This syndrome that appears in the video is sometimes regarded as a type of autism. Although it can be also explained as a difficulty in social interaction, repetition of behaviour and clumsiness, by the individual suffering from this syndrome.

How we could watch on the video children who suffer this syndrome use to be a bit emotional and interest immature; disproportionate emotional reactions to situations; They have an awareness that they are different, so often they have feelings of misunderstanding and loneliness; they are often vulnerable to suffer from depression, anxiety, stress and obsessiveness; in class they have difficulties (slowness, adaptation problems, clumsiness to develop curricula, lack of motivation, difficulty capturing the main idea of a text and select relevant information).
On the other hand the positive sides of these children are their strong values: honesty, goodness and criticism of injustices; persistence in achieving their goals and objectives; simple and naive personality.
                              

Finished identifying how these children are; both good and bad things, I am going to explain what types of things I would do like teacher, to try to help them and create a good environment for them.
The first thing I would do is try to contact with the parents if they are not conscience about the condition of the child.
With regard the goals I would like to get, I would start working with the whole class values like; tolerance and respect, for all different people and especially (in the case of this topic) children with this syndrome. I would work a lot the cooperative learning in class, because some of the descriptions of the character of these children is that they do not feel accepted and are solitary. If all children have to work together in different situations we are avoiding loneliness at the same time everyone known best among them, promoting trust and mutual respect. I would try to motivate these children to work with the group, improve their self-esteem and facilitating the integration into the group. As a solution to the academic problems I would give them some advantages, including extra time to finish tasks, possibility of oral exams, enhance the visual way of learning, closed questions on exams and tests multiple responses, among others. I would give them all the explanations and activities to do very clear to they can understand it right.
It is also important try to motivate them to try extracurricular activities that they like.
This type of children can have low self esteem, so it is our work as teachers that these children feel well with themselves, understanding their condition and learning to know themselves well; the good and bad things about them. In spite of these we have to focus in that they can see a positive and well picture about themselves, and providing to them self- control strategies.
Finally I think that is necessary that the teacher spend extra time in these children to develop social and communication skills.
