自闭症患者如何看待世界

曾有一位男士在妻子的建议下前去就诊。他对特定兴趣表现出高度强迫性的执着,且存在社交互动困难。

随后,他被确诊患有阿斯伯格综合征——该诊断分类现已被美国精神医学学会纳入自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)范畴。

这位男士完全沉浸于两个小众癖好:其一是对警政执法的痴迷。他不仅对犯罪学深感兴趣,后来更攻读了这个专业的学士学位。尽管最终成为制片人而非警察,据称他日常总会随身携带仿制警徽,若缺少此物便会感到”若有所失”。这种特殊癖好在自闭症群体中其实相当典型,通过固定仪式或专注特定事物来获取安全感,是他们应对压力的一种重要方式。

据悉,他甚至时常随身携带仿制警徽作为必备物品,缺少时便会产生”若有所失”的不安感

这种行为在自闭症谱系障碍中相当典型——通过特定迷恋物或仪式化行为获取安定感,是自闭症患者应对压力情境的常见应对机制。

他的另一项癖好则截然不同,深入弥漫着诡异气息的超自然领域。出生于灵媒世家的他,自幼便对幽灵现象产生浓厚兴趣。

“自闭症特质促使他持续强迫性地思索超自然存在的真实性,最终形成了不可动摇的信念体系。

直到1984年,这位男士决定以最擅长的方式将两大癖好融合——他创作了一部电影。这部作品不仅横扫多项好莱坞大奖,更成为家喻户晓的文化符号。

这位被诊断为自闭症谱系障碍的男士,正是Dan Aykroyd。凭借他的非凡创造,如今当人们在邻里间发现异常现象时,都知道该向谁求助。
