Four-year-old with autism

The onset of autism in a four-year-old child has a lot to do with the attitude of the parents. If our parents lack love and care for our children, it will easily cause the children to lack communication with others, thus causing the children to develop symptoms of being silent. Therefore, parents should teach their children to speak more before the child is four years old, and take their children out to play with other children, which can prevent symptoms of autism. Regarding the symptoms of autism in four-year-olds, we can understand the content of the article.

Childhood autism, also known as autism, is a more serious developmental disorder. It is a developmental disorder involving perception, emotion, language, thinking, movement and behavior. It is not caused by a single general reason, but a syndrome of disorders from multiple reasons. It manifests itself in lack of communication or communication skills with others, lack of a secure attachment relationship with parents, etc. Or there is a delay in language development, or language regression after normal language development, or the language lacks communicative properties. Insensitivity to pain, special fear or preference for certain sounds or images, etc. Behaviors include hyperactivity, distractibility, temper tantrums, aggression, and self-injury. This type of behavior may be related to the fact that parents often use beating, scolding or punishment in their education.

Symptoms of autism:

1. Barriers in interpersonal relationships: Autistic patients lack the ability to learn and recognize the relationship between themselves and others and basic social coping skills. Therefore, from early childhood, they may ignore people, not look at people, lack response to people, are not afraid of strangers, have difficulty establishing family relationships with relatives, lack the imitation learning of ordinary children, cannot play with other children, have difficulty understanding other people's emotions and feelings, and cannot express their emotions in a way that is acceptable to ordinary people.

2. Language and communication barriers: People with autism have varying degrees of difficulty in understanding other people’s spoken language, body language, or expressing their meaning through language, gestures, and facial expressions. About 50% of autistic children do not have communicative language; autistic children with language often show characteristics such as parrot-like echoing, pronoun reversal, irrelevant answers, and lack of voice tone changes.

3. Behavioral identity: Autistic children often have some fixed habits or ways of playing that are different from those of normal children, such as taking a certain route when going out, special and fixed clothing, food, housing and transportation habits, narrow and special interests, monotonous and repetitive ways of playing without changes, fixed environment layout, etc. If there is a slight change, they cannot accept it and resist and cry. The golden period for treating autism is before the age of 6, so early detection of autism in children is crucial. It also determines whether the child can recover early and reduce the harm caused by autism to the child.
