What are the typical symptoms of autism?

Autism often occurs before the age of 3, in which about 2/3 children gradually develop symptoms after birth, and about 1/3 children experience normal development and retrogression symptoms for 1 ~ 2 years.

Social barriers

Autistic people have qualitative defects in social interaction. They lack interest in communicating with others to varying degrees, and they also lack normal communication methods and skills.

Typical manifestations are: avoiding eyes, lack of response to address, lack of interest in communicating with others, difficulty in understanding other people's emotions and ideas, ignorance of social rules, inability to adjust one's social behavior according to social scenes and clues, and difficulty in establishing friendship.

The specific performance of children varies with age and severity of illness, among which the communication barrier with peers is the most prominent.

Communication disorder

Autistic children have obstacles in both verbal and nonverbal communication in childhood, among which verbal communication is the most prominent, which is usually the main reason for children to see a doctor.

Non-verbal communication obstacles are mainly manifested in the lack of expressions, movements and postures in communication.

The obstacles in language communication are mainly manifested as impaired language understanding, language development retardation, abnormal language form and content, abnormal intonation and speech speed, and impaired speech application ability.

Narrow interests and rigid and repetitive behavior patterns

Children with autism have narrow interests, rigid and repetitive behaviors, and tend to deal with daily life in a rigid and rigid way.
