Autism involves unique perceptual experiences, termed perception metamorphosis phenomenon (PMP). This phenomenological concept helps understand autistic perception and its developmental changes.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Psychology
Developmental Psychology

Background:

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by diverse perceptual abnormalities.
Understanding autistic perception requires a phenomenological approach due to its subjective nature.

Observation:

The concept of 'perception metamorphosis phenomenon' (PMP) is proposed to describe the unique perceptual mode in autism.
PMP is observable in infancy and adolescence, manifesting as behavioral changes indicating altered environmental perception.
PMP is categorized into visual, auditory, and situational types.

Findings:

PMP offers a phenomenological framework for understanding the onset and symptom development in autism.
This phenomenon provides insights into the inner world of individuals with autism.

Implications:

The PMP concept may guide new therapeutic strategies for autism.
It encourages re-examination of the relationship between autism and schizophrenia.
