Unusual child behavior or childhood autism

Autism is defined in a sensory disorder of the child's development. This is a disease at the genetic level, in which dozens of sections of the genetic code are involved. The manifestation of autism is due to the awakening of dormant genes that wake up for various reasons. These include: the age of parents, various stresses, as well as environmental factors. Unfortunately, scientists have not yet agreed on a single opinion, as well as have not found a cure for autism. The only relief for children with such a diagnosis is long-term specialized classes for many years. What parents need to pay attention to and how you can recognize this disease in a child.

Unusual child behavior or childhood autism

There are the following points,
Needing attention:

  1. A situation when a child does not react to facial gestures of adults and children. He does not want to flirt with them, smile, or play games like "peek-a-boo", "ladushki". You should also pay attention to the fact that the baby does not react with his eyes.
  2. Когда ребёнок достигает двухлетнего возраста, у него отсутствует разговорная речь, и он всё показывает с помощью маминой руки, а также непредсказуемые и необъяснимые истерики – признаки, на которые следует обратить особое внимание.
  3. Lack of sociability and desire to make contact with others. The cub does not respond to the name and does not want to play on its own or with others. It is important to pay attention to the child's favorite games. If his main games are, for example, lining up objects in rows, by color or building towers from dishes.
  4. Increased anxiety in the baby, he is always attached to the same object or route, loves only the same food. And if replacing all this with something else leads to tantrums, then parents should think about it.
  5. Constant rocking in one place, incomprehensible movements of fingers and hands.

All these points do not indicate a definitive diagnosis of this disease, but should force parents to take it seriously in order to conduct a thorough observation. The best solution would be to consult a doctor - a speech therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist. And the sooner you do it, the better it will be for you and your child.

World statistics show the following: if you start training with a child who has such a diagnosis before the age of three, then there is a great chance of recovery, which is 60 percent; from 4-5 years old - only 30 percent; Six-year-old children have almost no chance of recovery. They become disabled.

A very big problem of our society is that if a child has not begun to speak from the age of 2, then it is not yet time. And many people think so. At the age of 2, the child should already speak in phrases and this is the norm.
