They live a life that is difficult for ordinary people to understand
The eyes are hollow and seem to be invisible
The expression was sluggish and seemed to be inaudible
Behavior is stereotyped and repetitive like a pendulum
They live in their own shells
It is a great distance from the world
One person, one world, twinkling alone
World Autism Day
World Autism Day is celebrated on 2 April each year. Autism, also known as autism disorder, is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and the incidence of which is increasing year by year, bringing a heavy burden to families and society.
It is estimated that children with mental disabilities aged 0-6 account for about 1.1% of the total number of children, and the number of patients reaches 111,000, of which 36.9% are mentally disabled due to autism, and the number of patients exceeds 40,000. In fact, in reality, there may be more autistic people, autism has become an important disease that causes children's mental disability.
Do you think autism
Is it not fond of communicating with people and closing yourself off?
If your perception of autism stops there,
Then you really don't know enough about it,
Communication barriers, stereotyped repetitive behavior,
Sensitivity and restlessness, emotional instability, etc. are their characteristics.
What is autism
Autism is a disorder of social communication and social interaction that occurs when environmental, biological, and genetic factors work together to lead to congenital brain development abnormalities. The fifth edition of the latest edition of the American Manual of Diagnostics and Statistics of Mental Disorders has attributed the core symptoms of autism to repetitive behaviors, interests, or activities that consistently show deficits and limitations in social communication and social interaction in a variety of settings.
Early recognition of autism
"Five noes" behavior
Not (less) to see: abnormal eye contact;
No (less) should: includes call-off reactions and common attention.
Name response: Young children are deaf to their parents' calls, and insensitive to call responses are usually one of the earlier manifestations of ASD discovered by parents;
Common attention: it is a kind of coordinated attention ability in the early social cognitive development of young children, which refers to the individual's joint attention to an object or event other than the two with the help of finger pointing, eye gaze, etc.
No (less) refers to: lack of proper body movements, inability to make requests for something of interest;
No (less) language: most children with ASD have language delays;
Refers to inappropriate use of objects and associated sensory abnormalities.
If your child has the following conditions,
It needs to be paid great attention to by parents
Early identification and early intervention
Will not pronounce any words within 1 year of age;
Can't say at least 15 words before the age of 2, or can only imitate pronunciation;
Will not use the index finger to point to the object, nor will it nod or shake the head to indicate need;
No response to the name;
Avoid the gaze of others when communicating, or the eyes are erratic;
There is no single way of playing or playing with toys, rigid behavior, and single interests.
Children with autism and stunted growth are expected to be 2-6 years old and the appropriate age for intervention is 2-12 years. The best stem expectation for autism is before the age of 6, of which before the age of 3 is the golden period for language learning in children with autism. The younger the age, the greater the plasticity of brain development, so early detection and early intervention are the most important methods for rehabilitation education for children with autism, and the most targeted and professional intervention training helps children to return to society as soon as possible.
The Untouchable World: A Myth About Autism
1
Myth 1
Because of the misconception, some people think that children with autism are geniuses and do not need special support
Solution: Autism is not a genius, nor is it a natural artist. In fact, people with special talents on the autism spectrum account for only 5%-10% of the total number of autism in painting, absolute sound, numbers, etc. However, most patients have cognitive deficits, language impairments, and require lifelong care.
2
Myth two
Because of the misunderstanding, some people think that children with autism are neurotics that can harm themselves and others
Solution: Most children with autism do not have a good language function, can't understand other people's questions, or understand how to answer, but there are also nag-type autism, often say some unintelligible "Martian language", or say some inappropriate words when they should not speak, and they can't stop at all. But this does not mean that they reject contact with people, but instead communicate with autistic children in the right way, express, these warmth is like a secret method for them, can help them release some stress.

Myth three
Children with autism are denied school because of misunderstandings
Solution: If the child's abnormalities can be detected at an early stage (the current best age for diagnosing autism is 2 years old, but the average age of diagnosis is 4 years old), and effective interventions are taken, some autistic children may return to the normal school environment to study.
04
Myth four
Because of the misunderstanding, children with autism are considered to have violent tendencies and are misunderstood
Solution: Feeling stimulation is necessary for the brain, autistic children will look for these stimuli, so there are behaviors such as hitting people, if timely scientific intervention can be corrected, does not mean that they have a violent tendency.
There are so many misconceptions about autistic people,
And the public's misconceptions
It is even more difficult for them to integrate into society.
Tough situation
The cause of autism is not yet clear,
It is generally believed that
Autism is associated with the following factors
In fact, people with autism are also part of our society. Although we don't know if autistic people are miserable, we can know that parents of autistic people are very painful. As the public, we must understand, accept and tolerate such children, which is also the best help for them. Acceptance and inclusion means not forcing them to get along with people the way they are ordinary, not rejecting them because they are different from us: you greet him and he ignores you, or he doesn't look at you at all when he speaks, it's not that he's rude or doesn't like you, it's just that he's just not like that; they just don't express love, or can't appreciate love, but not without love.
Every child with autism is like a star in the sky,
It was far away from us, but beautiful.
They need people to help wipe away the dust.
So, we have to use warmth and love
To guide and help them,
Let them have the life they deserve.
Compared to changing them and adapting them to society,
More importantly, we should accept and tolerate them.
