Parents often hear the warning that if a child does not receive a particular ** before the age of 5, their developmental opportunities may be lost forever.
This is a very popular argument especially in the field of intervention for children with autism, where it is said that the window of opportunity for intervention for children with autism closes once they are 5 years old, after which it is too late. Such remarks undoubtedly bring great pressure and guilt to parents, making them feel that they have not provided the necessary intensive intervention during the ** period of their children's growth**, thus delaying the child's life, and it seems to have created a tragedy in the child's life.
However, we must point out that there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that the window of opportunity for intervention for children with autism closes at the age of 5.
In fact, some studies have shown that early intervention for children with autism can indeed lead to better outcomes. But that doesn't mean that children are doomed to make significant progress if they don't start intervening early. Many parents observe that their children still show significant development and progress between the ages of 8 and 13 and beyond.
There are indeed some critical periods in the development of human beings, for example, if you are not exposed to a language in your early years, you may face great difficulties in learning it when you grow up. But that doesn't mean that after a certain age, all development opportunities will be lost forever.
Every child is unique, and their development rate and trajectory are different.
Therefore, parents should not blame themselves excessively for those statements that have no scientific basis, nor should they be bound by oversimplified theories. For children with autism and their families, it is important to find the right intervention and support system for the child, rather than getting caught up in the anxiety of age.
The first intervention training for autistic children is a long poem written by love, patience and perseverance. This poem is drawn by the hope, hard work and dedication of parents, and the progress and growth of children is the line of poetry!
Let's focus on children with autism and let them have a healthy and happy environment to grow up in. Feel free to leave a message in the comment area, or send me a private message, so that I will take the time to reply to you one by one.
