How does China view autism? (Just a small sample.)

Post Reply New Topic

I understand now. icyfire4w5 has shown me that the reason I'm autistic is because of my weak heart and liver. The heart controls speech which is why I only speak in weak beating noises instead of loud ones like everyone else. My liver is also busy cleansing my blood of impurities instead of performing its actual function of maintaining muscle tone and visual clarity. My spleen isn't even nourishing my brain. The Chinese's knowledge of autism seems similar to how I would think the Romans and ancient Egyptians would have viewed autism. Backward cultures are humorous.

In Chinese stories of olden times, there are always characters who are mute but not deaf. Maybe they were autistic.

In Chinese culture or what I know of it, socializing is not considered as important as it is in Western culture. Instead, intellectual and academic ability are paramount, so Chinese culture can be a good environment for autistic children with above average intelligence. However, it is probably not good for other autistic children, as they are considered hopeless idiots, just as they are in Western culture.

The real question is does it work?

This is not exactly true. Introversion is socially acceptable, and not showing emotion is considered a good thing. But it's still very important to have friends and connections and to be able to follow customs. Overall, however, it is easier for someone with mild Asperger's to fit in and harder for someone with more severe autism to get help vs. the West. What women look for is different than in the West, but the differences work to both the advantage and disadvantage of aspie males.

I would probably generalize like this:
Low emotional intelligence is considered acceptable if you have high intellectual ability. Otherwise, you are an idiot.

some parent literally consider to kill their autism child.and call out the demand of legalized this kind of behavior.


and some wife try to runaway from home ,because she had a autism child.

In China, relationships are very important in success. If one cannot make connections, it would be very difficult to advance, no matter how intelligent one is. The saying, "It isn't what you know; it's who you know," definitely applies in China. In any case, development is very stilted without the ability to make friendships.
