the State of disability, with a few words is nothing, not on purpose. But civilization should be with the times and progress. Early in 1984, the occasion of the China Foundation for disabled persons was established, in order to reflect the real humanitarian, as Chairman of the Federation of Deng and a few colleagues are determined to eliminate the community at that time called---against persons with disabilities persons with disabilities. They believed that Homer from abroad to Sun Bin of China, Sima Qian as well as modern Abing, who made great contributions in the history of mankind the great men and famous, how can you say they are \"useless\"? Finally they decided to call this objective groups for people with disabilities.

Rising time for so many years, \"disability\" and the term is not \"waste\", similar discriminatory words was Enron hiding out in a number of laws and regulations, India into the tens of thousands of form.

Neighboring Japan is discriminatory wording with respect to disability is no longer used. And treatment of persons with disabilities using Word progress has considerable impetus from all sides. In September of this year Japan of the Sankei Shimbun reported that Japan in the elderly \"dementia\" a lot of people (Japan was an ageing country), the Japan Ministry believes that \"dementia\" meaning of the word with insults, lack of respect and care for the elderly, have been pushing to change the name to call. The province decided to launch 6 alternative disease names on their own Web page (cognitive disorder, cognitive impairment, amnesia, memory and Alzheimer\'s disease, memory disorder syndrome), let you select.

Japan actively practices of the relevant departments, our community should do more to, there are many places that need improvement. We seem to be accustomed to the life of persons with disabilities in terms of demanding, unchanged for many years. Like millions of people focus on the Spring Festival Gala, actor to essays satirical uncivilized people also officially made, laughter in the waves of people do not feel the slightest surprised. Is it not a crime?

Fortunately, the Guangdong Federation had done a little work, next bar who is going to pick? We as a community, who will be doing more, which organizations will do better? Crying in the whole society in the pursuit of economic interests, even screamed times, also a dash of people remember concerned have seriously marginalized disability groups, even a glimmer of tender eyes?
