- Abstract
The epidemiological and historical sociology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) suggests that the concept of ‘social communication and interaction' included in its diagnostic criteria may lead people to mistake‘ inter-personal phenomena’ that alternate continuously based on time and place, for persistent‘ intra-personal phenomena.' Because persistent characteristics that exist independent of social relationships may be diverse among ASD, it is necessary to extract them in a case-by-case manner. Accordingly, we have been doing tojisha-kenkyu( person-centered research) for 8 years with Ayaya, who is a researcher diagnosed with ASD. The results revealed the following possibilities: 1) atypical regulation under interoception-driven long-term goals causes diffculties in motor control, selective retrieval and systematic consolidation of memories; and 2) enhanced interoception fails to be integrated with exteroceptions, which causes diffculties in constructing the emotions and intrinsic intentions of one’s self and others, and hyper- and hyposensitivity to sensory inputs and prediction errors. Tojisha-kenkyu has not only academic signifcance, but it may also lead to therapeutic effects on well-being by making it possible to grasp trans-situational invariants of the self.
