In September 2022, a mother and her 3-year-old and 9-month-old daughter Wenwen (pseudonym) stepped into the consultation room of Dr. Xiong Qi of Strawberry Hospital. Moreover, the child's temper is very large, he is easily excited, and it is difficult to be appeased, and his personality is relatively stubborn. During the whole consultation, Wenwen and Dr. Xiong made very little eye contact, ignored her name, had poor overall listening to instructions, and kept repeating words.
Subsequently, Dr. Xiong prescribed a series of professional examinations and evaluations based on Wenwen's condition, and finally Wenwen was diagnosed with: developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder. Based on Wenwen's diagnosis, Dr. Xiong prescribed a series of customized treatment plans for the child, such as cognitive dysfunction training, speech training, music therapy, and sensory integration training.
Therapist Teacher Luo reported that when Wenwen first entered the training, he had poor adaptability, refused to enter the classroom, would show behaviors such as screaming and crying, continued to show restlessness during class, often talked to himself, had abnormal pitch and rhythm when speaking, did not follow the teacher's instructions, and knew nothing about the concept of space up and down, the relative concept of size and basic life knowledge! Until March this year, after a year and a half of training, Wenwen's adaptability in all aspects has been significantly improved, there is no screaming and crying behavior, emotional problems have been significantly reduced, and he can clearly express his emotional needs to the teacher. Establish a basic sense of rules and order, be able to understand and follow group instructions, reduce self-talk, increase social expression, and be able to engage in interactive games and situational performance dialogues. Will actively participate in imaginary games, cooperative games, competitive games, etc. After passing the phased training, Wenwen's overall cognition, comprehension, expression, and social communication skills have been significantly improved. From the comparative evaluation before and after training:
[Geisel results at the time of training in September 2022:] - Adaptability: 63, gross motor: 67, fine motor: 62, verbal 55, personal-social: 50, ABC scale: 71. S-S assessment results: comprehension ability is about 3 years old, expression ability is about 2 years and 11 months, operation ability is about 2 years and 11 months, and communication attitude group II.
[November 2023 Geisel Results] – Adaptability: 80, Major Motor: 73, Fine Motor: 64, Language 81, Personal-Social: 79. S-S assessment results: comprehension ability is about 4 years and 11 months, expression ability is about 4 years and 11 months, operation ability is about 4.6-4.9 years, and communication attitude I group.
What's even happier is that throughout the training process, Wenwen has become more and more able to integrate into the group, and now he will consciously choose friends and establish friendships, and he has made new friends in the treatment room, and his personality has become cheerful, not to mention how happy the parents of the children are!
[5 ways to teach you to easily and quickly identify whether your child has autistic tendencies]
Many parents can't tell whether their children are introverted or autistic. Autism is a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by social communication disorders, verbal and non-verbal communication disorders, narrow interests, and stereotyped behaviors. According to the World Health Organization, autism spectrum disorder has a prevalence of about 1% of the population. According to statistics, the incidence of autism in China is 0.7%-1.0%, and there are more than 14 million people with autism spectrum disorder in China, including about 3 million children aged 0 to 14.
So how can parents identify autism early, and teach you a "five nos" method to quickly identify autism:
1. Don't look: children with autism don't look at people or rarely look at people, have no eye contact and eye contact, and can't express their feelings and needs with their eyes;
2. Don't speak: can't speak or can only speak simple language, some are manifested as imitation of other people's speech or repetitive stereotyped language, no social language and dialogue;
3. Non-fingering: do not use or rarely use fingers to express their needs, often normal children can use fingers or body language well to express their needs and ideas;
4. Not listening: A child with autism does not respond to others calling him (her) by name, and will not or is unwilling to interact with others;
5. Inappropriate: This refers to improper behavior, such as children who are not interested in anything and always repeat meaningless stereotyped actions, such as spinning in circles, playing with coins, etc.
If you find that your child has any of the above conditions, do not hesitate to seek medical attention as soon as possible, for children with autism, early detection, early diagnosis and early intervention are the key, especially before the age of 3 rehabilitation intervention can often achieve good results.
