The earlier autism is detected and intervened, the better the effect.
For an autistic family, "How hard is it to accept your child's flaws?" "It was once an unavoidable and difficult choice.
We often talk about tiger discoloration, and now many people mention autism with a look of panic, thinking that it is an incurable disease. So, is autism really as scary as everyone thinks? Actually not, the real situation is like this:
1. Half of children with autism have intelligence within the normal range
In the past, when doctors diagnosed their children with "autism spectrum disorder," many parents collapsed in tears and collapsed on the ground, feeling that their children's lives were over. Now, that perception should change. Children with autism have their own strengths, although their behavior is stereotypical and repetitive, their interests are narrow, and they have social communication deficiencies. Many children have good memories and have an unusually spontaneous interest in science, art, etc. We should dig into their strengths, because not every child is severely autistic. About 50% of children's intelligence is in the normal range.
2, destigmatization: not autistic "disease" but autistic "person"
With the concept of the autism spectrum ", about 50% of mild autism is diagnosed. The future of autistic children is far less pessimistic than people thought in the past, on the contrary, their future is full of hope. Even children with low-functioning autism (mentally retarded), as long as they are detected early and after scientific intervention, their abilities will gradually improve. Especially those who are diagnosed with autism in adulthood, they object to being called "autism" and think that they are just autistic people. The more important reason why autistic people become mentally disabled in adulthood is not the problem of the child itself, but the lack of tolerance in the social environment.
3. The child is diagnosed with autism, and parents should not be overly pessimistic
After the child is diagnosed with autism, parents do not need to be overly pessimistic, but they must not be careless. An autism expert said: "We insist on defending the right of children with special needs to be different, but we also emphasize the comprehensive understanding and assistance of children with disabilities, with the goal of getting the best results for all children." If some early symptoms of autistic children can be remedied in time, parents take their children to do scientific intervention training to ensure a certain intensity and perseverance, which will have a good rehabilitation effect.
From a sick point of view, autism is incurable. Autism is a neuroaxia, generalized developmental disorder. The so-called obstacle is the lack or defect of this part of the function. The part of the defect of the autistic child is the part of the social core disorder, this part of the defect is the invisible invisible part of the nervous system, it is like the blind person missing the eye function, the deaf person missing the function of ear hearing, the limb disability missing the hand or foot, whether it is blind, deaf or physically disabled, their defective part will not be re-grown with new eyes, ears and limbs because of rehabilitation training, but can basically complete the function of perceiving sound and assisting walking with the assistance of such as hearing aids, prosthetics, etc. In the same way, although the part of the autism defect is a nervous system failure that we cannot see, the principle is the same, the core part of the defect of the autistic person cannot be re-grown, and from this point of view, autism cannot be cured by drugs, surgery and other treatments.
However, through the scientific system rehabilitation training, many children, especially nearly half of the children with normal or little damage, can obtain social functions with the assistance of cognitive understanding, experience, etc., and other abilities such as movement, fineness, language, etc. With the improvement of social skills, the ability to imitate and interact is re-established, imitation and interaction are the ways of human learning, then the child's ability to improve in imitation and interaction, as the child's ability in all aspects is getting stronger and stronger, especially after targeted systematic thinking training, The child's cognitive rational logical thinking analytical reasoning makes up for the lack of innate intuitive socialization and obtains functional compensation.
Therefore, from the functional compensation point of view, more and more autism awareness through scientific system intervention, especially in the early years of systematic intervention, autism recovery and integration into the ordinary environment of society is getting higher and higher, a considerable part of adult autism can achieve self-care for life, a small number of can complete auxiliary self-reliance, become dignified independent people with social value.
After reading this article, I hope you understand that autism is far less terrible than we think, it is not an incurable disease, and autistic children are not hopeless.
