How to judge whether children have autism? Childhood autism is a disease with extensive developmental disorders, also known as autism. It usually starts within the age of 3. The specific etiology of the disease is unknown and may be related to genetic, infection, immunity and other factors. Therefore, it is impossible to prevent it. It is best to find and treat it early. How to find out early? Social communication disorder, language communication disorder, stereotyped repetitive behavior and narrow interest are the three major symptoms of autism.
◆ social communication disorder social communication disorder is the core symptom of autism. Babies don't like hugging; Lack of eye contact with relatives; Do not participate in children's cooperative games; They are usually not afraid of strangers and have no special feelings with their parents; When necessary, take your parents' hands to a certain place. You can't point to things with your fingers. You can use nodding or shaking your head to express consent or rejection. These are common manifestations of social disorders.
◆ language communication disorder 'most children with autism have backward language development and often can't speak at the age of two or three; Some people have normal language development when they are about 1 year old, but the older they are, the language development regresses. " Yao Meiling said that although some children have language ability, they lack communication. They either repeat stereotyped language or talk to themselves, and the content is monotonous.
Among them, the most common are imitation speech and 'parrot language'. For example, you teach your children to say 'call aunt!' Normal children will say, 'good aunt', but autistic children may completely repeat your words' good aunt ', just like parrot learning.
◆ stereotyped repetitive behavior and narrow interest 'some symptoms of children with autism are reflected in stereotyped repetitive behavior and narrow interest, such as looking at hands, looking at the ceiling, turning, smelling, playing with switches, running back and forth, arranging toys and building blocks.' Yao Meiling said that they are also particularly attached to a certain thing, and it is difficult to accept the change of the environment. For example, they don't like eating new food, and they always have to hold the same pillow and toy when sleeping, otherwise they will cry.
