AUTISM = "no drive to explore"
Experts point out that unlike normal people, the severely autistic lack
the urge to explore the world. Hmm. This could explain a few things about certain posters in these newsgroups, who claim to lack a drive to explore. "And how do you educate severely autistic children? How do you teach those who, for the most part, have no language, and no particular compulsion to acquire it, who are BORN WITHOUT THE NEED TO EXPLORE THE WORLD, who would rather spin round and round in a circle, or do the same jigsaw over and over again, than play games with their peers, who won't make eye-contact, or copy, and who fight bitterly (and sometimes literally, with nails and teeth and small fists) for the right to remain sealed in their own world?" - Nick Hornby, renown expert on autism http://www.penguin.co.uk/static/cs/u...ouse/swta.html |
