Abstract: Antoine de Saint Exupery writes The Little Prince in 1943. He lives in New York with his wife Consuelo. He draws little fellows on table cloths and napkins and his editors suggest him to write a tale for children illustrated by him. The Little Prince is the story of a little fellow coming from an asteroid, who becomes the friend of an aviator who crashed in the desert with his plane just like Saint Exupery. The little fellow dies at the end of the tale, bitten by a snake and returns to his asteroid. I. asked myself like Freud for Gradiva, if Saint Exupery had not lost a brother or a friend in his childhood. Yes he did, like Jensen the author of Gradiva, the story of a young girl who relives in Pompei. The tale of the Little Prince repeats a great friendship of the childhood and is a mourning work. The Little Prince reminds me the Gradiva of Jensen and the link made by Freud between the revival of a young girl in Pompei and the life of the author. The function of writing is to symbolize, to recreate, to repair. In the Little Prince there is also a mourning work.

Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that imposes a serious caregiving burden on society and families. Especially for children with early detection and diagnosis of autism, more and better treatment methods are needed to improve their daily living abilities and quality of life. The existing technological means are mostly behavioral interventions, and physical factors have not been used as routine treatments. There are also few cases of transcranial magnetic therapy applied to younger ASD children. This case report describes a 4-year-old child with autism spectrum disorder who not only has developmental delays but also executive dysfunction. Therefore, he received rehabilitation treatment. He continuously received behavioral interventions and increased high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic therapy treatment. As a result, it was found that the developmental quotient of the children improved after treatment, especially in the hand eye coordination area and personal social area. At the same time, children's control inhibition improved, GO test accuracy increased, and reaction time shortened. However, there was no significant change in the NOGO test accuracy and reaction time. In conclusion, high frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation may improved executive function and growth and development in children with ASD. We need to conduct more controlled trials and objective evaluation methods in the future to understand the therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of transcranial magnetic therapy on executive function in children with autism.
