Autism is a disorder of brain development that occurs in infancy and is characterized by obvious social interaction disorders, speech development disorders, and stereotyped interests and strange behaviors. Children with autism are also known as "children from the stars". At present, autism has become the largest disease of mental disability in children, and the prevalence rate is increasing year by year.
According to authoritative statistics, the incidence of autism in China has reached 0.7%, and there are currently more than 10 million people with autism spectrum disorders, of which more than 2 million children under the age of 12 are about 2 million. It is estimated that more than 20,000 children aged 0-14 in Jilin Province have autism, but according to the data of the Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation, only 2500-3000 children have confirmed information, and many parents of children do not understand or are unwilling to face it, delaying the best treatment period for children. These children cannot study and live normally, nor can they integrate into society, and they need to be taken care of all their lives, which brings a heavy burden to the family and society.
The child's name is Xiao Jian, and he comes from Yidan Town, Yitong County. Xiao Jian's family is not optimistic, his father suffers from depression, his mother suffers from schizophrenia, and his 70-year-old grandfather suffers from cerebral infarction, and he has to support the family alone.
Xiao Jian's grandfather wanted to earn money to support his family, but also to take care of Xiao Jian's family of three, he was really unable to do it, since he knew the Yitong County Warm Relatives Disabled Children Welfare Center, he sent Xiao Jian here. When Xiao Jian first came to the center, his emotions were very easy to get excited, he dropped things when he was upset, when he wanted to play with toys, he had to get them immediately, he cried when he was not satisfied, and he was particularly picky about eating, refusing vegetables and fruits. Whenever Xiao Jian cried, the teachers patiently reassured and guided them over and over again, and gradually solved these problems.
Now, Xiao Jian has been in the center for more than three years, and he is no longer as disgusted with fruits and vegetables as before. You can follow the teacher's activities during class, and you can also put away the toys with the teacher when the toys should be put away. The act of dropping things has been completely corrected.
Grandpa Xiaojian said that now when he returns home, he is more obedient, no longer runs outside, and can speak under the guidance of his family, and the child's progress is too great!
