There are about 10 million people with autism on the mainland, and this group of figures is increasing by at least 200,000 per year.
Autism, a word that makes many people desperate to hear it, so slowly, people call autistic children "children of the stars".
How many couples in autistic families, in order to get their children to get treatment, go to the west, but finally make a lot of debt, or even divorce.
Children with autism sometimes seem normal, but often behave in incomprehensible ways. Sugar Mom has been in contact with many autistic children and would like to say for them: I am not grumpy, I just need to "feel safe".
What is the world like in the eyes of the "children from the stars"? From their point of view, they may be able to understand the behavior of autistic children.
"Stubborn" autistic children are different from ordinary children in thinking
Children with autism are often particularly stubborn and sharp, in addition to their weak understanding ability, but also related to their thinking patterns.
Normal children will look at their parents' faces from a very young age, but autistic children often do not care about their parents' additional emotions, tone and actions.
For example, when a child wants to drink a drink, the parent is very angry and says that he can't drink it, and the ordinary child will react differently according to the parents' mood at that time. But in the minds of autistic children, there is often only one thing on their minds – how come I can't drink?
When children with autism look at the world, the way of thinking is relatively simple. They tend to grasp a certain point in the matter to think, or can only understand the literal meaning, which is also called "paper understanding".
Autistic children listen to the world, and this is how it sounds
Autistic children have a very classic action, that is, they often cover their ears. Ostensibly refusing to talk to others, it is actually because of the difference in hearing.
There was a real case where an autistic child could hear the sound of a bell ringing 2 kilometers away, and such sensitive hearing didn't look very powerful? In fact, this is also the reason why autistic children are prone to irritability and fear.
Autistic children are too sensitive to sound, which leads to too many sounds they hear every day, too complex.
Take the phonograph playing music as an example, the average person hears only beautiful music, but in the ears of autistic children. There was the sound of the clockwork turning, the sound of the film being scratched, and these sounds made him feel very harsh.
In the eyes of an autistic child, wind chimes, televisions and other vocal objects, and even parents who are gently telling stories, may be frightening to him.
Therefore, when he smashes something or pushes someone away, it may also be because he can't stand a certain sound, not simply a big temper.
The world as seen in the eyes of autistic children is not related
Simulating the autistic child's perspective to see the world, you know why they are not interested in the outside world, only immersed in their own world.
Ordinary children will be very happy to see the "airplane pulling line", they can understand a line behind the tail of the airplane, which is related to the plane, and when they hear the sound of the plane flying by, they will also take the initiative to run over to observe.
But the picture seen in the eyes of autistic children is different, and when an autistic child looks at the plane pulling the line, it will divide the various pictures.
In their eyes, the so-called aircraft pulling line is simply the three factors of aircraft, blue sky, and line. They can't connect the moving plane to the ever-extending line behind them, and naturally they don't have fun.
When parents do housework, ordinary children see their mother sweeping the floor. But in the eyes of autism are moms, brooms and garbage. His focus may be on the color of the broom than on what Mom is doing.
And it is precisely because they cannot connect things in their minds when they observe things, which makes it more difficult for them to learn.
However, autistic children also have some advantages, because they can't receive too much information, so they can make themselves particularly focused on a certain thing.
There are also many beautiful things in the eyes of autistic children
A study in Singapore showed that when children with autism were exposed to language and music, they preferred to receive music intervention.
Music has been called "the magic weapon that knocks on the door of autism", and for autistic children, as long as they can perceive music, then there is hope, in terms of language ability or emotional control to improve.
Sensitivity to music and color also allows autistic children to have a certain talent for music and painting.
You may find that many autistic children may not even finish kindergarten, and communication and communication with others is also a problem. But their piano level is relatively high, even beyond the level of ordinary children.
One of the more representative children with autism is Liu Mingkang, who was diagnosed with autism from an early age, but also became a legend.
His self-care ability and other aspects are relatively poor, but he began to learn piano with his mother, and in less than a year he was able to play many world famous songs. When Richard Clayderman toured China, he also chose Liu Mingkang to play on the same stage.
This is almost unthinkable for an autistic family, and it can be seen that musical talent has become one of the beautiful things in the world of autistic children.
The "children of the stars" are not temperamental, they just need to feel safe
Many autistic families, who have experienced seeking medical treatment everywhere, are constantly moving. Because autistic children are likely to run into trouble at any time, repeated apologies can no longer be forgiven, and then can only take the child away.
Some autistic children have a tendency to hurt themselves, and they also have the situation of unconsciously pushing and shoving children, dropping things and hitting people, resulting in children always being unable to integrate into the surrounding environment.
Not only in public, they cry out in fear or irritability. When I am at home, I will also be complained by neighbors because of some disturbances.
Autistic children often behave outside their control, and they are not simply temperamental, but more in need of security.
Their parents don't want to bother others too much, and Sugar Mom has seen many autistic families and is already trying to do their best, so there is no need to be too harsh on them.
Candy Mother's Heart:
So far there is no complete cure for autism, which can only allow them to make progress in language and self-care. I hope that the world will have more warmth and love for autistic children, so that their parents will be understood and not too desperate.
