The purpose of this article is, through a dialog between the child and the author, to clarify how children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) perceive themselves.
The qualitative study's participants were nine children with ASD. Their ages were 8-18 years. Data were collected through two sessions of dialog between the child and the author. Data were analyzed through a qualitative inductive approach based on the perspectives of narrative analysis.
There were eight categories of how the children perceive themselves. The children talked about themselves as follows. The children with ASD wished to share feelings with others, sensitively read between the lines, and talked about the belief to cherish their friends. They were able to anticipate that repetitive behavior or interest in one thing would end someday. And they then made an effort to deal with problematic matters in social life.
This article proposes to understand the experience of "increasing alienation" in children with ASD. As a type of support to understand the child, this article proposed a dialog that elicits communication arrangements, specifically a dialog that focuses on forming a profound relationship of being able to share and communicate with each other.
本文旨在通过儿童与作者之间的对话，阐明自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童如何感知自我。
本定性研究的参与者为 9 名 ASD 儿童，年龄 8-18 岁。通过儿童与作者之间的两次对话收集数据。采用基于叙事分析视角的定性归纳方法进行数据分析。
儿童对自我的认知有 8 个类别。这些儿童对自我的描述如下：他们希望与他人分享感受，敏锐地察觉言外之意，谈论珍惜朋友的信念；能够预料到某种重复性的行为或对某件事的兴趣总有一天会结束；并努力应对社交生活中的问题。
本文提出理解 ASD 儿童“日益异化”的体验。作为理解儿童的一种支持方式，本文提出了一种引出沟通安排的对话，特别是一种专注于形成能够分享和交流的深刻关系的对话。
