What are the specific contents of autism care principles ?

The basic goal of autism rehabilitation is not to cure or completely normalize, but to enable autistic patients to achieve maximum recovery and compensation in physical, psychological, occupational, and social aspects through medical, educational, vocational, and social rehabilitation. In order to help autistic patients recover as quickly as possible, it is very important to provide care in accordance with autism care principles.

1. Early detection of abnormalities and early intervention : Early detection of abnormalities and early intervention are the key to achieving the best rehabilitation results. The brain grows and develops rapidly during infancy and childhood, and has strong compensatory and plasticity, making it the best period for learning. During this period, external stimulation therapy and functional training can enable patients to continuously correct abnormalities, learn and establish normal patterns and functions during the rehabilitation process, and achieve the best results.

2. Comprehensive rehabilitation : Comprehensive rehabilitation is patient-centered, formulates a comprehensive and systematic rehabilitation training plan, and conducts coordinated comprehensive rehabilitation to achieve the patient's physical and mental recovery.

3. Integration with daily life : The abnormal movement and posture patterns of autistic patients are reflected in daily life, so rehabilitation must be closely integrated with daily life movements. In addition to formal rehabilitation training, parents and caregivers should also be trained to carry out family rehabilitation, pay attention to the correct holding posture and transfer method, the patient's nutritional status, immune function, living environment and conditions, prevent complications, make and use simple and practical assistive devices, etc. Not only does it enable patients to learn daily living skills, but they also learn and pay attention to maintaining normal movement and posture patterns, inhibiting abnormal patterns, and actively participating in rehabilitation training.

4. Conform to the developmental characteristics of children : Both normal children and disabled children have the nature of children and need fun, games, a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, guidance, induction, repeated learning and time, and continuous perception, feeling, learning and practice, so as to establish a normal pattern and achieve physical and mental development. Therefore, the rehabilitation treatment of autism must be in line with the growth characteristics and needs of children. In rehabilitation treatment, the environment, atmosphere, and conditions must be taken into consideration.
