What is autism

People with autism are a very unintegrated group in life, and you can easily distinguish them in the crowd. Some of the symptoms of autistic patients are just like the name of the disease. Generally speaking, some symptoms of autism are social disorders, communication disorders, or repetitive movements. This disease needs to be treated slowly and not too hastily.

Patients with autism have no concept of life and only know what they have to do. Some autistic patients are unwilling to communicate too much with others. It is not that they cannot speak, but they just do not know how to communicate.

Autism, also known as autism or autistic disorder, is a pervasive developmental disorder (PDD).

Clinical manifestations

The disease usually begins within 36 months of age and is manifested by three core symptoms: social interaction disorders, communication disorders, narrow interests, and stereotyped repetitive behaviors.

Social interaction disorder

Children with this disease have qualitative defects in social interaction. In infancy, children avoid eye contact, lack interest and response to people's voices, do not expect to be picked up, or are stiff and unwilling to get close to people when picked up. In the early childhood, the child still avoids eye contact, often does not respond when called, does not develop attachment to his parents, lacks interest in interacting or playing with children of the same age, cannot interact with children of the same age in an appropriate manner, cannot establish partnerships with children of the same age, does not share happiness with others, and does not seek comfort from others when encountering unhappiness or being hurt.

Communication disorders

1. Non-verbal communication disorder Children with this disorder often express their discomfort or needs by crying or screaming. Older children may hold an adult's hand and walk towards what they want. They lack corresponding facial expressions and often appear indifferent. They rarely use actions such as nodding, shaking their heads, or waving their hands to express their wishes.

2. Speech communication disorder Children with this disease have obvious speech communication disorders, including: ① Language comprehension is impaired to varying degrees; ② Speech development is delayed or undeveloped. Some children have expressive speech before the age of 2-3, but it gradually decreases or even disappears completely;

The above is some information about what autism is. I believe that after reading it, you can clearly understand some knowledge about this disease. If there are people with autism in our lives, we should be more patient in communicating with them, understand what they are thinking in their minds, and give them encouragement.
