CONCENTRATION
This information has been taken from a website by Mark Hutten, MA – My Aspergers Child. The web address is www.myaspergerschild.com
Students with Aspergers:
- Are distracted by internal stimuli.
- Have difficulty sustaining focus on classroom activities (often it is not that the attention is poor but, rather, that the focus is “odd”; the individual with ASPERGERS cannot figure out what is relevant, so attention is focused on irrelevant stimuli).
- Are off task
- Tend to withdraw into complex inner worlds in a manner much more intense than is typical of daydreaming and have difficulty learning in a group situation.
- Are very disorganized.
