What are the principles of autism treatment?

Early detection, early treatment. The earlier the age of treatment, the more pronounced the improvement.

Promote family involvement so that parents can also become collaborators or participants in therapy. The child himself, the child health doctor, the child's parents and teachers, the psychologist and the society should participate in the treatment process and form a comprehensive treatment team.

Adhere to the comprehensive treatment training program that focuses on non-drug treatment, supplemented by drug treatment, and promotes each other.

Treatment options should be individualized, structured, and systematic. Treatment is carried out in different places according to the child's condition, and the treatment plan is adjusted at any time according to the treatment response.

At the same time of treatment and training, we should pay attention to the physical health of the child and prevent other diseases.

Stick to the treatment and persevere.

Xiaobian consulted the relevant information on autism and learned:

For autism, parents are the first line of defense for children, and it is very important to do early screening. Parents need to take their child to the hospital where the diagnosis is made by a professional doctor. Since there is no specific drug for the treatment of autism, social training can only be used for intervention, otherwise it may be difficult for these children to integrate into society and adapt to society. The earlier the intervention, the better, and there is no doubt about the immediate intervention of the diagnosed child. Parents should not hold the idea of "waiting" and "looking again", whether diagnosed or suspected of diagnosing autism, they should intervene as soon as possible.

At present, autism also has some prevention and treatment measures, such as strengthening perinatal health care and implementing eugenics; creating a harmonious and warm family atmosphere; instilling a correct outlook on life in children; cultivating children's listening and speaking ability and improving their language function; parents should not intervene prematurely and should give appropriate encouragement to children's attempts; mobilizing children to help with housework, choosing competitive activities that are easy to master, and so on.

Every autistic child needs us to experience their true thoughts with our hearts, they also desire the acceptance of the outside world, care for every autistic person with love, and our smile, a hug, and a warm word are the sunshine in their eyes.
