Although temple grandin suffered from autism since childhood, he received a master's degree in animal husbandry from Arizona State University and a doctor's degree in animal husbandry from the University of Illinois in 1988. She is one of the few experts who design and build livestock handling equipment. She has published hundreds of academic papers in this field and often travels around to give speeches. This film is based on her autobiography. It tells the story of temple grandin growing up from an autistic child, and how her mother, teachers and others helped her when she was growing up.
Second, the analysis of the film.
1, looking at autism from temples
Professor Leo Kanner, a psychiatrist, published Autism Disorder of Emotional Communication. He clearly pointed out a set of unique characteristics of autistic children: extreme autism and isolation, maintaining identity, excellent mechanical memory ability, late speech imitation, excessive sensitivity to stimuli, limited spontaneous activities and good potential cognitive ability. It is believed that autism is an emotional disorder, which may be related to improper parenting. Their parents and families have higher social status, higher education and higher IQ. Autistic children will have some special abilities, such as extraordinary mechanical memory and mathematical ability. Canner also pointed out that parents of autistic children have some problems in interpersonal communication and personality characteristics, which may be mild symptoms of autism, and then explained this phenomenon as the inheritance of autism.
The heroine in the film shows us these characteristics of autism well. At the beginning of the film, she and her aunt made exaggerated descriptions, and those pictures will keep coming to mind. It can be said that she speaks by pictures, and then the exaggerated way of greeting people at Auntie Farm makes me feel that she doesn't know how to communicate with people. While eating, I observed her legs shaking all the time, staring at the goldfish in the fish tank and insisting on eating only jelly. Insist on putting her name on the door of her room. When she saw that his name was not on the door of her room, she showed strong anxiety. Unfamiliar environment will make her feel insecure.
She has good picture association ability and good memory ability. In the eyes of others, she is a freak. She gets a sense of security and the need for love in a way different from others. She refused to hug, but I think she needs a hug more than anyone else and longs for it. But she is afraid of being hurt, and her sense of protection is stronger than anyone else, so she closes herself in her own world so that no one can hurt her. So, she used an extruder to relax herself. I think the extruder can be said to be a hug in a sense. In a crowded space, it seems that everyone is hugging themselves and isolating themselves from the outside world, which can give Temple the love and security she wants.
In the play, she will react to the conflict more strongly than others. Because a small move may hurt her. So it's easy for her to make excessive behavior to defend herself. When others bully her, she will make a strong attack reaction.
When she came to boarding school in New Hampshire, spinning on the swing made me feel that she was very peaceful. At that time, she made me feel that she was a little girl who needed protection. Besides, she likes being with animals very much. So she is very concerned about animals. I think she has a lot in common with that chestnut. They all use strong aggression to prevent the outside world from approaching, but they all need the care and love of the outside world. When you approach her with love, she won't refuse. Therefore, I think that for autistic children, we can slowly influence them with love, but it takes longer.
From the film, we can't deny that Temple has a high IQ. She has extraordinary learning ability. This may also be one of the most important factors for her success!
2. Treatment of autism
There are many factors that lead to autism: physiological and chemical factors of the brain, environmental factors, cognitive neural theory and genetic factors. At the beginning of the film, the psychologist diagnosed Temple because of his mother's indifference and indifference during the audition, and because Temple needed love when he was a child. In various studies, various treatment methods are put forward: behavioral intervention, communication and language teaching intervention, social ability intervention, game intervention, and intervention to promote emotional and intellectual growth.
Professor carlock is for Temple; Intervention in communication and language teaching, and intervention in promoting emotional and intellectual development. Professor carlock observed that Temple had a strong memory and association ability for pictures and a strong memory. Her intelligence is amazing. She studies with pictures. She insisted on teaching her when all the teachers were going to give up on her. He aroused Temple's interest through the projection of optical illusion, and guided her to science step by step.
It was in this school that Professor carlock's guidance inspired her unremitting pursuit of science. Professor carlock didn't teach her scientific knowledge directly, but guided her to explore, as Confucius said: If you don't get angry, you won't get angry. Finally, he explored it, and her pursuit of science became more confident and firm. Professor klock gave timely rewards and guidance and discovered the potential of a genius.
So when she was in college, she was not allowed to use the extruder in the classroom, but asked the school to prove the use of the extruder she made through her own experiments. While getting good grades, I can also get permission to keep my own extruder in the dormitory.
Later, as a graduate student, she achieved great success and played a great role in the process of her master's thesis. Professor carlock opened a door for her from the beginning, so in later life, she kept going through a door. The most touching thing in the film is that her mother never gave up on her, so that she could get more and better education. In my opinion, my mother is more of an intervention in her social skills, behavior and life. Although she can't cope with social occasions as well as others, she can cope with some small problems in life well. Just like when she was writing a paper, the doorman refused to let her in because she was a woman. But soon, she thought of a way to enter the farm. So she can live on her own. Both her mother and aunt intervened emotionally and socially, thus enabling her to survive in this society.
At the end of the film, my mother was moved to tears. An autistic daughter is willing to give herself a hug, which is the best reward in the world. (From: Bowen Learning Network: Even if Tianpu is not successful, as long as she is willing to give her mother a hug, her mother will feel that she has won the whole world.
Second, reflection and sentiment.
How to treat autism?
First of all, I think getting along with animals can alleviate the anxiety of autistic patients, so as to carry out further intervention and social education. From Temple, we can see her love for animals and her relaxation and pleasure in getting along with animals. Therefore, I think people with autism should have more contact with nature and animals.
In addition, I believe that autism can be cured. Therefore, as teachers, we should not give up any students. For autistic children, we should believe that jellyfish can live and study like normal children and help them with love. Even if we fail in the end, we can still face the result happily.
Secondly, I think most autistic people are caused by lack of love, so one more job we need to do is to educate mothers and prospective fathers to make them realize the importance of love. Prevent the occurrence of children's autism, which is a psychological obstacle that is stifled in the cradle.
Thirdly, I think games are also one of the good ways to treat autism.
I think we can see many ways to treat autism through this movie.
2. Self-awareness
When God closes a door, he will open a window for you.
Temple has extraordinary intelligence, but she has autism that we can't overcome. With the help of my mother and Professor carlock, I slowly got out of autism and achieved success. It reminds me of myself. Although I don't have Temple's extraordinary intelligence, I have normal mind and life ability. She can overcome every obstacle. Why can't I? From Temple, I feel that the biggest obstacle we need to overcome will always come from ourselves. If we can go beyond ourselves and go forward bravely, I believe we can certainly reap a more brilliant life.
