Everyone have Developmental Disabilities
The human brain is complex and has various functions. The developing brain is susceptible to external stimuli and reacts in various ways. Each experience shapes a person's individuality and personality, and they also learn how to communicate. Education at school focuses on communication through language, and is taught by teachers while following the contents of textbooks.
Many of the causes of developmental disorders in children are congenital. However, it is said that the problem can easily become serious depending on factors such as home environment, lifestyle habits such as eating and sleeping, and relationships with classmates and teachers at school. Teachers' understanding of developmental disabilities and the educational system's response to developmental disabilities are also issues.
The term developmental disability is a relatively recent term. However, developmental disorders have long been known to exist. It is said that many people with developmental disorders become adults and suffer in social life.
A diagnosis of developmental disorders is usually made by a psychiatrist. However, not all doctors always make an accurate diagnosis.
When teachers at school see students' attitudes in class, they sometimes suspect that this child has a developmental disorder. She simply refuses to converse with a bad-tempered teacher she hates, and she's labeled autistic. If she ignores boring classes and just does what interests her, people say she's attention-deficit. However, her teacher's point of view is not always correct. In some cases, teachers themselves may have a developmental disability.
In the natural world, animals always have to find food and protect themselves from predators. Looking around for food and reacting sensitively to sounds and odors are instinctive actions that animals need to protect their lives. However, if children follow their instincts to look around in the classroom and react to sounds and smells, they will be treated as having a developmental disorder.
When society as a whole is unhealthy, healthy people can be treated abnormally. Perhaps, before treating children with developmental disabilities, it may be necessary to review whether the whole adult society is sick.
At school, education is carried out while suppressing to some extent the instincts and individuality that children are born with. It is also possible that this repression is straining the minds of children.
In fact, we may all be developmentally disabled to a greater or lesser extent. It's boring and uninteresting to sit in a chair all the time and take classes from a teacher you don't like. I want to play outside on sunny days, and I want to take a nap when I get sleepy. If you feel that you have to attend class without being able to do what you want to do, you will not be able to concentrate and you will feel depressed. It's the same when you go out into the world. If you do a job you don't want to do and get scolded by a boss you don't like, you may not want to work.
The important thing is your own heart. When you can't concentrate, when you're depressed, let's take a little look at yourself. The reason my heart is not positive is because something is stuck. Either get rid of that blockage, change the way you see it, or stop what you're doing and do something else that you can focus on and do something positive. If your mind is positive, you should be able to do more.
