13span Behaviors are typical problem behaviors in the development of autism children. They are not only strange to outsiders, but also hinder children from establishing good relationships with others, hindering daily life, learning, and even some self-stimulating behaviors will affect themselves And the safety of others. Therefore, parents and teachers should pay attention to the self-stimulation behavior of autistic children, and carry out scientific and reasonable interventions to reduce the impact of self-stimulation behavior.
Types and performance of self-stimulation
40 different parts of self-stimulation can be divided into different parts of the head lipan
40 span_span: : Knocking, heading, scratching, shaking head, etc.;
How to intervene?
Before intervening in behavior, it is necessary to analyze the function of behavior. Self-stimulation behavior usually has the following 3 functions: Including attention)
Because children with autism have weak language expression skills, they are often unable to express their thoughts in words, so they often use self-stimulation behaviors instead of language communication. Self-stimulation behaviors often appear when they want to get attention from others, such as mothers doing housework in the kitchen, and children's head knocking to get the attention of their parents.
2. Escape
The purpose of escape activities is achieved through self-stimulation, which often occurs during homework training or other activities that children do not like.
3. Sensory stimulation
A study has pointed out that children with autism have sensory integration disorders. The abnormal sensory input received by the brain leads to abnormal behavioral output. Arouse children’s sensory stimulation and play a self-reinforcing role,So as to form a stereotyped repetitive behavior.

When alone or without a clear task, the frequency of self-stimulation increases. On the contrary, when children with autism participate in outdoor activities, or plan to guide children to participate in play activities, self-stimulation behavior decreases. Therefore, rational and scientific scheduling of children with autism can effectively reduce the appearance of self-stimulation.
2. Provide incompatible activities
For example, provide picture books for children with autism who like to play with their tongues; children who want to imitate the movement of the body and like to follow along Children who play hands provide manual activities such as beading, building blocks, and paper-cutting.
3. Provide alternative activities
When children with autism show self-stimulation to escape, they should be taught to express correctly, such as shaking their heads or saying not to When the behavioral function of stimulation is to obtain something, teach the child to express his needs through finger pointing, or pulling and pulling the adult's hand; when the child's self-stimulating behavior is for sensory stimulation, it needs to provide the same sensory stimulation activity,If children obtain vestibular stimulation by rotating and swinging their bodies, they can provide entertainment activities such as swinging and rolling on the ball.
4. Stimulation control
The operation method of stimulus control is to present two different stimuli to children and allow children to have problem behaviors under one stimulus. Not allowed under another stimulus. If the child likes to rotate the body, the parent prepares a red card and a green card. When in the mall, the child is not allowed to rotate when the mother shows the red card; at home, the child can be allowed to rotate when the green card is shown. Its purpose is to improve children's social adaptability, which can obtain sensory stimulation without affecting others.
Each autistic child has different presentation methods, times and occasions of self-stimulation. The specific strategy to be used needs to be selected according to the actual situation. Interfering with the self-stimulation behavior of children with autism is a task that requires a long time and great patience. However, in order to reduce the impact of children on themselves and others, and to better integrate into the collective and society, correct intervention is still of great significance.
