How to help parents of children with autism

Parents' mentality should be flat, the child is already an autistic child, if you are giving up on yourself, it is not good for the child's growth, rather than dwelling on how serious autism is, it is better to go to the institution in time to train, if it is a child with moderate or severe autism, then be prepared for lifelong care, just like the blind look forward to regaining sight is an unrealistic luxury. It is important to actively learn the training methods of the children, and exchange their own practical actions for the improvement of the autistic children, and even the most important thing!

First of all, parents need to learn as much as possible about autism. Establish a healthy mindset for autism. Relatively objective understanding and facing this fact.

There used to be some parents. The psyche has been reluctant to accept this fact. Don't communicate with others.

Expecting too much from your own children. This will be detrimental to the child. The development of autistic children's abilities is not a matter of one or two days.

There can be no rush. And. The first ** institution is important.

Generally, parents of autistic children are more panicked. The philosophy and teaching style of the first institution will influence parents for a long time. Came to the first institution.

Parents are like grasping at a life-saving straw. Due to a lack of understanding of autism. So believe what others say.

Sometimes some wrong ideas and ideas will be used by parents as guidelines for a long time to come. Many parents have talked to us about it. It was only after a few years that I realized what I was doing the right thing at that time.

But it was too late. It is recommended that parents learn more about autism. Have a clear understanding of the child.

Talk to parents of children with autism. Have your own understanding and ideas. Don't follow the crowd.

It's been a long time. Some problems can be solved naturally.

Before teaching children with autism to pay attention together, teachers should first mobilize their learning motivation reasonably and fully. For both ordinary people and children with autism, the establishment of learning motivation and the desire to explore external things is very important. In the process of teaching children with autism, they often feel that the child is disobedient, does not cooperate with the teacher, and feels that it is particularly difficult for them to learn a goal, which makes many professional teachers and parents confused.

In other words, it is common for children with autism to lack the motivation to learn new tasks.

In general, children with autism are afraid to meet strangers and do not open their mouths to speak. Therefore, if a teacher wants to help them, he must first gain their trust. Try to make them feel the teacher and realize that the teacher's presence is no threat to them.

You can usually show more concern and encouragement to them, and it is not necessarily very easy to find results quickly, so you have to work hard a few more times. You can usually touch their faces and take the initiative to talk to them. When they feel cared for and warmed by their teachers, they gradually build a sense of trust.

They may not take the initiative to talk to the teacher at this time, but they can lay a good foundation for future training.

In group life, the most difficult thing for children with autism is to build good relationships with their peers. Because they don't want to talk or play with others, children don't want to ignore them. It is very important for any child to have good peer relationships.

The more children ignore them, the more isolated they become, and thus do not come into contact with others, leading to a vicious cycle. Teachers can encourage children with autism to participate in more games, telling them that they are lonely and want to play with everyone, and everyone should pay more attention. It should be noted that children with autism need more time to understand the rules of the game.

So it's best to write the rules of the game to them in advance and explain them clearly one by one so that they can better integrate into the game. We should create more co-op games for them. In this way, they can cooperate with the child to complete the game, which is conducive to strengthening the relationship.

When you do well, you should give timely praise in front of the class to strengthen your experience.

Helping children with autism requires a comprehensive consideration of their individual needs and special circumstances. Here are some common ways to help children with autism:

Early intervention: Early intervention and diagnosis are carried out so that early intervention and ** can be provided. Early intervention can help children develop social, communication, and self-care skills.

Individualized Educational Plan: Develop an individualized educational plan that develops learning goals and methods that are tailored to the child's special needs and abilities. This may include the use of visual aids, structured instruction, and individual tutoring.

Social Skills Training: Provides social skills training to help children learn to interact with others, communicate, and build friendships. This can be implemented through role-playing, social games, and group activities.

Language and communication support: Provide language and communication support, choosing appropriate means of communication according to the child's abilities, such as the use of **, gestures, augmentative communication systems, or spoken language. Specialist support is available from a linguist.

Applied Behavior Analysis: Behavior analysis techniques are applied to help children learn new skills and habits through positive reinforcement and the gradual development of target behaviors.

Family Support: Support and training for family members to help them understand autism and how to build meaningful interactions and supports with children.

Multidisciplinary collaboration: Establish a multidisciplinary teamwork, including professionals such as educators, doctors, psychologists, and teachers, to develop and implement individualized plans for children.

Provide a safe and stable environment: Provide a safe and stable environment for children, with clear rules and structures in place to help them feel safe and supported.

It is important to understand the individual differences and needs of each child with autism, and to develop an appropriate support plan based on their developmental stage and abilities. Work with a professional for professional advice and guidance to ensure the best possible help and support.

When encountering a child who lacks love, it is still based on care, supplemented by counseling.

First of all, let him feel that someone really cares about him, so that he can relax his guard when getting along with others, and gradually understand his inner world.

The second is to give him guidance on ordinary values when he encounters setbacks and problems, so as to ensure that no major psychological problems occur.

It is not recommended that he provide whatever material needs he lacks, so that the dependence formed is only based on material things, and cannot be thorough.

Some people are more withdrawn than being alone when they were growing up (by the way, only children, especially those who do not live in compounds and rural areas, grow up in a relatively closed environment, and are particularly prone to autistic personality and refuse to contact people). Encourage him to go out and make friends with normal playmates, i.e. those who can play but do not have work and interests.

For those who like to stay up late and have an inverted biological clock disorder, you can ask him to do some light physical entertainment activities when he is very tired. When he is exhausted, it is implied that he can only have better physical strength to play or do something else if he has a normal schedule. Slow correction.

After all, exhortation and admonition are something that many people are unwilling to accept, and things will be extremely opposed.

For personal logical thinking habits, this one is more troublesome. Because after gaining trust and mingling, a person will gradually confide in you, how he thinks and how to deal with things, which is difficult to do before getting familiar with and building trust.

So care is still the main way. Once a level of trust has been reached, guidance can be applied from the sharing of one's life experience. Talk to him about things and give some examples of how others are doing, so that he can think about the difference between himself and others, and learn slowly.

When a person's psychological problems are solved, natural physiological and material needs are not so urgently affecting him.

Here's how to care for children with autism:

1. Parents of autistic children should learn to spend more time with them, have a full understanding of the various strange behaviors of autistic children, and not reprimand them verbally, but use more caring language to comfort them.

2. Take your child to a special training institution for training in time, which is very important for the recovery of autism.

3. Most children with autism have language barriers, which is also the reason why it is difficult for them to establish interpersonal relationships. Let children learn and be proficient in daily greetings: someone is early, someone is good, thank you, sorry, you're welcome, it's okay, etc., as the saying goes, it's not strange to have many people.

4. Children with autism have always been self-centered, focusing only on their own preferences and ignoring the feelings of others. It is not easy to teach the splitting relatives to care for others, so first of all, let them understand the so-called joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and let them experience those feelings, which can be expressed in more exaggerated actions.

5. Autism, especially high-functioning children, often have special potential, if their potential can be cultivated and exerted, they can not only be accepted by their classmates, but also may become their skills to make a living in the future. Some of the children who participated in the computer training class have been friends with them since they joined the course.

The significance of caring for children with autism:

Autism in children is a subtype of pervasive developmental disorder that is common in men and begins in infancy. Caring for children means caring about our future and hopes. We cannot give up on caring for children with autism.

They are also the future and hope of our country and society. Every child needs love, and autistic children are the same, they also crave the care and love of their parents.

Skin-to-skin contact with children is the easiest way to bring two people closer together. Therefore, parents can create more games with more skin-to-skin contact with their children, so that after the child plays this game, he will first have more dependence on you and the desire to play with you next time.

For the education of normal children, parents already feel that it is not an easy task. So how do we need to educate autistic children? Autistic children will always be obsessed with their own world, and there will be some violent behavior, and they will show indifference to their eyes and feelings.

Therefore, it is difficult for parents to educate a child with autism. Especially for a child who is not yet able to speak, he may use his hands to point or his eyes to see and express what he wants, but autistic children will not do this. Autism has varying degrees of difficulty in understanding other people's spoken and body language, or expressing meaning through language, gestures, and facial expressions.

Autistic children have very serious language and communication disorders, language development and children's cognitive ability has a very close relationship, generally speaking, children before learning to use language expression, they already have a fairly good comprehension ability, but preschool autistic children, most of them can not understand what their parents say, the behavior they show, unlike normal children have the meaning of learning and imitation, about 50% of autistic children do not have communicative language, if there is, It is usually just a repetitive, meaningless action, like a parrot-like simple parody, which often shows the characteristics of the reversal of pronouns or the non-answering of the question. Even if some people pronounce the words very accurately, most of them have difficulty with articulation, monotonous tones, and lack rhythmic changes in intonation, and in general, the difficulty of their language is not in grammar, but in practical application. Autistic children also have a very special place in terms of play, for example, they do not play with others, they play their own, and they play differently from others, and the focus of care is also different.

For example, eating only fixed food, sitting in a fixed place to eat, sleeping in a fixed place, covering a fixed quilt, watching a fixed program at a fixed time, wearing underwear from a certain brand, sitting in a fixed seat in the car, going out and taking a certain route, and there are also fixed phenomena in language, thinking and communication, such as fixed questions, parents are required to answer in a fixed way. Even when he was taking the exam, he wrote down the fixed thoughts that he had been thinking about in his head on the exam paper, and refused to answer the questions that he would have asked on the exam paper. This special fixed behavior is also a very special phenomenon for autistic people.

There are several factors that contribute to effective early therapy: the first is: the sooner you start, the better.

Because autism ignores people, he has no motivation to learn on his own, so if you teach him early, the shorter the blank time he has. And the sooner you start teaching, the more weird behavior you can avoid. If you don't teach, he will find some weird ways to do it himself, and he will produce some weird movements or behaviors.

The second factor is intensive, which is to teach him well. Teach him intensively every day, without interruption, and he will improve. The third is:

The method of teaching should be consistent and consistent. Those who conform to these three principles will probably get further improved.
