2022-04-02
They live by our side, but they have a heart that can only see their own world; They are indifferent to other things, but they focus on what they like for a long time. They are "children of the stars". April 2 is World Autism day, with more than 2 million autistic children in China. How to find and cure autistic children in time and embrace the "star child"? There are more than 2 million autistic children under the age of 12 in China How to detect autism early? Autism is also called autism. China's autism education and rehabilitation industry development report released in 2019 showed that the incidence rate of autism in China reached 0.7%, and that year there were about 10 million people with autism spectrum disorders, among whom about 2000000 were children under 12 years old. Wang Jing, deputy chief physician of the mental health department of Beijing Haidian Hospital, said that the main symptoms of autism include social and language disorders, as well as repetitive stereotyped behavior. It is found that children have no or little eye communication, poor language communication and are always out of group. When playing alone in the corner and having strange movements and interests, they need to pay attention to it. Doctors said that the early symptoms of autism can be summarized as "five noes" ("five less"). Not (less) looking: abnormal eye contact, less attention to people, especially people's eyes; No (less) response: children turn a deaf ear to the call of their parents; No (less) refers to the lack of appropriate body movements and the inability to make requests for things of interest; No (less): most children with autism have delayed language function; Improper: refers to improper use of objects and related perceptual abnormalities, including rotation, arrangement and continuous visual exploration of objects. Zhang Lili, an attending physician in the health care department of the Capital Institute of Pediatrics, previously said that even infants of three or four months old respond when their mothers are breastfeeding or smiling at their babies. If a child hears a voice and ignores it, does not look at it, does not say it, does not smile, and cannot recognize it, it may also be a manifestation of autism. How do parents take care of "star children"? Wang Jing said that in the face of autism, parents are the child's first line of defense, and early screening is very important. Parents need to take their children to the hospital for diagnosis by a professional doctor. At present, there is no specific drug for the treatment of autism, but social training. If there is no intervention, it may be difficult for these children to integrate into the society and adapt to the society. We must find out early and intervene early. Zhang Lili also stressed that the earlier the intervention, the better. There is no doubt about the immediate intervention of diagnosed children. Parents should not hold the idea of "wait" and "look again". They should intervene as soon as possible regardless of the diagnosis or suspected diagnosis of autism. Wang Jing introduced that there are some prevention and treatment measures for autism, such as strengthening perinatal health care and implementing eugenics; Create a warm and harmonious family atmosphere; Instill a correct outlook on life into children; Cultivate children's listening and speaking ability and improve their language function; Parents should not intervene too early and should give appropriate encouragement to their children's attempts; Mobilize children to help with housework, choose competitive activities that are easy to master, and so on. Are autistic children all geniuses? Doctors also said that many people have certain misunderstandings about autism: —— Is autism a psychosis? Many people regard autism as a mental illness, give different eyes to people with autism, and even refuse to associate with them. In fact, autistic people are simple and kind, but sometimes they may express differently from normal people. —— People with autism can't go to school normally? The best intervention time for autistic patients is 2-6 years old. As long as they are found in time, early scientific intervention and receive formal treatment and rehabilitation training, autistic children can go to school normally. —— Autistic children are geniuses? The actual situation is that less than one in 1000 autistic people have some talent, and about 50% of autistic children have different degrees of intellectual impairment. Early detection, early intervention, early treatment and more care and understanding for autistic children are the best for children. —— Will autism get better when they grow up? Not only will autism not get better over time, but if it is not treated in time, some manifestations will only become more and more serious with age, and eventually make children gradually lose their ability to take care of themselves. Once parents find that their children have this tendency, they must take their children to seek professional treatment at the first time. (outlook new era)
