What are the characteristics of autism?

Generally speaking, the prognosis of children with autism is related to many factors, such as the early signs of the disease, the severity of the disease, the early speech development, cognitive function, whether they are accompanied by other diseases, whether they take drugs, whether they receive training, etc.

Psychological research has found that the essential damage of autism is cognitive impairment, which is manifested in early attention sharing and acting behavior. Sharing attention refers to sharing interest in something with others. Autism faces an object, not sharing interests with others, but getting it. This disorder is one of the early symptoms of autism. The first part mentioned that not being able to play role-playing games is also one of the early manifestations of autism. If early symptoms can be found, early diagnosis and treatment will undoubtedly have a positive and effective impact on the prognosis.

Autistic children do not have the ability to communicate independently and will not change their behavior to adapt to the environment according to environmental requirements. This obstacle becomes more prominent with age. Severe mental retardation, such as screaming and self-injury without speech function, is uncontrollable and difficult to treat, which directly threatens their survival and brings obstacles to education and intervention. As parents, it is easy to identify these abnormalities in children.

After puberty, some children's symptoms can be improved, eccentric and rigid behaviors are reduced, and their ability to communicate with others and adapt to society is more or less improved. But it is still difficult to communicate with others, withdrawn and avoiding others; When social skills are not involved, you can do some simple and mechanical things well.

The harm of autism

1. Language barrier: The language of autistic children and normal people are two incompatible systems in logic, content and form. Most of them are seemingly calm autistic children. They have a lot of introverted activities, but they are not good at expressing themselves in words and often make some special behaviors.

2. Self-injury behavior: Self-injury of autistic children is also a common phenomenon. Children with autism often have self-injury behaviors due to emotional instability, such as biting their wrists, biting the back of their hands, scratching their hair, and hitting their heads against the wall.

3. Abnormal social behavior: The behavior of autistic children is often different from that of normal children, and there is no sense of threat. When crossing the road, they will not watch the traffic passing quickly, and often do inappropriate things in some places.

4. Destructive behavior: People with autism lack imagination and the ability to predict behavior results. They often make some destructive behaviors, which is also a headache.
