How to detect autism in children

Autism in children needs attention, because if you cannot discover it in time, the impact on the child will become greater and greater in the end. Therefore, it is recommended that every parent must pay attention to whether their children have symptoms of autism during their growth process. Only timely discovery and timely intervention can achieve better results. Therefore, every parent should pay attention to whether their children have this phenomenon in life.

Early detection and early intervention are important

The best treatment period for autism in children is 3-6 years old. If the best treatment opportunity is missed, no matter how it is treated, their intelligence and behavior can only remain at the infancy stage. However, if the treatment is not timely, it will lead to lifelong disability and even the ability to take care of themselves. Even when they grow up and have the opportunity to receive the best education, a considerable number of people will still not be able to adapt well to society in the future, that is, they will not be able to live well like normal people. Therefore, experts remind parents that early detection and early intervention are important.

How can parents detect it early? Mainly look at whether there are three core symptoms: 1. Social interaction disorder. For example, children often do not respond when called, lack attachment to their parents, and lack interest in their peers. 2. Language communication barriers. Half of the children have delayed language development and usually still cannot speak at the age of two or three; some children, even if they have language, cannot communicate normally with others and do not look people in the eye when speaking. For example, some children speak like parrots. When adults say "Say hello to auntie", they also say "Say hello to auntie"; some repeat the words and keep saying the same thing. 3. Stereotyped repetitive behaviors or narrow interests. Children with this disorder have narrow interests, such as being obsessed with wheels, round wooden sticks, etc.; they also often have stereotyped repetitive movements, such as biting their fingers, turning in circles, etc. 4. The child cannot speak for unknown reasons after the age of one, has anxiety about separation from the mother, lacks response to teasing, and often hides in a corner alone to play single and meaningless games such as cartwheels.

In life, parents may pay more attention to the physical health of their children, so they buy them various nutritional health products as much as possible. But in fact, their psychological problems cannot be ignored. If psychological problems are affected by adverse factors, it will also cause great harm to their healthy growth.
