In December 2007, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution to designate 2 April as world autism awareness day every year from 2008 onwards to raise awareness of autism and related research and diagnosis, as well as people with autism.
In 1943, Leo Canner, an expert at Johns Hopkins University in the United States, first proposed that autism, also known in medicine as autism, is a disease that has not yet been known and understood by the whole society.
Unlike diseases such as Down syndrome, autism does not affect the patient's face, so the appearance of autistic patients is no different from that of normal people. Autism is a lifelong developmental disorder caused by neurological disorders affecting brain function, and the patients are mostly children.
2 April 2022 is the 15th World Autism Day, the theme is to focus on autism services, build a social security mechanism, and promote the high-quality development of service institutions to raise people's attention to autistic people.
Kids who focus on the stars aren't just autistic days
Eye avoidance, lack of communication, stereotypical repetition of behavior...
There is such a group of children, they are always immersed in their own world, people have a hard time getting into their hearts.
They are not "outliers", but autistic people bound by disease, also known as "children of the stars".
Today is World Autism Day, caring for people with autism! Light up the starry sky and let the children of the stars have love and not be alone.
If music has a shape, may it turn into a pair of warm hands that awaken the sleeping heart and open the door of the world for children.
People with autism are often referred to as "children of the stars" who twinkle alone in their own world.
Xiao Dai, 17 years old this year, is an autistic teenager
From an early age, he was interested in music and played a variety of instruments such as pottery flutes, gourd wires, and flutes.
Today, Xiao Dai is responsible for the pottery flute playing in the Shenzhen Ett Orchestra
The performers of this particular orchestra are mostly teenagers with autism like Xiao Dai.
Music, let them try to get out of that world, stand on this "stage" facing the public, sparkling.
What are the manifestations of autism?
1. In terms of social development:
Lack of secure attachment relationships with parents
Lack of eye contact when in contact with people
2. In terms of communication:
There are language communication disorders and language development is lagging behind
Constantly repeat what others have said or advertised
3. In terms of conduct:
Refuse to change habits in daily life
Narrow interests and great focus on certain items
Hyperactivity and distraction
How can parents detect their children's autistic tendencies early?
Early signs
Six months: no big smiles or happy expressions
Nine months: No voices, smiles, or facial expressions interacting with those around you
Twelve months: no baby language, lack of reflection of others calling their names, no interaction with the posture of those around them (pointing to something, reaching for something, or waving)
Sixteen months: No language
Twenty-four months: No meaningful two-word phrases (imitating someone else or repeating what someone else says doesn't count)
If the early signs are met, parents should take their child to a doctor for evaluation as soon as possible. But also be aware that not necessarily autism is necessarily a sign of it.
Optimal DRY Expectations for Autism:
In general, before the age of 8 years is the best dry expectation for autism. Among them, before the age of 3 is the golden period for language learning for children with autism.
The younger the age, the greater the plasticity of brain development, so early detection and early intervention are the most important basic strategies for rehabilitation education for children with autism.
Can autism be completely cured?
There is currently no specific drug that can completely cure autism. The most recognized and effective treatment in the world is rehabilitation.
The significance of early detection, early diagnosis, and early intervention is not to change the biological nature of autism, but to develop behavioral skills that they share with normally developing children.
Improve autism symptoms together to learn these methods
1. Social interaction training
Parents often take their children to other people's homes as guests, and when children are willing to contact others, they give praise in time. At the same time, encourage children to cooperate with their partners to play games, such as shooting balls together, jumping rope, and pushing toy trolleys.
2. Parent-child physical contact
Parents let the child sit on the lap of the adult, or stand in front of the adult, through talking to the child, touching, hugging, kissing and other intimate parent-child relationship expression, let the child feel "love"
3. Play more games
Take your child to skateboarding, swings, balance and other games. This has a good effect on alleviating behavioral disorders and increasing communication.
4. Call-up response training
Parents take the initiative to look at the child, if the child begins to look at the parents, the parents immediately give praise and encouragement. In addition, parents call their children's names loudly and clearly, ask their children to answer loudly, and then gradually let them call the names of other children and learn to deal with others
They are as pure as the stars, as lonely as the stars.
They may not be able to gaze into your eyes, but crave your attention
They may not be able to express themselves properly, but they also need to communicate
They may be right next to you and me.
Together, we guard the Children of the Stars.
