The incidence of autism is about one in 150.
There is such a kind of child in the world, they have a beautiful name - "children of the stars", but they have a not-so-beautiful fate, from birth, they are lonely.
April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day, and if it weren't for this holiday, few people would pay attention to the children around them who have autism.
Those "star children" around them have made parents white-headed
Children with autism, because there is no abnormal physical performance in infancy, there is no special change in appearance, parents often find out late.
Compared with the illness of cold and fever, having an autistic child in the family is a greater psychological blow to parents.
Autism is also known as autism, which is simply such a child who does not communicate with the outside world and does not like to talk. Although the child is not physically painful or itchy, it makes the parents feel sad.
Sugar Mom used to live downstairs from an autistic family, and most of the time they were quiet, but the little girl with the autism would occasionally lose her temper, throw things, and yell.
The family never bought a house, not because they didn't have any money. It is because the child occasionally cries and makes a fuss, which will affect the neighbors. If the neighbors don't look for them, they can live longer, and if the impact is too great, they can only move.
The girl's mother is in her early 30s and looks very pretty, but Sugar Mom rarely sees her smile, and once when she took the elevator, Sugar Mom also found that her sideburns already had white hair.
For most parents of autistic children, they feel some relief but also some despair. It is gratifying that the child's life is not in danger, and the despair is that the child seems to have no future.
"Children of the Stars", what is the general performance?
When we chatted, we often jokingly said that I was autistic, but I didn't know the two words of autism, which is an eternal pain in the hearts of some parents.
Autism is actually a more serious developmental disorder, such children often have language communication disorders, unable to social interaction, about 70% of autistic children are mentally backward.
They are very introverted when they are quiet, but they are also often more active, inattentive, like to lose their temper, and have the appearance of attacking others or hurting themselves.
It's like a 2-year-old's rebellious period, and what he decides must be done his way. Otherwise he won't do a good job and lose his temper.
They are often unable to integrate into normal groups and have weak self-care skills. Going to school and living alone has become a big problem. Most children with autism are homeschooled or attend "special schools."
But these kinds of children look desperate, but they can also bring a glimmer of light to parents in the dark, because they can also be genius children.
A child with autism who is born lonely may be a genius
Sugar Mom usually comes into contact with many stories of autistic children, because my cousin is doing special education, and has more contact with the children of the stars, and finds that they are actually very good.
A child with autism may not be perfect, but he may excel in a certain field. Especially in painting, music and memory, there is a level beyond ordinary people.
There is an autistic baby Alex Baker abroad, whose painting ability and memory are very amazing. As long as he walks through a place, he can use his memory to draw all the details of the building on paper.
Autistic children may not learn to speak, and it takes a long time to learn 1 + 1 = 2, but they can easily reach the level of piano level 10, and they have the ability to remember some numbers and pictures.
In a way, it is also a verification of the saying: "God closes a door for them, and he will certainly open a window for them." This is also one of the reasons why parents of autistic children are relieved.
The autistic child is like immersed in his own world, he can't accept too much outside information, and he doesn't want to be disturbed too much. They also study hard, but their abilities are limited.
So, how can parents rule out their children's tendency to have autism? In daily life, you can start from the following aspects.
"Children of the Stars" generally have the following manifestations
80% to 90% of babies with autism are born and are genetically related. Including pregnant women's exposure to the environment during pregnancy, or frequent emotional instability throughout pregnancy, may lead to autism after the birth of the child.
Another part of the child is under the influence of acquired factors, with a tendency to autism. For example, being severely frightened or struck, or living in a repressive family environment for a long time, may trigger autistic tendencies.
Children with autism generally have the following manifestations, and parents can observe carefully in normal times so as not to miss the best dry expectations for 2 to 4 years old.
1) In infancy, there is no eye contact and expression
Children generally seek security by looking at each other, but babies with autism begin to avoid eye contact after the age of 1, or feel that the eyes are not focused, and the difference in mood and sorrow on the face is not very obvious.
Adults are teasing him, but children are indifferent, or just play with their heads down, completely immersed in their own world.
2) Behave too rigidly
Many people said that their autistic children had very stereotypical behavior earlier. They just like to eat the same food, sit in a fixed position in the house, and get very angry or cry when they are messed up.
3) Don't seem to know your own name
In addition to being reluctant to communicate with people, another obvious manifestation of autistic children is that they are not sensitive to their own names.
Usually, babies over 1 year old, after hearing their name, will look at the person who called him. But children with autism rarely react to names, as if they don't know what their names are.
If the parent keeps telling the baby what his name is, but the baby will not respond after the age of 1, or even 2 to 3 years old, it is likely to be autistic tendency.
Candy Mother's Heart:
Every child is the heart of a parent, may the world give autistic babies more care, more care. Their families are hopeful.
