chatted with me and said: Baby
is 17 months old, and other children are beginning to talk. My child can't even basic parents.
doesn't respond when he calls his name. He just likes to play with his toy car every day, and walks away when he stays with other children.
A friend said that my child has symptoms of autism, but went to the hospital to check that it was suspected of being autistic. Does this mean that the child is normal?
Many parents may even get a doctor's diagnosis of suspected autism, but still feel uneasy, because their children do have objective abilities and behavior problems. But the child cannot be diagnosed whether it is autism, and why?
We need to first understand what is suspected of autism .
The so-called "suspect" means that the child's various behaviors are very similar to the performance of autism, or some of the performances are the same, but they are not satisfied with the typical performance of autism.
For example, if a child does not speak, although one of the diagnostic criteria for autism is language impairment, don’t forget that language delay is also a core manifestation of language lag.
Developmental delay is not necessarily autism, but autism must be accompanied by certain abilities.
And the child does not play with other children, although it is a manifestation of social impairment, but there is another reason, that is the child's own personality problems.
The criteria for judging autism are children’s social communication barriers, communication barriers, and stereotyped repetitive behaviors and interests; generally, children who meet these three conditions at the same time will almost be judged as autistic, but if only those A certain aspect of behavior cannot be judged as autism.
So what behaviors will children have with social barriers, language barriers, and stereotyped repetition?
ONE
lack of social communication skills
autistic children have no motivation for personal communication, and some children, although motivated for personal communication, lack some basic social communication skills. The main manifestations are as follows:
is mainly reflected as follows:
children are not interested in people, and they want to hide when they see people. If the children are not interested in people, then there is no way for social interaction.
Some children have the motivation to interact with people and are interested in people. But he has no social skills.
So when the child runs in front of a person, he wants to play with that person, but he doesn't know how to initiate an invitation. Or if someone sends an invitation to him, he doesn't know how to respond, so it is difficult for him to continue the relationship with others.
also has a child who has the basic ability to interact with people, such as greeting people and answering a question from other people.
But he can’t carry out deep-level social interactions, such as communicating emotions and feelings, so he can’t do
TWO
communication disorders
Most children with autism are diagnosed because their communication is reflected in verbal and nonverbal communication. Compared with children of the same age, they are too far behind.
is mainly reflected in:
children can't imitate, for example: if you ask him to say "ah", the child can't say it. If you ask your child to say "mother" or "table", these difficult words, the child can't say it.
There are some children who can imitate, but they have difficulty when they encounter longer sentences.
There are some children who can imitate long sentences, but they will not actively express them in imitated sentences. For example, if you take an apple without prompting him, he will not tell you that it is an apple.
Some children may be able to answer simple questions, for example, they can answer that this is an apple. But he will not take the initiative to express his needs or ask questions.
The communication ability needs special explanation. Many parents report that "language is no longer one of the criteria for the diagnosis of autism", which may be misunderstood.
Whether a child has [oral language] is not a criterion for judging whether it is autism, but whether a child can communicate with each other can be used as a basis for judgment.
language includes many, such as spoken language, body language, written language, etc. , someChildren do not have spoken language (such as deaf-mute people), but they can communicate through their limbs. However, if children with autism do not receive professional intervention training, it is difficult to use these languages to communicate.
THREE
stereotyped behavior
Many autistic children, stereotyped behavior, narrow interest , they may only be interested in air conditioning panels or electric fans, but they are blind to all kinds of novel things happening around them.
◇ Many children spend a lot of time organizing things that are not important, such as putting the shoes on the floor neatly over and over again; or putting the small boxes on the table neatly over and over again.
◇ Some children are not interested in things that normal children are interested in, such as toys and cartoons, but are obsessed with watching TV commercials, weather forecasts, rotating objects, arranging objects or listening to certain pieces of music, certain monotonous repetitive sounds, etc.
If a child has the above three characteristics, he is probably prone to autism and needs to go to the hospital for diagnosis.
