- Autism is a neurological developmental disorder of information processing and dynamic intelligence. Core deficits of autism include;
Experience sharing; this is the unique aspect of human interaction, we want to share our feelings, perceptions, thoughts, plans, past, emotional reactions, intended actions. People with autism find this very difficult.
Appraisal; how we find meaning in every day life and finding the best fit solution. People with autism may get stuck on information that is not meaningful.
Episodic memory; this is a personal representational memory of an event tied with emotions and unique meaning for a person. People with autism usually have a better procedural and factual memory than episodic memory.
Self awareness; sense of own personality and identity and how your actions and thoughts have an impact on others. This needs constant monitoring and evaluation to achieve greater emotional awareness and control of self. People with autism tend to have poor self regulation.
Creative, flexible thinking and problem solving; the ability to integrate different ideas and perspectives to find the best fit, good enough solution to real life problems. People with autism find it difficult to think flexibly.
The RDI® Programme is the only intervention available that actually aims to remediate autism and each of its core deficits individually, step by step and help a child learn how to live in a dynamic world.
