What are the manifestations of autistic children?

The early manifestation of autism in children is 1. 2. Language barriers; 3. Narrow interests; 4. Mental retardation and so on.

Five Symptoms of Autism in Children

Social barriers: Most autistic children lack interest in others in infancy, and do not put their bodies close to their mothers when breastfeeding.

Language communication disorder: Lonely children often cry and scream to express their discomfort, lack corresponding facial expressions, slow or underdeveloped language development, and often do not take the initiative to talk to others.

Interest disorder: Autistic children are not interested in toys and games that ordinary children like, but are particularly interested in things that are not usually used as toys, such as round and rotatable things such as wheels and bottle caps.

Cognitive and intellectual disabilities: The intelligence of autistic children is very low in many places, and only 25% can remain normal.

Abnormal emotional response: the emotional response is dull and there are emotional expressions that are not commensurate with the situation. They often cry or laugh for no reason.

Pathological manifestations of childhood autism

Lonely and withdrawn, they will not establish normal contact with people.

Is the lack of communication with people. The tendency of communication, some children show this characteristic from infancy, such as not being close to their parents since childhood and not liking being held by others. When others want to pick him up, they don't reach out and look forward to picking him up. They don't take the initiative to find children to play with. When others find him to play, they show avoidance and don't respond when they call. 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.

Speech disorder is 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.

Narrow interests, rigid and repetitive behavior

Narrow interests, rigid and repetitive behavior, and strong demand for the environment to remain unchanged. Children with autism often focus on one or more games or activities for a long time, such as being fascinated by rotating the pot cover and monotonous placing of building blocks, keen on watching TV advertisements and weather forecasts, and have no interest in cartoons, children's TV and movies that children usually 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.

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 3-or 4-year-old child especially likes to read. When he saw the words, he took the initiative to ask what to read and only remembered it once. Because of this, he can read children's story books fluently without difficulty, which shows that he has mastered a large number of vocabulary, but when he wants to express himself in words, he has obvious difficulties, which shows that they are damaged in understanding and using language.

Don't play with other children. Children usually don't want to play with other children. They always stay at home and are indifferent to the things around them. No matter what happens, they are immersed in personal Xiaotian all day.

Do not recognize strangers, do not recognize people. Children lack corresponding emotional experience to people, often avoid other people's eyes, lack eye contact, rarely look far away, and often have no expression on their faces.

Can speak or have a language barrier. Children's language development is slow, they are not active and often remain silent. Some children don't express their needs in words, but like to hold hands with others to get what they want. Some children don't understand other people's languages and can't communicate with others.

Poor adaptability. Some children often urge to keep the status quo and refuse to change their environment, living habits and behaviors. If you want to eat the same food, wear the same clothes and play the same game over and over again. When eating or playing games, the position of tableware or toys is fixed. If there is any change, there will be obvious anxiety or crying.

Special accessories. Children are suddenly indifferent to people, but show special interest in some inanimate objects or small animals (such as cups and chickens). ) and become attached. If you take away their attachment, you will be anxious or cry endlessly.

In addition, some children have different degrees of mental retardation, and some have fear, hyperactivity or inactivity, crying, mood swings, sleep disorders and other phenomena.

Manifestations of autism in children

Social obstacle

1. No social interaction. Ordinary children like to look at people, while autistic children disdain familiar and unfamiliar things. That is to look at people and things. This kind of eye contact is rigid and mechanical. They can't express their feelings with eyes or expressions, and they can't understand the psychology and meaning of others. They just live by their own standards and seem to be isolated from the world around them. Therefore, as adults, it can be said that the worldly wisdom between people is incomprehensible.

2. No partnership can be established. One feature is that you can't play, you don't know the function of toys, you just play with one feature of objects repeatedly, such as constantly touching the surface of the ball. Because I can't play, I can't establish a good partnership with other children.

3. Special accessories. Generally, children begin to establish attachment with their parents after half a year of birth. Children cry when their mothers or caregivers leave. Autistic children don't seem to react strongly and usually don't stick to their parents. Some autistic children seem to find it difficult to leave their parents, especially their mothers, and sometimes they like to be held by their families. However, this relationship is essentially different from the attachment of normal children, and it is just a rigid behavior. Although they will not form a normal attachment relationship with their parents, they can form a special relationship with things. It is often seen that an autistic child is playing with an object that others don't want to play with for a long time, such as a bottle cap.

I can't read. When children reach the age of 23, they will not only express their emotions, but also understand the feelings of adults. But autistic children lack this ability.

Language communication disorder

1. Language retardation. Speak late and be indifferent to other people's language. Literature shows that 25%~50% of autistic children will have aphasia or can only speak very limited words. Generally speaking, children with autism may be aphasia for life if they don't speak at the age of 3. Some autistic children have learned some words before one and a half years old, but then they will gradually degenerate until they become aphasia.

2. Poor language application ability. Although ordinary children have a small vocabulary, they can express their wishes and demands with a limited vocabulary. But autistic children can't do this, or even realize it, or even talk to others. Some autistic children can talk to others, but they will find that they always ask more questions and answer less, and there is little useful information in the answers. Some children will talk endlessly about topics they are interested in. For example, let him sing and sing "Little Girl Picking Mushrooms" repeatedly.

3. The language is rigid and repetitive. This is a very distinctive feature of autistic children in language. For example, ask an autistic child, "What's your name, little friend?" He will also ask, "What's your name, little friend?" In addition, the tone, stress, rhythm and speed of language are also different. The tone is flat and single, which is suspected of hearing problems.

Abnormal interests and behavior

1. Strange interest. Autistic children also have their own interests, but these hobbies are very different from ordinary people. For example, some children can have many phone numbers, and some children like to do boring things. Knock down the building blocks and continue to build. Generally, children's game activities have developed from The Imitation Game to imaginary games, but for autistic children, imitating the actions of adults can't connect the actions with the meanings expressed by the actions, such as waving goodbye, and he just repeats this action repeatedly. Autistic children can't play imaginary games because of their poor imagination. For example, in house games, they pretend to eat with bottle caps as tableware.

2. Repeated body movements. Some children will keep turning their palms and shaking their heads. Some people think that this is a seizure, but more often, these actions are just the performance of sensory stimulation or sensory adjustment in autistic children.
