Visuoperceptual and Motor Skills in Asperger's Syndrome

The subjects of autism and Asperger's syndrome, which is part of the same spectrum, are fascinating because of the controversies and mysteries that surround them, making their functioning sometimes so ingenious that, despite the many studies and advances since Kanner's discoveries in the last century, little has evolved in terms of discoveries in the universe of these people, especially in terms of their perception and their relationship between body and space, which is the subject of this study. I was advised by Prof. Dr. Francisco Assumpção Jr. at USP Psychology, who for years has been dedicated to studying patients with Asperger's syndrome, who are high-functioning autistic, where he has already carried out various studies on death, time, pain, etc. Because of the difficulties in socializing and communicating that are part of the autistic spectrum, they often use their bodies in bizarre and stereotyped ways, using mannerisms, shouting and repetitive movements. The study made it possible to discover true artists at the piano, brush, pencil and other arts that are still a mystery and need to be studied better and earlier with differential diagnosis by qualified professionals.

The subjects of autism and Asperger's syndrome, which is part of the same spectrum, are fascinating because of the controversies and mysteries that surround them, making their functioning sometimes so ingenious that, despite the many studies and advances since Kanner's discoveries in the last century, little has evolved in terms of discoveries in the universe of these people, especially in terms of their perception and their relationship between body and space, which is the subject of this study. I was advised by Prof. Dr. Francisco Assumpção Jr. at USP Psychology, who for years has been dedicated to studying patients with Asperger's syndrome, who are high-functioning autistic, where he has already carried out various studies on death, time, pain, etc. Because of the difficulties in socializing and communicating that are part of the autistic spectrum, they often use their bodies in bizarre and stereotyped ways, using mannerisms, shouting and repetitive movements.
