There is such a group of children, although they are not deaf, but they are deaf to the outside world; Although he is not dumb, he is reluctant to speak; They seem to have an unusual way of thinking, as if they are from a distant planet, one person and one world, and they are autistic children.
Children are the main group for the occurrence of autismIt is shown that the prevalence of autism in children in China is about 029%, and the global prevalence of childhood autism is about 076%, and there are more than 200,000 children with autism in China.
What are the characteristics of autism? How do I know if my child is autistic? What should I do if my child is diagnosed with autism? Let's find out
Autism
Autism (also known as autism) isA biologically underpinned neurodevelopmental disorder due to one or more causesAutism is the most common manifestation of social communication disorders, as well as narrow interests and stereotyped and repetitive behaviors.
Autistic children are not able to learn like other normal children, and they have huge deficits and challenges in socialization, communication, and behavior. It usually develops within 30 months, but some children develop it after 3 years of age.
The child is very introverted, is it autistic?
No. The core symptoms of autism are:Difficulties in social communication, narrow interests, repetitive stereotyped behaviors
It is necessary to understand the child's developmental history, social performance in daily life, etc., and also to observe their behavioral performance, and use standardized diagnostic tools to assess developmental and social skills, and finally comprehensively, in order to determine whether the child is autistic.
There are 5 manifestations of children that need to be alert to autism
The Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics Group of the Pediatric Branch of the Chinese Medical Association proposed"Early identificationMethods: If your child has any of the following signs or symptoms, he or she needs to seek medical attention for further screening and diagnosis so that autism can be detected as soon as possible
Don't see See less
Babies over 6 months old have little or no eye on their mother's face, especially if they don't look at people's eyes.
should not be less
These include name-calling responses and shared attention, young children are deaf to parental calls, and insensitivity to name-calling responses are usually one of the early detection of autism.
Don't refer to less fingers
Lack of proper body movements, unable to make requests for things of interest. Children with autism may show a decrease in the frequency of use of body movements as early as 12 months of age, such as not nodding their heads to indicate need, shaking their heads to indicate no, pointing purposefully, and gesturing.
Silent Silent Silent Language
Most children with autism have language delays, and parents are often most concerned about children's language problems.
Inappropriate
Children with autism may have inappropriate use of objects from the age of 12 months, including rotation, arrangement, and continuous visual exploration of objects, such as staring at electric fans and rotating wheels for long periods of time.
Microbiota transplantation improves autism in children
There is no universal drug for autism in the medical field, but the earlier it is detected and the sooner it is diagnosed, the more likely it is that the child will be able to lead a normal life in the future.
Intestinal bacteria transplantation (FMT) is a frontier that has attracted much attention in recent years**, and studies have foundThrough microbiota transplantation, the symptoms of autistic children can be significantly improved, and the effect is long-lasting
Studies have found that microbiota transplantation can effectively balance the intestinal flora and repair the damaged internal environment, thereby improving various behavioral problems caused by gastrointestinal and neurodevelopmental disorders in patients with autism. Studies on the effect of microbiota transplantation on the improvement of autism have also been confirmed.
The professor team of the Department of Gastroenterology of West China Hospital of Sichuan University and the professor team of the Mental Health Center carried out endoscopic microbiota transplantation for a child with autism** After that, the child improved in intestinal symptoms, language expression, social interaction, and emotional regulation。This is also the first successful microbiota transplantation for children with autism in Southwest China.
Previously, researchers from the University of Arizona published a study in Microbiome showing that intestinal microbiota transplantation can improve autism and its accompanying symptoms. The study included 18 children with autism with intestinal symptoms, and 18 weeks after receiving an intestinal microbiota transplant**, significant improvement in autism symptoms and gut microbiota was observed.
Within two years of intestinal microbiota transplantation, most patients maintained improvement in gastrointestinal symptomsAutism symptoms are also improving steadily and consistently
