| ARTICLES RELATED TO Picture thinking | | | |  Picture thinking: Encyclopedia II - Asperger syndrome - PrevalenceA 1993 total population study carried out in Sweden found that, at a minimum, 3.6 per 1000 school-aged children definitely meet the criteria for Asperger syndrome. If merely suspected cases are included, the prevalence becomes approximately 7.1 per 1000 (Ehlers & Gillberg). Data for the adult population are not available.
Like other conditions classified as autism spectrum disorders, Asperger syndrome appears to be more prevalent among males than females, with males making up approximately 75-80 percent of diagnoses. Many clinicia ...

| | | | | Picture thinking: Encyclopedia II - Asperger syndrome - Definitions and diagnostic criteria Asperger syndrome is defined in section 299.80 of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) as

| | | | | Picture thinking: Encyclopedia II - Asperger syndrome - Living with Asperger syndrome Asperger syndrome usually leads to problems in social interaction with peers. These can be severe, especially in childhood and adolescence; children with Asperger syndrome often are the target of bullying at school because of their idiosyncratic behavior, language, and interests and because of their lower or delayed ability to perceive and respond in socially expected ways to nonverbal cues, particularly in interpersonal conflict. A child or teen with Asperger syndrome often is puzzled as to the source of this mistreatment, unaware of what h ...

| | | | | Picture thinking: Encyclopedia II - Asperger syndrome - Culture Many people with Asperger syndrome generally refer to themselves in casual conversation as the more affectionate "aspie" or "aspy." Others prefer "Aspergian," "Asperger's autistic," or no name at all. Many who think there is no significant difference between Asperger syndrome and autism because of the spectrum-analogous variances in autism may prefer the term autie or just autistic as a more general term.
To refer to themselves as a group, many people with Asperger syndrome use the term neurodivergent, which comes ...

| | | | | Picture thinking: Encyclopedia II - Asperger syndrome - Relationship to autism Experts generally agree that there is no single condition called autism. Rather, there is a spectrum of autistic disorders, with different forms of autism taking different positions on this spectrum. But in certain circles of the autism community, this concept of a spectrum is being questioned. If differences in development are purely a function of differences in skill acquisition, then attempting to distinguish between degrees of severity may be dangerously misleading. A person may be subjected to unrealistic expectations, or even denied life-saving services, based solely on ve ...

| | | | | Picture thinking: Encyclopedia II - Asperger syndrome - Possible causes and origins The causes and origins of Asperger syndrome are an area of debate and controversy. Current thought among most stipulates that the causes of Asperger syndrome are the same as those of autism. Some disagree, arguing that Asperger syndrome and autism are caused by different things. All of this happens while the broader debate over whether Asperger's and other conditions (such as ADHD) are part of the so-called autism spectrum continues.
Among many competing models proposed to explain autistic behavior (and thus, as many believe, Asperger ...

Asperger syndrome - Asperger syndrome as a social construct.
Some people, including some people diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, argue that Asperger syndrome is a social construct and that, as a category claimed to have a clearly defined neurobiological basis, Asperger syndrome may be analogous to a host of other psychiatric labels such as ADHD, criticized by psychiatrists such as Peter Breggin and Sami Timimi; obsessive compulsive disorder; and clinical depression, ...

| | | | | Picture thinking: Encyclopedia II - Asperger syndrome - A gift and a curse With the increase of Asperger syndrome diagnoses, its image continues to shift from that of a disease to a more complex view of a syndrome with both advantages and disadvantages because there are adults diagnosed with Asperger syndrome or autism who have become quite successful in their fields, possibly as a direct result of intellectual gifts and above-average focus and motivation associated with the syndrome. For example, some prominent Asperger-diagnosed people include Nobel Prize-winning economist Vernon Smith, comedian/actor Dan Aykroyd, BitTorrent creator Bram Cohen, industrial rocker Gary N ...

| | | | | | Picture thinking: Encyclopedia II - Picture thinking - Dimensions of picture thinkers In psychology, picture thinking is often confused with dyslexia, and it is true that people who 'think in pictures' often have difficulty with learning to read, but not all picture thinkers suffer from the normal symptoms associated with dyslexia. Some autistics think in pictures.
Symptoms that most picture thinkers do share are:
Problems remembering abstract chains of letters, like names.
Difficulty in explaining concepts they have invented.
Writing in a very convoluted style.
Natural ability t ...

| | | | | Picture thinking: Encyclopedia II - Picture thinking - Characteristics of visual thinking What a picture thinker is or does is still debated, but some research has been done in the Netherlands where they call picture thinking beelddenken. In particular, the Maria J. Krabbe Stichting is doing research (see link below). Researchers there have developed a method of detecting picture thinking in young children by using the so called "the world game" (het wereldspel).
Picture thinkers, as the word says, think in pictures, not in the linear fashion using language that is normally associated with thinking. Of course this is a simplifi ...
