Since 2008, April 2nd has been designated as "World Autism Awareness Day," which has led to an increasing global awareness of autism. But is our understanding of autism correct? Are there children showing signs of autism? How should we treat children with autism? Autism symptoms have gradually increased in China due to the improvement in living standards, leading to an increase in the incidence rate of autism. This not only affects people's physical and mental health but also impacts future development.
So what are the signs of autism? 1) difficulty with hearing and speaking.
Immediately mimic.
3) Repeating certain words, words, phrases, sentences or songs over and over again.
4) Cannot control their pitch and rhythm, unable to express their own emotions.
5) The speech lacks emotion and the tone is cold.
6) Have difficulties in learning and interacting, and have no response when hugging and touching.
In addition, when children prefer hard objects such as flashlights, keys, and pens to softer objects such as dolls or towels, these can also indicate that children may have autism.
However, it is not a precise standard that normal children may have this condition as well.
The manifestations of autism in children vary. To detect and treat it in a timely manner, there is no professional targeted medical equipment based on the specific manifestations of autism in children.
Characteristics of autistic children There are approximately half a million autistic people in China.
The ratio of male to female is 4:1.
Early detection of autism is necessary.
Experts from Shanghai Fuda Children's Hospital summarized 18 common early behavioral manifestations of autism based on relevant summaries of the National Health Organization meeting: 1) Lack of sensitivity to sound.
2) Difficulty in interacting with peers.
3) Unwillingness to change.
4) Don't care about the surrounding environment.

Some children will also experience abnormal manifestations such as self-injury and self-harm. There are obvious differences between them and normal children. Parents can infer from this whether their children have autism tendencies and must take their children to relevant hospitals for detailed examination.
The sooner it is discovered, the better the treatment effect, so it is important to identify symptoms early.
Causes of the formation of autism in children Nowadays, autism is becoming more and more frequent, and the formation of autism has become a matter of great concern to children's parents.
Autistic children always have abnormal behaviors and refuse to communicate with others.
Autism is not caused by parents 'parenting attitudes, and its cause is medically inconclusive.
Autism is not caused by a single factor, but rather it is influenced by genetics, physical factors, and environmental influences.
1) Genetic factors.
There are people in the family who have congenital mental retardation and slow language development.
2) Brain injury factors.
Factors such as maternal distress abortion, premature delivery, dystocia, neonatal brain injury, and infection with meningitis and other diseases.
3) Viral factors.
During pregnancy, the mother is infected with measles or influenza virus, which impairs the brain development of the fetus.
4) Disease factors.
Congenital metabolic disorders such as phenylketonuria cause the dysfunction of brain cells.
5) Environmental factors.
If you are in a monotonous growth environment for a long time, you will often produce repetitive actions and are not interested in the external environment.
Can mild autism be cured? Under normal circumstances, the condition of children with autism is related to various factors such as the time of discovery of the disease, the severity of the disease, early speech development, and cognitive ability.
The biggest harm caused by autism to children is communication and language difficulties, but it does not pose a life-threatening threat to children.
As long as children with autism can be detected in time and appropriate measures are taken early, they can be controlled. Although it is impossible to recover in one go, they will continue to improve.
What parents can do is provide correct guidance.
1. Be a role model: Parents should always maintain firmness and confidence in front of their children, without being resentful or blaming others.
When children feel fearful and disappointed, parents should provide timely encouragement and care to help them build up their self-confidence.
2) Warm and harmonious family atmosphere: The living environment plays a crucial role in shaping personality.
The closeness and warmth between parents will make children feel happy.
3. Control learning emotions: When children learn a new language, they must first control their emotions and make them focused and interested.
4) Cultivate a wide range of hobbies: Children should be guided to develop diverse interests, such as listening to stories, playing games, etc. Parents should try their best to accompany them, which can not only develop children's intelligence, but also strengthen interaction between parent-child children.
There are many treatment methods for autism, and parents are very concerned about it. I hope that my child will open up his heart, and I would like to introduce several treatment methods for autism to everyone.
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Autism is a chronic disease. The treatment effect of traditional Chinese medicine is not obvious and the effect is slow. It tastes bitter and difficult to take, and it is difficult for children with autism to accept it.
Therefore, it is difficult for traditional Chinese medicine treatment to achieve the expected results.
Western medicine treatment: It cannot be cured, but once treatment is stopped, the condition will become more serious.
Its side effects, in addition to causing malnutrition, affect bone growth.
Education and training is the main method to treat autism. Appropriate rewards are used to encourage and strengthen children's correct behaviors, while suppressing their bad behaviors, so that children can develop correct behavioral norms and improve their own cognitive level.
Participate in group activities. Group activities that accompany your children include playing games with other children, cultural and sports activities organized by schools and classes, etc.
In group activities, gradually cultivate children's independent character and learn to recognize friendship, wisdom and warmth.
Cultivate children's ability to be independent, not to ask their parents to do things, so that children can learn to do their own things, deliberately let children hit a wall and suffer a little hardship, thereby honing their will.
