What kind of symptoms do mentally handicapped children show in their early years?

It is often difficult to find out what is wrong with the newborn to about 1 year old, but when the child can walk (thirteen or fourteen months) and can speak a few words (1 and a half years old), he can't walk or speak, and parents doubt the child: Is there something wrong with his intelligence?

Because children with normal intelligence also have some cases of late development, parents often have a fluke mentality, hoping that they are just "late children" and will catch up in the future.

However, after a long time, their learning ability is poor, and obstacles such as abstract ability and difficulty in learning number concepts are manifested.

School age: At this stage, the problem becomes apparent. Although seeing and hearing are normal, the ability to observe is poor, and the subtle characteristics or subtle changes of things are often ignored and heard without hearing. There is generally no major difficulty in language, and he can speak clearly and express his simple thoughts.

Mechanical memory is good, the learning content repeated many times can be remembered for a long time, the thinking ability is poor, the logic is lacking, and the number concept is difficult to learn. Emotions are normal, some are timid, some are reckless, basically no different from normal children, lack willpower, and cannot take the initiative to try to overcome difficulties.

There are simple concepts of right and wrong. After special education, they can learn simple skills, and their knowledge can reach the level of the fifth or sixth grade of primary school, and their numeracy ability can only reach the level of the first and second grades.

Moderate intellectual disability This part is different from the former, most of them have brain damage and other neurological disorders, and they also have problems with brain function.

<> infancy and early childhood: after birth, there are manifestations and slow reactions, and some abilities that children of the same age naturally learn in life (such as eating by themselves, urinating and defecating by themselves, putting on and taking off simple clothes by themselves, etc.), but they need special training to master. These children develop motor (mainly sitting and walking) two or three years later than their peers, and language (mainly speaking) develops later than their peers.

Some children with moderate intellectual disabilities do not even know a word by the age of five or six. The learning ability is also very poor, inattention, mechanical memory ability, but mild intellectual children need more repetition in order to remember the learning content, forgetting quickly, often a few days without reviewing the knowledge will be completely forgotten.

The early symptoms of mentally handicapped children are mainly manifested in the following aspects:

1. Mental retardation, mainly manifested as poor memory, learning ability and hearing, easy to inattentive and not sustained, poor learning and comprehension ability, slow development, no response to external parents 4 months after childbirth, 6 months can not smile, some children can not walk at 18 months, in addition to the slow response to the surrounding things, emotions can not change with the change of external regulation or change is very slow.

2. Poor social adaptability, which is manifested as rigid and inflexible.

3. Abnormal mood, children are always very stubborn, naughty, inferior, and lack of self-confidence.

4. Abnormal behavior, often laughing alone, sticking out the tongue, drooling, blurred eyes, sometimes screaming and crying, etc., the above symptoms are the early manifestations of mentally handicapped children, and with the aggravation of the disease, the symptoms will gradually become serious.

Mentally handicapped children will be abnormal in terms of intelligence, unable to express their thoughts clearly, and even unable to complete some small actions independently, mentally handicapped children mainly refer to low-intelligence children, children's IQ development and children of the same age will be very different, other children may have been able to complete some actions independently, and mentally handicapped children can not understand adults, or even can not complete some daily behaviors.

Mentally handicapped is also known as mental hypoplasia and mental retardation in medicine, and the mental development of mentally handicapped children will be significantly lower than that of normal people during the development period. For one-year-old babies, if there is mental retardation, there will often be obvious manifestations of motor retardation, such as slow walking, often need to be 3 or 4 years old to be able to walk on their own, and there will be a phenomenon of deviation and instability when walking. In addition, babies with congenital mental retardation often have abnormalities in their face and posture, such as expressionlessness, slanted eyes, and too wide eye distance.

In the early years, children will be very silent, and will not be interested in many things, and at the same time will do some things on their own, do not like to communicate with others, and do not like to talk.

In the early stage, the symptoms are that they cannot speak, and their eyes are dull and developmentally retarded.

There will be many symptoms, such as low intelligence, poor concentration, developmental delay, and poor social adaptability.

There will be many obvious symptoms of reverence, such as mental retardation, frequent drooling, low immunity, cognitive impairment, and sluggish expression.

Children who are born stupid are too far away, their eyes are slanted, their noses are sunken, and their language is often dragged out of their mouths and drooling, which is often referred to as an "international face". The head circumference of children with hydrocephalus is particularly large, and the head circumference of children with microcephaly is particularly small. Hypothyroidism is particularly transient, and people with phenylketonuria** are fair-skinned and have light-colored hair.

In life, many mothers wonder if their child is mentally retarded when they see that their child's physical development is significantly backward. For example, some treasure mothers will ask: "My child is five months old, why can't he laugh, does he have intellectual problems?"

Is that really the case? In fact, mentally handicapped children send out five "special signals" in the initial stages. Parents should not be careless.

Facial and postural abnormalities: Some children with congenital mental retardation have facial and postural abnormalities.

<> mental retardation, also known as mental retardation (MRI) and mental retardation, is a common and high incidence in children. The main result is that during the developmental period (the developmental period refers to the age of 18), intelligence is significantly below average. Significantly below-average intelligence is defined as two standard deviations of the qi that are below the mean normal sum (i.e., less than 70) and are accompanied by adaptive behavior deficits.

The so-called lack of adaptive behaviour means that, depending on its age and cultural background, it does not meet the requirements as well as social and personal standards. This can have a big impact on the kids. The main symptom is intellectual compromise, so it is also called "mental retardation".

With the improvement of people's living standards, many families put the second floor of the child on the agenda, which gives rise to many elderly mothers. Everyone wants their children to be smart. However, the mental retardation of the two children is still evident.

Children's mental retardation is equivalent to losing the starting line from childhood, which is very harmful to future learning and life. So, what's wrong with mental retardation in children? How do parents stand out?

Now let's talk about the daily performance of mentally handicapped children!

It will manifest as a loss of vision, as well as a lack of talking, a frequent giggle, difficulty in behavior, a lack of mental normality, and an impulsive mood.

Particularly sluggish, very fond of sleeping, not interested in anything, sometimes very irritable, very slow to respond to anything.

He doesn't like to talk, he laughs silly, and he has hallucinations, low memory, low intelligence, and difficulty concentrating.

Understanding the symptoms of mentally handicapped children helps us to detect and improve the symptoms of mentally handicapped children early. Let's take a look at the introduction below. The symptoms of mentally handicapped children are described as follows:

1. Memory: A large number of distortions and errors will occur in the reproduction, fragmented, and lack of logic, meaning and connection; Slow memorization and poor memory retention; The appearance of memory is poor, undifferentiated, and unstable. 2. Perceptual aspect:

The perceptual speed is slow, the perceptual range is narrow, and the perceptual content is general and imprecise. The overall perception appears to be significantly duller than in a normal child. 3. Verbal aspect:

Speech is slow to appear and develops slowly; small vocabulary and lack of coherence; The meaning of the word is vague, and you can't express your thoughts clearly and clearly, and the word doesn't reach the meaning. 4. Thinking: poor judgment, inability to fully recognize the object, lack of generalization ability; difficulty understanding the exact meaning of concepts, especially abstract concepts; Poor analytical skills and illogical consideration of problems; It is difficult to grasp the concept of numbers, and it is difficult to complete simple calculations.

Attention is not easy to concentrate, attention range is narrow, stability is poor, and it is difficult to distribute attention. Mentally handicapped children suffer brain damage due to genetic and metabolic abnormalities, prenatal or childbirth abnormalities, and postnatal diseases, which cause the children to be inferior to their normal peers in terms of comprehension ability, language expression ability, and self-care ability. According to statistics, the incidence of mentally handicapped children is 3%-5%, and about 60% can be found**.

Mentally handicapped children are often not as hungry as they are hungry for food, do not distinguish between good and bad food, and are prone to gastrointestinal diseases due to eating unclean or spoiled food.

1. Sleep for a long time, sleep peacefully all day, not lively, rarely cry, sometimes accompanied by screaming, crying weakness;

2. The time of laughter is delayed, normal babies will smile at their mothers at 4 to 6 weeks after birth, and mentally handicapped children will not smile at 3 or 4 months;

3. Dull-looking, expressionless, normal children can pay attention to their surroundings when they are one month, and mentally handicapped children are not interested in people and things around them;

4. Playing with fingers late, normal children 3 to 4 months old when lying down to watch hands and play with hands, mentally handicapped children generally appear after 6 months, and the movements are clumsy;

5. Frequent drooling and tongue sticking out, this phenomenon continues to occur after 1 year of age;

Children continue to put small toys or other objects in their mouths at the age of 3, while normal children do not put objects in their mouths after the age of 1;

7. Poor response to speech, not paying attention to adults talking to him, delayed speech development;

8. I don't know how to count, I can't count when I'm 3 or 4 years old or older, and I can't simply add and subtract calculations;

9. The development of gross motor movements such as raising the head, turning over, sitting, standing, and walking is delayed; 10. It has a special appearance, which is different from that of ordinary children. If the above manifestations are found, the child should be sent to the hospital for examination and diagnosis, so as to be detected early**.

And he talks a lot.,Laugh very obscenely.,Sometimes I talk to myself.,I like to play with children.。

The most common manifestation of children after entering school is poor learning ability, which is mainly reflected in poor memory, poor observation, and poor thinking. For example, they are unable to observe things systematically and purposefully, have poor imagination, have low comprehensive analytical skills, especially logical thinking and generalization skills, such as poor understanding of the meaning of metaphors, parables, and proverbs; The formed concepts are unstable and incomplete, and although some have certain language expression skills, they are still poor in systematic language generalization ability, and their vocabulary is poor and incoherent, and some are slurred or stuttering. In addition, the calculation ability is also weak, and the concept of numbers is lacking, such as counting with real objects, although some can do simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but it is still very difficult to do the application of arithmetic problems.

Another manifestation is a peculiar personality. Some mentally handicapped children are particularly excited and active, have difficulty concentrating, love to make small movements in class, often interrupt the teacher's lecture at will, make trouble or shout loudly after class, and some even destroy public property. Some children are very honest, slow-moving, quiet, inactive, lazy all day, often listless, and do not respond at all or slow to respond to teachers' lectures.

In terms of physical aspects: in addition to some physical characteristics or developmental abnormalities, its main manifestations are poor coordination of movements, inability to walk in a straight line, and difficulty in learning a certain movement in physical education class. When doing fine manual operations in a manual class, the movements are often clumsy and uncoordinated.
