It can promote the functional development of children in various fields; improving children's language, social, intellectual and other aspects of ability is the most direct and effective way for autistic children to recover. Parents should insist on training their children to intervene!
I hope that everyone can take action and truly care for the vulnerable groups,
Recently, because of the serious epidemic in some parts of the country, many families have been locked at home for more than N days, for ordinary families, it has become difficult to maintain the family status during the closed state, and for the families of children with autism, they may face 100 times the pressure, and the degree of difficulty can be imagined.
And what parents are most worried about is probably what to do if their children are infected positive and want to be pulled to the square cabin? Today, we will talk about how to protect our autistic children under the epidemic.
#一. Will the child be isolated if he is infected?
Under the epidemic, the biggest challenge facing raising autistic children is isolation. In the Warm star community, parents of children with autism have proposed:
What should I do if a special child is infected? The environment of the square cabin is not suitable for star babies. At present, only the families of infants and young children are allowed to accompany them, and no special people have been considered.
Yes, once a child with autism is separated from his parents and isolated, the consequences are unimaginable. Most autistic children cannot take care of themselves in life, if they are not prepared, they are pulled away, facing a completely unfamiliar environment alone, not only can not guarantee their own safety, but also affect the surrounding environment and people.
Previously, there was a stipulation that children were isolated and admitted, and parents could only accompany them if they were positive, which meant that if the parents were negative, they could not accompany and take care of them.
Fortunately, the government has now introduced a new policy, for some children with special needs, the guardian voluntarily applied, after fully understanding the possible health risks and signing a letter of commitment, can accompany. (Parents must bring their children with them as proof of special people.) ）
Parents don't have to worry too much, special groups such as autistic children have exclusive control areas.
#二. If you have to isolate, how to choose?
If your child is positive for an infection, we recommend:
1. Home isolation is preferred. Once there is a problem, in the case of mild and asymptomatic disease, Warmstar recommends that it is best to choose parents and children to apply for home isolation together, and not to crowd out the resources of society. Strictly adhere to the rules of not leaving the house during the home quarantine period, and have a good isolation from the neighbors. Of course, this option also requires the consent of neighbors.
2. It is better to control in the square cabin than to go to mental health centers, let alone to isolation hospitals in other places. The square cabin can be accompanied by parents, there is an activity area, and the mental health center is not allowed to accompany parents. Isolation from the field is not much good for children with autism.
3. The isolation hotel is in a closed small room, the advantage is to be able to live alone, will not affect others, there is no risk of cross infection, relatively safe; the disadvantage is that the space is too small, may not necessarily be suitable for autistic children, parents need to make judgments according to the specific situation of their children.
Here are two details and precautions:
1. If the area where the family is located has not been sealed, but the possibility of blockade is relatively high, parents can make some preparations in advance, such as fully communicating with the community first, so that they can better understand the child's situation, in case there is a positive family, they come to the door to perform the transfer isolation, so as not to stimulate the child because of some words and deeds. Parents should also consider how to appease, guide and so on if the child is really stimulated.
2. Parents can ask their children to make a list of items they want to bring when they are isolated, which can often help children maintain emotional stability and have something to do, such as mobile phones, game consoles, puzzles, comics and so on.
#三. What will star baby face if she is pulled to the square cabin?
If the star baby is pulled to the square cabin, it may face the following:
First, the cabin hospital is a small compartment, every day people come in and out, very noisy, the unfamiliar environment disrupts the original state of life, children are easy to be in a tense and anxious state at all times.
Second, the people who enter the cabin are generally not in a good mood, and if the child has bad behavior, most of them will blame the child's parents and ask the parents to pay attention to the child's behavior.
Third, many autistic children will be sensitive to the smell of disinfectant water, and some autistic children will be hysterical because of disinfectant water, running around and trying to escape.
Fourth, during the quarantine, the child may be emotionally unstable and the condition may be worse. Parents should give feedback to the staff of the isolation point in time, and they can also strive for psychiatric treatment resources from the staff to control the condition first.
In addition, parents also need to be mentally prepared, if the child is overreacting, they may use sedative drugs for the child.
A mother shared a case in the group: there was a star baby in her community who was pulled to the square cabin for isolation, because the environment was strange, there was no familiar quilt, the child was in a crazy state two days ago, constantly shouting, non-stop running, many people could not catch it, and the people around them could not sleep, so they were complained by many people. Mom and Dad contacted the special education teacher to see if she could make the child quiet, and after the special education teacher reported the matter to the Shanghai Mental Health Center, he finally suggested that only medication could be used. At present, the child has been gone for 7 days, taking the sedative drugs provided by the hospital every day to stabilize his mood, adapting to a lot, using the medicine (injection) three times, and has stopped the injection.
#四. Supplementary precautions
First, the child's sense of security comes from the basic needs are not met, or the environment is not adapted. If the child is pulled to the square cabin, parents should be equipped with what the child likes to eat, bring the items that the child relies on, the most important reason for the child's noise is the lack of security, and try to meet the child's security needs through these things.
Second, at present, the control of the cabin is relatively humane, and most of the requirements of the child can still be met. Others do not understand the needs of children, only parents know their children best, so some requirements also need to be put forward by parents themselves.
Third, parents should fully communicate with the personnel of the isolation point, one may be able to win some humane care, and the other can also be prepared for the worst if necessary emergency hospitalization.
Fourth, parents must not be nervous and anxious. Once there is, we must stabilize our emotions, and stabilizing our emotions is the first condition for solving things.
Finally, we hope that every parent can take good care of their children, and we hope that all special groups of people, including children with autism, can get the attention of society and the government during the epidemic, and hope that everyone can take action to effectively care for vulnerable groups.
