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

DSM-IV-TR classifies PDD into five types: loneliness disorder, Retts syndrome, child disintegration disorder, Asperger syndrome and unspecified PDD.

Among them, loneliness disorder and Asperger's syndrome are more common. There are different reports about the prevalence of autism, which is generally considered to be about 2-5/10,000 children, with a male-female ratio of 3-4: 65,438+0, which is 3-4 times that of boys. In September, 2022, National Health Commission issued the Service Specification for Autism Screening and Intervention for Children Aged 0-6 (Trial).

Autism was first described clinically in the 1940s. 1943, American doctor Kanner reported 1 1 patients and named them "early infantile autism".

At that time, he described the characteristics of such patients as follows: a serious lack of emotional contact with others; Weird and repetitive ritual behavior; Silence or obvious language abnormality; High-level visual spatial skills or mechanical memory ability are in contrast with other learning difficulties; Smart, alert and attractive appearance.

At first, such patients reported by Kanner were regarded as a subtype of childhood schizophrenia and were not taken seriously. In the 1940s and 1960s, some people described cases similar to those reported by Kanner and gave them various names. At that time, international and American psychiatric classification and diagnostic standards classified such patients as "children's schizophrenic reaction".

As for the cause of autism, it is generally believed that the improper parenting style of parents led to the occurrence of autism. Kanner described the parents of autistic children as a group of highly educated, enterprising but indifferent people, which seemed to have no objection at that time.
