How to identify if you have autism and how to tell if you have autism

Autism, also known as childhood autism, is a type of psychological and developmental disorder that begins before the age of 3 and is characterized by social communication disorders or communication disorders, limitations, stereotypes, and repetitive behaviors, and is the most representative disease of pervasive developmental disorders.

Autism**:

1. Heredity. The role of genetic factors in autism is well understood, but the exact mode of inheritance is still unknown.

2. Perinatal factors.

There were more complications in the perinatal period, such as birth trauma and intrauterine asphyxia, than in the normal control group.

3. Abnormal immune system.

It was found that the number of T lymphocytes decreased, the number of helper T cells and B cells decreased, the inhibition-induced T cell deficiency decreased, and the activity of natural killer cells decreased.

4. Neuroendocrine and neurotransmitters.

Associated with dysfunction of multiple neuroendocrine and neurotransmitters.

Symptoms of Autism:

1. Social communication disorder: This is the biggest problem faced by children with autism. Children are indifferent to their surroundings and have difficulty understanding the emotions and feelings of others and expressing their own emotions and feelings correctly.

It seems to think that whatever exists in their own minds also exists in the minds of others, without any difference from each other. Children often think that their feelings are the feelings of others, but that doesn't mean they don't have feelings.

2. Lack of ability to learn and imitate: Imitation is the most important tool for children's learning, and children learn to speak through imitation, and learn to use silent body language, gestures and expressions to communicate. But children with autism don't know how to imitate.

3. Language disorder: Most children have very little speech, and even in severe cases, they are silent for life. Even if some children can speak, they prefer to use gestures instead of language or simply imitate the language of others.

4. Narrowness of interest: children with autism have rigid behavior, strict requirements for the environment, and do not allow the slightest change. Children tend to focus on one or more games for a longer period of time, often repeating fixed and stereotyped movements, and even self-injurious behaviors.

It is a mental illness, according to the theory of Western medicine, autism is usually unwilling to contact with outsiders, rarely speak, if according to traditional Chinese medicine, if you have autism, you can see from the hand, there will be an arc under the middle finger.

Autism and autism spectrum disorder have three core or basic problems. The following questions can help us observe whether your child is experiencing these three core problems.

Does the child have difficulty in forming a sense of intimacy and friendship with others?

Does the child use gestures and emotional expressions to communicate with others?

When a child begins to use language, can he use them meaningfully? Whether the use of these words or symbols is endowed with emotions or desires.

If the child is not able to form intimate relationships, exchange emotionally meaningful actions and give emotional meaning to the words or symbols used, we need to consider whether he is exhibiting symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. The difference between a child's performance in these three core processes (abilities) and his or her chronological age represents (knowing that in the early stages) the impact of autism disorder on the child.

On how to tell if you have autism? Singbridge recommends going to a professional hospital for diagnosis instead of self-diagnosis, of course, autism has some symptoms, when there are the following symptoms, you should pay attention to it, and find a professional doctor for diagnosis in time.

But when you see these phenomena in your child, you may need to pay attention to them, and these may be manifestations of autism. Of course, it is still subject to the diagnosis of a professional hospital.

The first manifestation is that the child is lonely and isolated, often indulges in himself, and has difficulties in normal communication, which the child may have since infancy, does not get close to his parents, does not like to let others hold him, and is always evasive when others ask him to play, and does not respond to echoes, and this situation may be more obvious as he grows older. Their loneliness also doesn't care about the things around them, as if they have nothing to do with themselves.

The second major manifestation is that the child has a language barrier, can not communicate normally, children with autism generally have less language, serious even can't speak, or can use very few words, sometimes unwilling to say will use gesturing methods instead, and the voice is relatively small, often talk to themselves, to the age of five or six still exist in this situation, parents must not ignore.

The third manifestation is that the child's interests are very narrow, the behavior is rigid, and he is not adapted to the surrounding environment. After suffering from this disease, many children are not interested in anything, and their behavior is very dull, they always have these few actions and always repeat them, and they often rebel against their surroundings, and it is difficult to adapt to the new environment, especially to the new environment.

Compared with children of the same age, children with autism often do not have very normal intellectual development, or low or only normal, and may not know anything when they are three or four years old, but there are also some children who have extraordinary abilities in a certain aspect, such as painting and writing.
