Symptoms and treatments of autism in children

Recently, there are more and more cases of autism in children. This phenomenon has had a great impact on our parents and children. Children with autism are unwilling to communicate too much with the outside world, which prevents our children from growing up normally and healthily. There are many reasons for this, which may be closely related to the environment around us. The family environment has a great impact on children. Autism affects the future of our children. Maybe everyone does not know much about the manifestations of autism. Let us learn about the manifestations of autism in children and how to treat them!

Performance:

1. Social communication barriers. It is generally manifested in lack of communication or communication skills with others, lack of a secure attachment relationship with parents, etc.

2. Language communication barriers. Delayed language development, or regression after normal language development, or lack of communicative nature of language.

3. Repeat stereotyped behaviors.

4. Intellectual abnormality. About 70% of autistic children have intellectual disabilities, but they may have strong abilities in certain areas. 20% have intelligence within the normal range, and about 10% have supernormal intelligence. Most children have good memory, especially in mechanical memory.

5. Abnormal sensation. It manifests as insensitivity to pain, special fear or liking of certain sounds or images, etc. 6. Other common behaviors include hyperactivity, distraction, 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.

Treatment:

1. Psychotherapy: Supportive psychotherapy is very important for the improvement and recovery of the disease. First of all, patients should understand the nature of the disease, so as to relieve them of unnecessary mental burdens and build up their confidence in overcoming the disease. Secondly, we should guide patients to express their inner distress, help them analyze the gap between their own understanding and objective reality, and make them realize that there must be a basis for what they say and do. Analyze personal life events calmly and avoid being emotional. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, increase cultural and sports activities, learn to relax yourself, and make your life rich and fulfilling.

2. Speech therapy: The assistance of speech therapists is very important. Analyze the children's speech development in detail, then develop appropriate training methods and integrate these methods into the children's daily life. In addition, adjust the method according to his progress. Help everyone who works with children learn these treatments.

3. Medical therapy: Due to the influence of theories advocating the relationship between autism and schizophrenia, there was a time when the treatment for schizophrenia was often used in the treatment of autistic patients. Therefore, some drugs for the treatment of schizophrenia are also used in the treatment of autism. However, due to the great differences between autism and schizophrenia, and the fact that there is hardly a drug that can effectively treat all the symptoms of autistic patients, medical treatments mainly focus on dealing with some physiological problems of autistic patients, controlling behavioral problems (such as hyperactivity), or preventing the occurrence of autism through genetic counseling. In addition, some studies have pointed out that drug treatment can be considered as part of the overall treatment of autism. Through evaluation, medication analysis, diagnosis and multiple effect evaluations, drug therapy can also be considered a safe treatment for some autistic patients.
