What are the manifestations of autism in children?

Hello; Director Meng of Chengdu Qingyang District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine tells you; Autism is a disease that many children will have. As the family members of patients, we must pay attention to the symptoms of children's autism. Once it appears, you must go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and you must not delay the diagnosis and treatment. So what are the characteristics of childhood autism?

Characteristics of autism in children:

1, narrow interest, rigid and repetitive behavior, and strong demand for unchanged environment.

Autistic children tend to focus on one or several games or activities for a long time, such as being fascinated by rotating the pot cover, placing building blocks monotonously, being keen on watching TV advertisements and weather forecasts, and having no interest in cartoons, children's TV and movies that ordinary children like. Some children eat the same food every day, go out the same route, and defecate in the same toilet. If anything changes, they will cry and make a scene, showing obvious anxiety. They refuse to change their old habits and behaviors, and it is difficult for them to adapt to the new environment. Most children also show aimless activities, excessive activities, monotonous repetition of jumping, clapping, waving, running, spinning, and some even self-injury, such as repeatedly picking their nostrils, picking their mouths, biting their lips, sucking and so on.

2. Most of them are backward and unbalanced in intellectual development.

Most children's intelligence development is slower than their peers, and a few children's intelligence is normal or close to normal. However, some of them are surprisingly good at some aspects of intellectual activities, which is incredible. Many children have strong mechanical memory, especially for words and symbols. For example, a 4-year-old child especially likes to read. When he sees a word he doesn't know, he will take the initiative to ask others and remember it only once. Because of this, he can read children's story books fluently without difficulty, which shows that he has a large vocabulary, but when he wants to express himself in words, he has obvious difficulties, which shows that they have defects in understanding and using language.

3, lonely, will not establish normal contact with others.

That is, they lack the tendency to communicate with others. Some children show this autism feature from infancy. For example, they have never been close to their parents since childhood and don't like being held by others. When people wanted to pick him up, they didn't reach out and showed their expectation of docking him. They don't take the initiative to play with children. When others play with him, they show avoidance and don't answer the phone. They always like to act alone and play by themselves. Some children don't refuse others, but they don't communicate with their children, that is, they lack social skills. For example, when looking for a child, you either suddenly slap someone in the face, suddenly rob someone, or suddenly hug someone, and then leave by yourself. It seems that patting people is not to find someone to contact, but just an action, or only the form of contact, without the content and purpose of contact. Their loneliness also shows that they don't care about things around them. They seem to turn a deaf ear and turn a blind eye. They do whatever they want, have no scruples, and no one cares. What happened around them seems to have nothing to do with him, and it is difficult to arouse his interest and attention. Their eyes often change, and it is not easy to stay on what others let him pay attention to. They seem to live in their own land in Xiaotian. In addition, their eyes don't look at each other or even avoid each other's eyes, and their eyes will wander during normal activities. They often squint at people, squint or look out of the corner of their eyes, rarely look people in the eye and never say hello.

4. Language barriers are very prominent.

Most children seldom talk. In severe cases, they are almost silent for life and have limited vocabulary. Even if some children can talk, they often don't want to talk, preferring to use gestures instead. Some people can talk, but their voices are very small, very low or repeat monotonous words to themselves. Some children can only imitate what others have said and can't speak in their own language. Many children don't ask or answer questions, but just repeat other people's questions. Language communication is often manifested in the confusion and inversion of pronouns, such as "you" and "he" replacing themselves. There are also many autistic children who often scream, sometimes until they are 5-6 years old or even longer.

What are the characteristics of autism in children? At present, many people have a certain understanding of the symptoms and manifestations of autism. Therefore, as parents of patients, they should take their children to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. For the treatment of autism, Chinese medicine therapy is generally chosen.
