They also have the same name-autistic children.
The child is 3 years old, but he has never called "mom".
"I always thought it was a child's slow development and never thought it was autism."
Xiao 'an's mother still remembers the joy of learning to walk when her child was 1 year old in March, but since then, Xiao 'an (pseudonym) seems to have stopped growing taller except for her height. So far, I can't take the initiative to call people, I don't want to play with my peers, and I don't listen to my parents' instructions.
Parents take their children to see a doctor immediately after they find that their children are developing abnormally. After trying to see a doctor in several hospitals and rehabilitation institutions, Xiao 'an's mother finally chose to take Xiao 'an to the Children's Rehabilitation Department of Hunan Women and Children's Hospital for long-term treatment under the introduction of friends.
After a systematic diagnosis by Yang Jie, director of children's rehabilitation department, it was found that Xiao An's social skills and language skills were poor, his adaptability to the environment was poor, he was prone to crying, he was slow to respond to swearing, and he basically had no eye contact with people. Despite self-stimulation's behavior, he can't speak, and most of them are meaningless single "ah" sounds. His tongue is not flexible enough, he can't lick the left and right corners of his mouth, he can't pout, he can't blow, and his speech will be nasal. At the same time, Xiao An still lacks nonverbal communication behavior, with little body language, little eye contact and short time, dodging eyes, crying to express his emotions and needs, and his language development is backward. Backward cognitive understanding, no concept of common basic things, no understanding of common daily necessities such as cups, hats and clothes, and no understanding of common instructions such as hugging, raising hands and clapping. Poor sitting ability, often leaving the seat to walk around.
Here, you can see hope every day
In view of Xiao 'an's situation, the medical, nursing and medical organizations of children's rehabilitation department held a rehabilitation evaluation meeting, established a clear rehabilitation goal, and formulated a systematic treatment plan for Xiao 'an from the aspects of speech training, cognitive dysfunction training, sensory integration therapy and transcranial magnetic therapy.
At the beginning of rehabilitation treatment, Xiao An had poor adaptability at first, and was prone to crying in class. The therapist has created a safe environment for Xiao An, and Xiao An is gradually more cooperative than before, and can sit at the desk intermittently to cooperate with the therapist to complete personal tasks. At the same time, Director Yang Jie adheres to the treatment concept of combining medical treatment with education, gives appropriate family guidance after class, and tracks Xiao An's completion of homework tasks at home.
With the recovery day by day, under the guidance of professional therapists, Xiao An gradually adapted to the classroom environment. He can keep a class for 30 minutes to finish his homework with the teacher, swear at close range and start to react. He can imitate simple and rude movements, understand simple instructions such as sitting, clapping and raising hands and apply them to life.
Xiao An has finished 200 classes since he was admitted to the hospital. In terms of language expression, he has been able to simply imitate more than 50 basic nouns. With the help of teachers and parents, he can say short sentences, and with the help of gestures, he can actively say the names of familiar people and say hello.
"Here, I can see hope every day. Now my children can name many things, distinguish five common colors and shapes, understand sizes, have different emotions, are lazy and smart, and are much more lively than before! "
The patience and professionalism of doctors will bring new hope to parents. In the Children's Rehabilitation Department of Hunan Women and Children's Hospital, there are many parents like Xiao 'an's mother. They exchanged rehabilitation experiences and encouraged each other. Some children have been able to return to school after rehabilitation treatment, and parents feel unprecedented joy for the progress of each child. Xiao An's mother often communicates with Director Yang Jie about Xiao An's growth and changes. In social and behavioral aspects, Xiao An basically has no stimulating behavior of his own, and can wait, take turns, queue up and share in the group. When Xiao An first came, he had no eye contact, basically no requirements, poor language understanding and no imitation ability, and his parents once felt desperate. Up to now, I have looked at each other actively, made demands with assistance, and even made demands with words. Understand the common skill instructions in life and apply them to life, and know the common daily objects. At the same time, my children have gradually mastered the skills of imitation, from monosyllabic to overlapping to disyllabic.
In the group class of music therapy, Xiao An also turned a deaf ear, turned a blind eye, was unwilling to attend the group class, was not interested in all kinds of musical instruments, was unwilling to get in touch with his peers, did not obey the order and rules of class, gradually improved his sitting ability, was willing to participate in group activities, obeyed simple instructions, and was able to cooperate with the teacher to play musical instruments. Observe the performance of peers in class and actively participate in games with peers, and you will show a happy smile.
It is the right choice to intervene as soon as possible when abnormalities are found, and systematic rehabilitation treatment is the right choice.
In the process of treatment, parents are also surprised and have more confidence in their children, thus seeing the hope of the future. Director Yang Jie said that children's progress is inseparable from the careful teaching of therapists, their own efforts and their parents. The child's progress is the efforts of many parties, the therapist is the strong backing of the child, and the child's own efforts are the internal motivation of his study.
In the Children's Rehabilitation Department of Hunan Women and Children's Hospital, many parents consult their children's autism through different channels every day. Director Yang Jie said that for autistic children, personalized systematic rehabilitation and family care are the best medicine for children. Parents of autistic children should establish a correct "intervention concept", carry out early rescue intervention and training for their children, and don't miss the golden age of saving their children. It is necessary to establish a scientific educational concept and cultivate children's self-confidence and interest.
Scientific intervention methods can change pathology, and the severity of pathology determines the survival state of prognosis. Make children's life plans according to pathology, and adopt different intervention modes and methods at different stages, so that rehabilitation training can achieve obvious results and children can better return to their families and society.
