The World Through a Magnifying Glass: The High-Pass Filter Hypothesis for Autism Spectrum Disorders - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

"Thanks to Luca Dellanna for his book about Autism and ASD. It's probably one of the best works I have read in that matter (I have read a few), and it's surprising how realistically he depicts the condition." – Manel Vilar

"Thank you for helping me understand! My son was recently diagnosed, and I needed to be able to understand how he views the world. Why certain things would overwhelm him and cause so much anxiety and pain. This book made it so clear and easy to understand." – Geiger T.

THIS IS THE SECOND EDITION!

A BOOK TO UNDERSTAND AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS

Imagine looking at the world through a magnifying glass all the time, being able to see only one detail at a time, but to see it so well as to be hypnotized by it. Imagine always being slower than everyone around you. Imagine being unable to communicate with others because you are talking about details while they are talking about the big picture. Imagine being so good at seeing the details, yet feel so useless because no one cares about them.

This book is for parents, friends, or anyone related to someone with Autism. For neurologists and psychologists to help them understand the world of ASD. For people on the Spectrum, to help them understand themselves.

Some of the topics covered inside:
- The Magnifying Glass: a metaphor to understand perception under the Spectrum. The reason people on the Spectrum are impaired in contextual fields (such as personal communication) and advantaged in mastering detailed fields (such as computer science).
- Peripheral Functionality Blindness: the reason people on the Spectrum do not develop appropriate body language and facial expressivity.
- Prioritization by Specificity: the reason literal meaning is the only thing that matters for people on the Spectrum.
- The High-Pass filter: a novel hypothesis for the Autism Spectrum Disorder, coherent with previous theories and experimental results.
