Is autism serious

summary

My neighbor has a child who was very lively and lovely when he was young, but now he has autism. It's just that his autism came from his parents' divorce. His father is very busy driving and sometimes he is not at home for several days. He leaves him at home to be taken care of by his neighbors. His father likes to drink when he is not driving. If he drinks too much, he will beat him. Now he takes a lot of drugs and his health is poor OK, do you want to know the severity of autism? Let me talk to you about the severity of autism.

Is autism serious

First: fixed reaction to people and things: say fixed words to relatives or strangers, do fixed actions, do not know how to change according to people, time and place; treat toys or some items in a fixed way; depend on some items and often take them with you. For example, toys of the same color are often placed or stacked together, or placed in a straight line. It seems that the ability of "classification" is strong, but it is not conscious, purposeful or acting according to instructions.

Second: there are fixed rituals in daily life: they are often expressed before and after eating, before and after sleeping, before and after going to the toilet, before going out and when just coming home, they will say fixed words and do fixed actions, which are called ritual behaviors.

Third: self stimulation: many autistic children have fixed "use methods" for their bodies, such as: squinting at people, walking on tiptoe, playing with their own voice (shouting, laughing, talking to themselves), touching their lips, ears or other body parts with their hands, playing with fingers, clapping hands, stamping feet, rocking their bodies back and forth, turning in circles in situ, etc.

matters needing attention

This disease needs attention: some autistic children are not sensitive to dangerous things, for example, some children are used to climbing, or like to run around, so they should pay attention to safety considerations. Autistic children lack the ability to endure setbacks, so to teach a new skill, it's better to find the part that they can do first, let them have a sense of achievement first, and then teach step by step.
