Is autism screening for children good?

Childhood autism is a common disease in daily life. It can cause great harm to children's physical and mental health, so it must receive widespread attention. So is autism screening for children a good idea? Most parents are not very clear about this issue. In fact, screening for autism in children is very beneficial to the growth of children. It can detect children with autism in a timely manner, so as to provide timely treatment and avoid missing the best time for treatment.

1. Children with autism are also called "star children". Autism in children begins in infancy and manifests itself through language function, that is, children aged two or three cannot speak and are not interested in things. It also includes children who can speak but their language ability declines or even disappears when they are three or four years old.

2. Children with autism also have severe impairment in social interaction skills. After the baby is 6 months old, he cannot distinguish between his parents and relatives, cannot perceive emotions, has no desire or ability to communicate, neither participates nor feels pain, and does not envy. He rarely speaks, speaks very few words, and gradually stops speaking altogether.

3. Experts say that autistic children have a narrow range of interests and are often obsessed with a certain object such as a piece of paper or a ball of yarn. "Parents can compare their children with other children to see, firstly, their language development and secondly, whether their interests gradually expand with their age," said Qu Weijie.

4. If you find that your child has any abnormalities in language, emotions, interests, intelligence, etc., parents should take their children to the psychology or psychiatry department as soon as possible, and place psychological and physical examinations of the child on an equal footing to avoid missing the best treatment period. During the treatment stage, we need to rely on professional institutions and have professionals combine specific theories and facilities to provide professional, systematic and personalized treatment for sick children.
