Developing Through The Lifespan

I have always been interested in child's psychology. I find the things they say and do just fascinating. So one thing I found very interesting was the fact that as a child, we learn by assimilation and then accommodation. Our whole thought process when we are young is basically a guess and check. The second thing I learned was the whole page about autism. Autism, a disorder marked by communication deficiencies and repetitive behaviors, goes after more boys than girls. The fact that Autism makes the person unable to communicate with others, in our world, almost impossible to interact with humans. Not being able to get a thought across through words is just a hard life. The third thing I learned is Erickson's stages of psychology. I found them interesting because of the issues in each stage. I think they fit pretty well. This whole chapter was very interesting on the human brain through the lifespan. There is a little cartoon on page 223 that is called "Too Much Coffee Man". I think it definetly explains our life in like 15 words.
