These days, when Kojima was brushing the video, he saw a video about "the mother is willing to be a dolphin trainer for the cure of the autistic daughter", in the video, the little daughter has never spoken, and the doctor has diagnosed the child with "autism".
For the daughter to get autism, the mother did not accept at first, but watching the daughter never speak, the mother slowly accepted this fact, began to look around for medical treatment, after hearing that interacting with dolphins has an effect on the treatment of autism, the mother began to become a dolphin trainer process.
From not being able to swim to learning to dive, to learning to train dolphins in various skills, this mother can be said to have suffered a lot, and finally learned the skills of driving dolphins, and after watching her mother's performance, her daughter, who has not responded for many years, actually smiled...
What is autism? Parents need to know about autism in children
Autism, also known medically as "autism," shows that one in every 44 children suffers from "autism." Sick children are stunted in their development and lack normal verbal and social communication skills.
For autism, as far as the current domestic medical level is concerned, it is not possible to prevent and completely treat it, because all the physiological examination results of the sick child are normal, but the only certainty is that autism is a congenital brain development disorder and will accompany it for life.
Characteristics and behavioral characteristics of children with autism:
Behavior stereotypes: Autistic children are very fixed in the behavior and language of their relatives or people, and will not change according to people, times, and places, and their behavior is sluggish and stereotyped; indifferent to the outside world: the most obvious characteristics of autistic children are "listening but not hearing", "turning a blind eye", and seem to live forever in their own world; interpersonal barriers: ignoring people, not afraid of life, rarely participating in group activities, the biggest response to the people around them is "not interested"; language barriers: autistic children's language development is very slow, Like not speaking, or biting words, speaking too fast and too slow, only saying individual words without saying complete sentences, etc.
Children with autism are different, but they are not necessarily worse than others after training
It is worth noting that due to the lack of understanding of autism, some children even if they show symptoms in infancy, they are often ignored by parents, until the children grow up, and other children of the same age open up a significant gap, parents do not realize hindsight.
Doctors recommend that for children with autism, the best treatment time is at "3-6 years old", not only because most children are diagnosed around the age of 3, but also because this period is an important stage in children's brain development.
For the treatment of autistic children, it is usually based on exercise, supplemented by drugs, but parents need to be clear that there are almost no children who have been cured through training, although they cannot be completely cured, but parents can not break the can, and active training is still a great promotion for children's correction.
Studies have shown that children with autism have the help of pets, which can greatly improve their social skills
There has been a study that shows that children with autism who can have a pet after the age of 5 will greatly improve their social skills.
So in addition to dolphins, what other pets may be able to help children with autism?
Pet Cats:
Foreign scientists have found that pet cats may help enhance the compassion of children with autism while reducing their separation anxiety.
The most obvious symptom of autism is the lack of communication and social interaction, which pets promote. Like pet cats, cats have a quiet, interactive personality, and most importantly, for autistic children with sensory impairment and noise sensitivity, the cat's calm nature is more comforting.
After children with autism are exposed to pet cats, their social skills, communication, cooperation, sense of responsibility and self-control have an increasing trend.
Dogs:
Those children with autism often have difficulty concentrating, responding to sensory stimuli and communicating with others, while pet dogs are very effective in solving this problem.
The researchers found that children with autism preferred pictures of pet dogs more than other pictures, and that they were more likely to react to sounds other than the human voice. Deeper studies have found that puppy companionship reduces stress and anxiety in children with autism and creates a more relaxed feeling.
Pet Mouse:
In addition to pet cats and pet dogs, guinea pigs, as a new type of companion pet, have also been shown to improve their social skills for children with autism. With the company of guinea pigs, it not only reduces the number of cries of autistic children, but even makes children talk and laugh.
Choosing a pet for an autistic child should also be careful, and the most fundamental situation depends on the child's situation
Putting autistic children in contact with pets is a positive treatment, but it's worth noting that because children with autism have less physical coordination, they don't respond so aggressively to pets.
No matter what kind of pet, it will have its own animal nature, for a long time in a boring environment, it is difficult to avoid excessive actions, so when choosing a pet, we must also pay attention to the selection of breeds.
For families with autistic children, it is recommended to have some docile pets, such as pet dogs, golden retrievers and labradors on it, they are not only high IQ, but also almost aggressive, but also like outdoor sports, can help autistic children to carry out big movement training.
It is worth noting that although there are theories that pets will have an improving effect on children with autism, parents cannot take this "effect" myth. Many parents pour all their hopes into the matter of pets, and in the end, if they do not achieve the effect, it is easy to be disappointed.
In the matter of raising pets, parents may wish to regard pets as a kind of companionship, try to raise a small animal that belongs to the child, while exercising the child's ability, it can also make the child's childhood more companionship and meaning.
Kojima would like to say:
Whether it is parents or others, for autistic children should be more affirmative, more praise, especially outsiders, but also with a kind eye to replace the curious look, I believe that these special children can one day integrate into society, with people to embrace.
