The occurrence and development of autism from the perspective of perceptual ecology

Abstract
This paper discusses three theoretical models to explain the occurrence and development of autism disorders. The psychological model regards developmental disorders or psychopathological disorders of autistic patients as the manifestation of impaired mental activities, the neurobiological model mainly considers specific brain structure damage and its effect on behavioral dysfunction in autism. The ecological model doesn’t directly study the mind or brain, instead it tries to explain the behavior of autistic people by studying their interactions with the environment. This paper will mainly focus on the ecological model of autism, autism is a process in human’s life development, people who is suffer from autism, the influences of this disease will along with the entire lifetime, autism is not caused by a moment, but is a life through process. Compared with psychological model and neurobiological model, the ecological model view of autism based on perceptual ecology theory highlights the interaction between individuals and the environment, which indicates that autism can also effect by environment, outside components can consider as triggers of autism as well.
