A Step Closer to Solving the Maze of Human Brain
There will always be a desire to comprehend how the human brain functions. We find it fascinating and puzzling at the same time. Each neuron in the human brain is connected to 10,000 additional neurons, totaling around 100 billion. Although linguists, psychologists, and neuroscientists have spent years trying to crack its codes, they have so far just scratched the surface.
Each person's brain is different in how it sees the outside environment, creates biases, and develops strategies for interacting with it. Researchers are learning that the factors influencing human behaviour and language are complex the more they study the topic. How would you feel if you suddenly lost the ability to communicate with others through words?
One such illness that impacts learning, behaviour, and communication is autism, often known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Autism is typically defined as a developmental disability characterised by difficulties in social interaction and repetitive behaviours. A wide range of behavioural traits, including poor eye contact, compulsive behaviour, repetitive acts or phrases, and poor social skills, can be seen in people. Some telltale indicators of autism include speech delays, limited or intense interest in one thing, and hyperactivity. Both depression and a lack of empathy are rather typical.
The severity and spectrum of autism symptoms actually vary, and each person on the spectrum has a unique personality and mode of expression. The diagnosis of autism is frequently challenging due to the autism spectrum's fuzzy boundaries. A number of other neurological and psychological diseases also exhibit autistic characteristics, which further complicates the situation. People who are on the margins are thus either over diagnosed or undetected and classified as having psychiatric problems. People with autism spectrum disorders, for instance, may completely lack spoken language or may speak excessively. Compared to traditional black and white, their perspective of the world can be significantly crisper, vaguer, or much more colourful.
Unfortunately, in India, only 12.5 percent of participants are actually aware of ASD. We need to re-educate ourselves and embrace all forms and variations of the human mind to create a more inclusive society for people on the spectrum. There is a need to embrace cognitive flexibility on either side of the spectrum.
