The child has autism. What should parents pay attention to? How to help him?

Hello, everyone, I'm Mama Mei, and I'm here to discuss this issue with you.

What should parents pay attention to when the child has autism? How to help him? I wonder how old our child is and whether he has been diagnosed with autism by the doctor. First, let's look at what autism is.

Autism is a brain development disease with poor communication behavior, narrow interest, rigid facial expression and weird behavior. Most children get sick before they are three years old.

Autistic children, language development disorders, rarely take the initiative to communicate with people, never take the initiative to say hello or look at people, play games. Poor response to sound, too. Generally speaking, communicating with autistic children is a kind of dialogue from a distance. When we communicate with such a child, we are basically ignored by him, but this is not his active behavior, but the phenomenon brought by this disease.

Autistic children are deeply lonely and live in their own world, also known as children from the stars. The level of intellectual development is generally low, mental state has been relatively weak, and physical development is slow.

Now that we know that the child has brain development problems. We should fundamentally and effectively stimulate children's brains and provide them with the information base for development to the maximum extent. Children's brains have great potential and plasticity. As long as our work is meticulous and lasting, it will definitely bring some improvement to our children.

Have enough confidence and patience with children. On weekdays, we should consciously teach our children to do things repeatedly. You can refer to the methods written in my article for reference and guidance. It is not easy to insert a link here, please look for it in my article.

I think it will be of great help to you. The child's brain relies on the stimulation of external information to support his development, so it must be carried out from multiple angles.

For any family, it is a heavy blow to learn that their children have been diagnosed or suspected of having autism. Every parent expects their children to grow up healthily and become excellent people. When dreams are shattered, parents are faced with cruel blows and severe tests. As parents, what can we do to help children better?

First of all, face it positively.

1, don't blindly believe that "the nobles speak late";

2, don't blame yourself or complain, feel that your or your family's education method is not good, and try to change the symptoms by changing the parenting style;

3, don't think that children will naturally ... how;

4. Don't waste many opportunities for intervention in order to make a clear diagnosis;

Don't be depressed and disheartened, give up your children, yourself and your family.

Second, look at it objectively.

When doctors point out children's problems, they must take them seriously and make a positive and comprehensive evaluation. Once the symptoms of autism are clear, he should actively give correct intervention and observe and evaluate it at the same time. Our educational intervention is carried out on the basis of applied behavior analysis, which is equally applicable to normal children and has no harm.

Third, build confidence.

Practice has proved that correct educational intervention is indeed helpful to improve the symptoms of autistic children. As long as we persist, we will help our children integrate into society and school to the greatest extent.

Fourth, the method is correct.

1. Parents are at a loss because of various organizations, viewpoints and methods in society and on the Internet. Please keep your eyes open and believe that applied behavior analysis (ABA) is the most helpful method for autistic children.

2. Parents are requested to trust the therapist and keep close relationship with the therapist, so that the therapist can know about food, toys, games, smells, etc. What children like, and help therapists establish a good relationship with children, so that our children can like them;

3, study hard, master ABA teaching methods, understand the concept of fortifier, and know how to assist children; According to the homework assigned by the therapist, help children learn and summarize them into life;

4. Perseverance, the education of autistic children is a long-term process, and proper persistence will bring some progress. Keep an optimistic attitude and live an active and healthy life.

Autism, also known as "autism", is a developmental disorder caused by nervous system disorder, and sick children will have symptoms such as social disorder and communication disorder. What problems should parents pay attention to if they have been diagnosed with autism?

1, communicate with children more, autistic children will have communication barriers, and when they encounter unsatisfactory or depressed things, they will mostly express themselves by crying or self-mutilation. Parents can actively communicate with their children, exercise their language skills and find out the reasons for crying;

2, play games with children, autism will be accompanied by rigid behavior, you can help children find what they are interested in through various games and improve rigid behavior;

4. Autistic children are used to fixing things and are very sensitive to changes, so it is best not to change the environment around them easily.

Establish the concept of taking parents as the core. Parents are the best therapists for children. They can determine the treatment and teaching plan for their children through the regular evaluation of medical institutions, give family guidance, go home for training, and go back to the hospital for evaluation regularly.

I hope my answer can help you.

I hope my answer can give you some useful help.

After the child is diagnosed with autism, it will bring a lot of trouble to his family.

It's that children are immersed in their own inner world, and when creating things they like, they are different from us ordinary people in the way of perceiving things.

Autism can be roughly divided into two categories, one is true autism, and the other is false autism caused by acquired environment.

Pseudo-autistic children have no congenital defects of autism, but some unexpected events after birth, such as social difficulties and limited language skills, even affect children's communication with teachers and classmates at school, leading to social marginalization step by step.

Psychoanalysis is more suitable for this kind of children, but game therapy is more used in technical means.

The second category is true autism. Here, children must have some innate genes or reasons for the physiological development of the brain. What they need more is training methods:

First, build trust. This new phenomenon is partly caused by the psychological counselor touching the child's body instead of words, and partly caused by the child's attention superimposed on my overall level, that is, the child can notice you and thus produce the phenomenon of attention following.

Secondly, my teacher Zhao Xiaoming has formed a set of effective methods in the process of training autistic children. This method is called mirror training by Xiao Ming.

The meaning of mirror image is simply to imitate and reflect everything of the other party like a mirror, including the mirror image of body, language, expression, behavior and attention.

Mirror training doesn't have to be done by a counselor, but parents can do it. Parents need to have relevant theoretical basis, and it is best to have some mirror training, so that they can better grasp the operating points of each mirror. The most important thing of this method is the accuracy of operation. If the operation is not accurate enough, the child will not pay attention to it.

I am engaged in children's education and have come into contact with some autistic children. I hope that the content shared can help parents with autism.

Autistic children generally have brain function defects, which are easily disturbed by emotions and physiology, manifested as interpersonal communication and language barriers, accompanied by stereotyped behavior.

Something particularly fascinating.

Contact with the children of the stars, and you will find that his communication is limited to talking about things he is interested in. For example, the children I contact often talk to me about patch panels. What electrical appliance is plugged into my patch panel? Talk to him about other topics, and he answers, or even doesn't answer, and returns to the topic he is addicted to.

This is a sign of communication disorder, but in fact, the children of the stars just want to communicate with the outside world too much. Dialogue is too difficult for him, he can't perceive the clues in the dialogue, and unpredictable dialogue makes him full of anxiety. He tried to control and dominate the conversation and reduce his anxiety.

Although he doesn't care about our feelings and interests at all, we still have to talk about his favorite topics and build trust. Trust guides different topics and teaches them how to deal with them in various situations.

Talking to yourself, skipping and shaking hands.

Many children with stars will talk to themselves, jump and shake hands. Imagine if we sometimes yell and talk to ourselves. Often talk to yourself when you are nervous at home, or make a hullabaloo about when you are stressed to relieve stress.

Children with stars will have sensory abnormalities, and these behaviors are his way of expressing himself. When you are depressed, you will rotate, jump and swing your body to provide vigilance; When you feel overexcited, you can stride around, snap your fingers and stare at the rotating fan to calm yourself down.

Parents should take their children to run and jump to improve their perception.

Happy angel kept laughing.

Children with stars have tactile abnormalities. For example, some children feel that the threshold is relatively low and often laugh. This phenomenon often happens to us, for example, many people listen to the same joke, some laugh their heads off, and some feel nothing.

When children laugh at home, Doby tells them to make them laugh happily. After a few times, you will find that the sensory threshold has risen. Parents should give their children tactile training and massage the whole body with their hands every day. The human embryo consists of three special layers of cells. The first layer (mesoderm) forms muscles and bones. The second layer (endoderm) forms human internal organs, such as gastrointestinal lungs; The third layer (ectoderm) forms the human nervous system and skin. Skin and brain are differentiated from a unified tissue, and skin is an extension of the human brain. Rich tactile stimulation promotes the development of the cranial nerve system.

Ask the same question over and over again

When the children of the stars ask the same question repeatedly, it may be emotional disorder, and it is necessary to understand that the next thing is foreseeable. When I was talking to my mother, the children kept asking when to take me out. Asking questions is a manifestation of children's anxiety and a coping strategy. I heard him ask several times, and immediately told the mother that you should let him talk for another two minutes and then go to him. At this time, the child immediately took out the alarm clock and counted 120.

When a child repeatedly asks a question, it is obvious that a few minutes of such an answer will not reduce the child's anxiety. Parents should give their children specific visual answers. For example, children repeatedly ask if they want to play ball this afternoon. What parents should do is to record this time on the itinerary with her, so that he can feel that his problems are valued and controllable. I also taught him a strategy of using records to plan important things.

Keep repeating what I said.

Star children have language dysfunction, and echo language tries to communicate and help others through constant mechanical repetition. With the passage of time, the creative language system has developed and the echo speech has gradually decreased. They tend to express and understand language through vision, not through listening and speaking. When parents say "no", the effect is very poor. It is very effective to draw the forbidden behavior as a visual card for children. That's the reason.

Parents and children should try to communicate in simple sentences, preferably with gestures and visual cards. Chat with children at ordinary times, teach them to type and let them express their ideas in words.

Emotional out of control, love to hit people.

I met a child. When writing numbers, I have to add up all the numbers. If I stop it, I will resist and even hit people. In his world, there are rules that make him comfortable. Once the rules are broken, he will become very manic. Derivative violence is the expression of emotional out of control and a way of asking for help in extreme confusion.

We need to respect the rigid behavior of children. Some people bite their fingers and shake their legs when they are nervous. Why are you so hard on the children of stars? If we want to change his behavior, we should divert it, not stop it. For example, children like to shake the door handle, and parents can put their hands on the handle, so that children can turn their attention to their parents.

Children in the stars will cry and even hurt when they cut their nails. The act of cutting nails is a traumatic event for children. There may be bleeding when cutting nails, and behavior causes memory. When parents find that their children have emotional outbursts, they should first identify the trauma points and gradually add good experiences to the trauma points, so that the good experiences can cover the trauma experiences.

Children from the stars need more love, understanding and tolerance when they come into this world. Parents should explore the reasons behind any behavior of their children. They have lower anxiety threshold and fewer coping strategies. Abnormal sensory information processing makes it more sensitive or dull to sound, light, touch and other senses, so it is more difficult to learn environmental information. Unable to understand other people's emotions and views on their strange behavior, lack of emotional perception. Parents should bring more sensory stimulation to their children, and their children will get better and better.

Hello, I'm like a fish, a psychological counselor. I'm glad to accept your invitation and answer your questions. Your problem is that the child has autism. What should parents pay attention to? How to help him?

In recent ten years, the incidence of children's autism is on the rise. As a mental illness, it deserves our great attention. The cause of autism is complex, and it is especially difficult to treat autistic children. Parents of autistic children, rehabilitation therapists or professional psychological counselors and autistic children need to work together, but it is already a great cooperation to find the root of the problem in children.

Parents need to do the following:

1, mothers should pay attention to health care during pregnancy. Mother's infection with the virus during pregnancy will lead to abnormal development of fetal brain and lead to autism in children, so pregnant women should be careful not to be infected with the virus during pregnancy, especially in the early stage. Infants should also pay attention to avoid febrile convulsions in the early stage, and repeated febrile convulsions can also cause brain damage.

2. Parents should go to the hospital as soon as possible for children suspected of having autism tendency, and be diagnosed by doctors specializing in children's neuropsychiatry, psychology and health care. Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to success or failure of treatment. Because the age, clinical manifestations and dysfunction of autistic children are different, the treatment needs vary from person to person. Before treatment, the child's basic psychological functions, such as language, social communication, behavior and living ability, should be evaluated.

3. Promote breastfeeding. Because breast milk is rich in minerals, it is beneficial to children's intellectual development. Older children should eat less sugar, snacks, chocolate, milk, tomatoes and foods containing lactose to prevent children from lactose intolerance or food intolerance.

4. Establish attachment and strong emotional connection between parents and children. Parents should let their children get in touch with the external environment and participate in various exercises, so that their children can play, communicate and study with their peers, which will promote the healthy and healthy development of their personality and social adaptability. Remember never to let your child live a closed life for a long time, so as not to form a withdrawn character and harm your child for life. If normal children have a situation similar to childhood autism, please seek medical advice in time and give corresponding persuasion and sensitivity training.

5. There are effective methods to intervene autistic children. Intervention measures include behavioral therapy, psychological analysis, education and training, such as language training, social training, sensory training, self-care training, group games and so on. There are also drugs to cooperate with the treatment, but not all of them need to take medicine, and there is no specific drug for treating autism at present.

6. The rehabilitation process is a painful and torturous experience for both children and adults. Please don't lose heart. Stick to it and there will be surprises. In the process of rehabilitation, parents should cooperate closely with rehabilitation therapists or psychological counselors, communicate more, teach more, practice more and persist for a long time. Children will gradually make significant progress in this process, and their illness can be actively and effectively controlled.

Autism, also known as "autism", is a representative type of generalized developmental disorder. Its main characteristics are different degrees of social communication barriers, language barriers, narrow interests and rigid behavior patterns. Most children will have obvious symptoms before they are 3 years old. Many people have a wrong understanding of autism, thinking that autism and depression are the same meaning, that is, children are reluctant to communicate with others only if they have psychological problems. For those who hold this understanding, I must first correct it. That was not the case. What you understand may be pseudoautism, which is different from autism. Autism is an autism spectrum disorder.

According to DSM-5, the fifth edition of American Diagnostic and Statistical Criteria for Mental Disorders, high-functioning children were separated at an early stage. Now the original classification method has been cancelled and divided into three different grades:

The first level is the need for help;

The second level is the need for high-intensity help;

The third level needs very high-intensity help.

High-functioning children and some children with developmental retardation are autistic children with medium or high IQ. Most of them have good language ability and learning ability, and most of them have mild symptoms, but they still have difficulties in language understanding, language expression and interpersonal skills.

The main symptoms are that I often feel particularly lonely, don't like to associate with people, have no eye contact, and lack emotional contact. For example, newborns are not close to their mothers when they are picked up, and they are held by relatives or other people around 7 8 months, with no special attachment. I am indifferent to my mother's departure and return, and I am not afraid of my relatives and strangers. Compared with low-functioning children, they can better adapt to the external environment and have lower language expression and communication skills. Compared with children of the same age, motor development is also low and clumsy.

When you find that your child has autism, you should be prepared: this is a long-term intervention process; Mentally, children are not required to return to normal, but they should also try to take care of themselves like normal people; So what problems should parents pay attention to when taking care of autistic children?

1, patience, parents should be patient enough to spend some time interacting with their children every day, and it is best to ask other adults in the family to have the same purpose; Plan training tasks for children every day;

2, professional, many parents are confused about the treatment of autistic children at first, and they will think, will they grow up? Thereby delaying a lot of time and saving money; But children lack professional and effective intervention, which makes the situation worse and worse? When children grow up, it is difficult to keep up with the intensity of intervention, and it is difficult for children to make progress. Parents are advised to look at more progress cases, refer to some effective methods of others, and cooperate with teachers to do family intervention at home!

3, self-confidence, many times, some parents always say that they can't see obvious progress and have no confidence to continue. In fact, this is a visual error. If you look at your child every day, your child may make a little progress, so you can't see it, so the best way is to record it in the form and set the training goal;

I hope the above content can help you!

I have come into contact with five autistic children and share some experiences with you:

When communicating with children, be sure to look with four eyes. Autistic children drift around when communicating with others. Therefore, every time parents talk to their children, they must hold them and let them look into your eyes, so that they can listen and think very attentively. Is effective communication.

Autistic children have fixed communication time every day to enhance parent-child relationship, some are congenital reasons, and some are because there is too little communication between adults and children when children are 0-3 years old, resulting in children living in their own space all the time. I have met three such children. Another is because the old people at home speak dialects, and the children don't understand them, so they simply don't speak.

Therefore, parents must talk to their children more. From now on, don't leave your children on TV, tablet or mobile phone for electronic products.

Finding children's specialties and strengthening the cultivation of general autistic children will have obvious advantages in a certain aspect. Such as mathematics, music, painting, etc. Parents should be good at discovering, consciously strengthen the cultivation in this respect and enhance their children's self-confidence.

Guide children to play games with their peers. I usually take my children to the community to play with my peers. Parents should participate in games with their children and guide them to communicate with their peers. Wait for the child to make friends, and then slowly quit.

In short, parents of autistic children must have three times more patience and companionship than ordinary children, and communicate effectively with their children and never give up. If the situation is serious, you still have to go to a special institution for training.
