Abstract

Aspergerov sindrom predstavlja jedan od poremećaja unutar spektra autizma. Karakterizira ga nedostatak socijalno – komunikacijskih vještina te neuobičajeno usko područje interesa, uz prisustvo stereotipnih oblika ponašanja. Ovo stanje je specifično zbog odsustva značajnih problema u verbalnom razvoju, često pokazuje prosječne ili iznadprosječne intelektualne sposobnosti. Klasifikacija se kroz povijest mijenjala, tako da danas Aspergerov sindrom pripada u kategoriju poremećaja iz spektra autizma. Aspergerov sindrom najčešće se dijagnosticira u djetinjstvu, no može se dijagnosticirati i u odrasloj dobi. Važno je rano identificirati Aspergerov sindrom zbog unapređenja jezičnih vještina i socijalnih interakcija, poboljšanja prilagodbe ponašanja, što će rezultirati smanjenjem neželjenih oblika ponašanja. Također je važno da odgojitelji, stručnjaci, rehabilitatori, budu educirani o ovom sindromu kako bi znali pristupiti djetetu s razumijevanjem. Postoje razne terapijske metode podrške koje pomažu u inkluziji djeteta u odgojno – obrazovni sustav te su u ovom radu navedeni neki od njih. Važan trenutak za roditelje je suočavanje s dijagnozom, jer se tada moraju naučiti prilagoditi djetetu. Stoga je važno da i roditelji osjete podršku i razumijevanje stručnjaka.

Abstract (english)

Asperger's syndrome is one of the disorders within the autism spectrum.
It is characterized by a lack of social and communication skills and an unusually narrow area of interest, along with the presence of stereotyped forms of behavior.
This condition is specific due to the absence of significant problems in verbal development, often times showing average or above average intellectual abilities. The classification has changed throughout history. Nowadays, Asperger's syndrome belongs to the category of autism spectrum disorders. Asperger's syndrome is most often diagnosed in childhood, but it can also be diagnosed in adulthood. It is important to identify Asperger's syndrome early on since improved language skills, social interactions, and improved behavioral adaptation results in a reduction of unwanted forms of behavior, making it difficult to diagnose the disease later on.
It is of outmost importance that educators, specialists, and rehabilitators are educated about this syndrome so that they know how to approach the child with a sufficient level of understanding. There exist various therapeutic methods of support that help in the inclusion of the child in the educational system, and some of them are listed in this paper. An important moment for parents is the moment when they face the diagnosis, because at that moment they have to learn to adapt to the child.
Therefore, it is important that parents also receive and feel the support and understanding of experts.
