Is a 3 and a half year old boy autistic if he doesn t play with children?

Not necessarily, autism is a representative disorder of pervasive developmental disorder. It is a brain disorder in which different areas of the brain struggle to work together. Most people have difficulty communicating with others.

Early diagnosis and** can help improve the condition of more and more patients. In children with autism, the level of intelligence is very inconsistent, with a few patients in the normal range and the majority of patients showing varying degrees of intellectual disability. As for whether it is autism, you have to go to the hospital for a check-up, and you should usually spend more time with your children.

There are many reasons why children speak late, such as hearing loss, mental retardation, autism disorder, etc., and some developmental abnormalities are not easy to detect, in fact, they have been ignored, but they may have an impact on language development.

Therefore, for children with language delay, it is important to find the cause first, and for pathological causes, it is necessary to carry out ** or language training in time so as not to delay the child's growth.

Be shy! Some children are slow to mature, let him get used to it and play together!

The scientific name of childhood autism is childhood autism, so autism is its written language, and now this type of disease is also collectively referred to as autism spectrum disorder, autism is a class of neurodevelopmental disorders also called psychological development disorders, also known as pervasive developmental disorders of the brain.

Symptoms of Autism:

1. Disorders of social communication, manifested by at least two of the following:

There are significant deficits in a variety of nonverbal communication behaviors, such as eye contact, facial expressions, body posture, and social posture.

Partnerships that are appropriate to their age and level of development cannot be established.

Lack of spontaneous seeking to share happiness, interests, and accomplishments with others (e.g., not showing, bringing, or pointing to objects of interest to others).

Lack of interactive interpersonal or emotional communication (e.g., does not actively participate in play activities, prefers to play alone, and treats toys as "tools".)

2. Speech dysfunction, manifested by at least a few of the following:

Delayed or complete absence of verbal language development and no attempt to replace it with other forms of communication such as body posture and sign language.

In patients with adequate language skills, there is a lack of ability to initiate or sustain a conversation with others.

Stereotyped and repetitive or quirky language.

3. Repetitive stereotyped behavior, manifested in at least one of the following:

Surrounded by one or more narrow and stereotyped interests. Its intensity or concentration of attention is different from that of ordinary people.

Stereotyped repetitive motor skill movements (e.g., hand movements, finger flutters, or complex full-body movements).

1. Social communication disorder type This is the biggest problem faced by children with autism. They are indifferent to the things around them, have difficulty understanding the emotions and feelings of others, and are unable to express their own emotions and feelings properly. They seem to think that whatever exists in their own minds also exists in the minds of others, and that there is no difference between them.

That is, they usually think that their feelings are the feelings of others, but this does not mean that they have no 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 type: Most children speak very little, and even in severe cases, they do not speak for life. Even if some children can speak, they prefer to use gestures instead of language, or they only mechanically imitate the language of others. 4. Narrow interests Children with autism have rigid behaviors, strict requirements for the environment, and do not allow the slightest change.

Children usually focus on one or more games for a long time, often repeat fixed and stereotyped movements, and even self-injure.
