## Symptoms

Translated from french thanks to google translate:

Classify here the forms having the following characteristics:

1 ° their expression is evident from the age of 1 month to 4 years;

2 ° The symptoms vary from one case to another and for the same child, it changes during the course of the course. Among the reasons for consultation, we find behavioral manifestations, severe inhibitions, obsessive manifestations and deficiencies in the emergence of language which is quickly caught up, but the language remains particular and rather punishing. There is a deficiency of central coherence. Problems with schooling are frequent (school phobias or learning difficulties);

3 ° There are multiple behavioral deficits and problems:

(SIGMA) Mild impairments in three social stages, non-verbal, social and emotional reciprocity, and understanding and maintaining relationships.

(SIGMA) Restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, such as, for example, restricted and stereotypical interests (marked interest in screens), excessive adherence to routines, complex or simple motor stereotypies, as well as slight hypersensitivity to stimuli.

(SIGMA) There is a language delay, hypertonia, poor motor coordination, as well as severe behavioral disorders that dissipate in adolescence, the behavior is sometimes influenced by television during childhood which explains some oddities, chances of dyscalculia and possible executive disorders.

4 ° Behind this variable symptomatology, the traits and mechanisms of the phrenotic series constitute a common element which can accompany an occasional psychotic episode:

(SIGMA) An intense attachment to a specific person or character, particularly a human child or adolescent, rarely an adult. The attachment is intense enough to cause difficulties of integration into the world: a marked obsession for this person or character, even sexual fantasies, an excessive need to protect this character characterized by a rejection and demonization of all forms of hatred against the character (eg, misanthropy), a feeling that the character is "too innocent for this world" or that he does not deserve to be in a ridiculous or disgusting situation even if the character deserves it, even excessive protection of the species to which the character belongs;

(SIGMA) Disturbances in space time, characterized by sensory distortions, floating colors and shapes and sometimes something that seems to be there but not there at the same time illusions or imposing sounds and images to the person ;

(SIGMA) Extremely complex thought patterns, which are inexplicable and are also characterized by more complex feelings than emotions, the person has the impression of knowing things still unknown to man thanks to deep but only temporary associations ;

(SIGMA) An intense feeling of being the center of the world, the whole world appearing to be self-centered, coupled with a sense of privilege and sometimes ideas of grandeur;

(SIGMA) Intense, excessive anxieties, characterized by a fear of gaining weight, gluttony, a fear that humanity will be attacked by other species, an anxiety of being criticized or unfairly demonized or even of being ridiculed (eg , compared to a pig), or a fear of being attacked or invaded by insects;

5 ° Despite these traits and mechanisms specific to phrenosis, the capacities for adaptation and control often provide protection against the risks of behavioral disorientation. Thus, pathological modes of expression may be limited to certain areas or only manifest overtly in certain stages of development;

6 ° This syndrome is accompanied by a "Dull World Syndrome", the world seems not very intense, despite a slight hypersensitivity to certain stimuli, the physical and social world seem confused and empty, which differentiates this syndrome from the "Intense World Syndrome" in autism, the person is dreaming.
