Introduction: Autistic children usually have weaker motor ability, and the deeper the autism level, the more obvious their defects in physical coordination and reaction ability...
Everyone should know that ASD children have symptoms such as language development disorders, interpersonal communication disorders, abnormal interests, and stereotyped and repetitive behaviors.
But compared to normal children, ASD children have problems with movement disorders, perceptual disorders, and posture control, which is also his core problem.
Movement disorder is an indicator of the earliest stage of ASD and a core feature, not a complication or secondary disease.
So in the early days, what kind of signals can we use to warning and discover?
Abnormal oral shape, lateral asymmetry and fall protection of abnormal reflections, abnormal orientation and object-oriented behavior. Some children will show:
Imitation
Unstable posture
Hyperthy skills difficulty
Hyperthy skills difficulty
Hyperthy difficulty htt ml4
Eye movement abnormality ( strabismus does not look at people)
Gait, balance and coordination ability are impaired...
In diagnostic evaluation, autistic individuals should be systematically examined from the neurobasic theory of motor development.
Sports skills are very important for children's development.
is closely related to learning, socializing, independence, language, emotions, etc. At the same time, moderate exercise also makes people happy and healthy.
Then why do children with ASD have difficulty in exercise?
In the process of finding the cause, it was found that is related to children's cerebellar , damage to the mirror nervous system, sensory disorder , etc.
related research found that children with ASD in
80% ASD will show weakening of motor coordination and are related to the severity of ASD and IQ. The better the early movement control , the lower the degree of autism in the later stage.
In fact, many ASD children have one or more sensory problems and difficulties to deal with. This phenomenon occurs in ordinary people, so ASD is even more complicated.
Then what problems do they have?
can be observed and compared from the aspects of vestibular awareness, proprioception, vision, etc.:
★ASD children with excessive vestibular awareness or too low, and have excessive protothelial awareness, which leads to abnormal posture control and some behavioral performance, such as inability to accept swings and movement.
★ In ASD children, the movement of the eye may be abnormal, alternating vision is common, and the peripheral visual system is incomplete.
For sensory disorders, any sensory integration training treatment will involve "adaptive response" .
Then what is the adaptive reaction?
It is appropriate and accurate to respond to environmental challenges, triggering concentration, adjusting children's abilities to identify, cognitive, establish skills, action planning, behavioral organization, etc.
Arousal , is the awakening state of a child, which is the basis of all behaviors.
This is also a part that needs to be paid attention to.
① Awakening degree is closely related to cognition, emotions, and feelings.
Through the awakening chart below, we can see:
★ When pain and fear are present, the child's awakening will be very high. At this time, parents teach him, but the child will not accept it and guide him to the correct behavior, and he will not do it.
So why do you say that parents should not hit their children and scare them, because they will have such changes.
★ When you are upset, tired, sleepy, or frustrated, your awakening will be very low and there is no way to learn. Children with
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) also have the problem of low awakening.
For example, the child's homework is very procrastinating, and he cannot concentrate and complete the homework on time.
For children with ASD, this is still the case.
② Effect of neurotransmitters on awakening.
When neurotransmitters change, our awakening state will change accordingly, and the most significant thing is our dopamine .
When dopamine is secreted more, our awakening state will be better.
The improvement of awakening can trigger concentration, improve the child's acceptance, and improve his learning skills, self-regulation, action planning, behavioral organization and other abilities.
provides stimulation of the vestibular body. It does not require large movement. It can cause the head to produce positional movement, and it also provides input of vestibular information.
For example: nodding, shaking your head, and turning your head, you can feel the changes in the vestibular body.
Do more exercise → produce more dopamine, and our mood will be different, and our learning ability will be stronger at this time.

For children's abnormal feelings and obstacles to handling, parents need to first conduct a detailed analysis of their problems at each level.
This way, the management support of ASD children can be personalized.
"Sensation menu" gives a timetable to allow children and families to improve their sensory state in close life.
If parents have plenty of spare time, they can also take their children to exercise and play more, which will benefit their children's sensory and exercise abilities.
