Chapter VI Autistic Children

Lin Yuexi stood beside the princess, observing Jun Chenxi's behavior, and was even more sure that Jun Chenxi had autism, and the main characteristics of autism are indifference to emotions, refusal to communicate, language retardation, and repetitive and stereotyped behavior. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAutism was generally incurable in ancient times, and people in ancient times thought it was a kind of dementia disease.

Lin Yuexi remembered that her former colleague's child was an autistic patient, and her colleague told her a lot about autism. She said that she heard from a psychiatrist that there are three reasons for the formation of autism: 1. Genetic factors: the probability of developing the disease is higher in siblings of children than others, and the rate of the same disease in monozygotic twins is higher. Forty-one percent of the children had a long Y chromosome, and their fathers and brothers also had a long Y chromosome, indicating that the disease was related to genetic factors. 2. Organic factors: children with this disease have a history of perinatal injury more than normal children, including early death, dystocia, asphyxia, labor problems, etc. Patients who have suffered from membrane, encephalitis, and traumatic brain injury after birth have a higher incidence of this disease. In recent years, MRI studies have found that the fourth ventricle is enlarged, the cerebellar vermis is underdeveloped, and the brainstem is significantly smaller. 3. Environmental factors: Some people believe that the lack of abundant and appropriate stimuli in the early life environment and the failure to teach social behavior are also important factors in the onset of the disease. Children's voices that have been in a monotonous environment for a long time tend to use repetitive movements to stimulate themselves, but are not interested in the external environment.

Lin Yuexi believes that Jun Chenxi's illness may be due to environmental factors, due to the stimulation in her early years, she is reluctant to contact people, and even rejects people, but the lack of abundant and appropriate stimulation in her life.

Colleagues also said that patients with autism will have the following manifestations: one of the manifestations of autism, loneliness and isolation, and will not establish normal connections with people. Children with autism do not like to be close to people from infancy, and even in the face of their parents, they will feel alienated and do not respond to their parents' calls and closeness. When the family wants to pick him up, he will not reach out to show the posture of expecting to be held, and there is no discomfort of separation in the face of his parents who are off work.

The second manifestation of autism is the lack of social communication skillsChildren with autism do not interact with children, and when they play with children, they often suddenly pat people or pull off their clothes, and then turn around and leave. Most of the time it's playing there by yourself, or looking out in a daze by yourself.

Autism manifestations: 3. Indifference to the surroundingsChildren with autism are often indifferent to the things around them, and seem to hear and turn a blind eye. They do whatever they want, without scruples, if there is no one around, what happens around them seems to have nothing to do with him, it is difficult to arouse his interest and attention, their eyes change frequently, it is not easy to stay on the things that others ask him to pay attention to, they seem to live in their own little world. In addition, they do not look at each other or even avoid each other's gaze, their eyes wander when they are active, they often squint, squint or look at others, rarely look at each other and rarely smile, and never greet people.

The fourth manifestation of autism is that the language disorder is prominent. Most children with autism speak very little, and even if they are speechless, some are reluctant to speak, but only use gestures instead, or whisper to themselves and repeat some monotonous words. Some children imitate what others have said and do not use their own words. Many children do not know how to ask or answer questions, and their language communication is often manifested in confusion and reversal of pronouns, such as often replacing himself with "you" and "he". There are also many children with autism who often scream, and this situation can sometimes last until 5~6 years old or longer.

Autism Manifestation 5: Narrow interests, stereotyped and repetitive behaviorChildren with autism often focus on one or several games or activities for a long time, such as being obsessed with rotating the lid of the pot, monotonously placing building blocks, keen to watch TV commercials and weather forecasts, facing cartoons that children usually like, children's TV and movies are not interested, some children have to eat the same meals every day, go out to take the same route, require the same toilet for defecation, and cry and fuss if there is a change. Most children also show aimless activities, excessive activities, monotonous and repetitive jumping, clapping, waving, running and spinning, and some even self-harm and self-harm, such as repeatedly picking their nostrils, picking their mouths, biting their lips, sucking and other actions.

The sixth manifestation of autism is backward and unbalanced mental development. Most children have slower mental development than children of the same age, and a few children have normal or near-normal intelligence. However, some of them are surprisingly good in some aspects of intellectual activity, which is incredible, and many children have strong mechanical memory ability, especially the ability to remember words and symbols. For example, a 3- or 4-year-old child who is particularly fond of reading and reading words when he sees a word, and memorizes it after only asking once, for which he can read children's storybooks fluently and effortlessly, shows that he has a lot of vocabulary, but when he wants to use words to express his meaning, there is obvious difficulty in understanding and using language, indicating that they have impaired ability to understand and use language.

Lin Yuexi now remembers that her colleague quit her favorite job for her children and returned to her family to take care of her autistic child. She said that psychologists say that children with autism are generally insecure and need more care, and that the earlier autistic patients are detected, the sooner they are treated, and that treatment is not only the duty of doctors, but also from parents.
