So that parents can quickly realize their child had autism disorder parents should understand exactly what the child development phases should, when there is delayed development phase and is not passed by the child, parents can immediately provide the appropriate intervention or knowledge gained immediately identify these disorders to discipline her like a professional in the field of Special Needs Education / Special Educators, Psychology, and doctors. So that parents can provide early treatment to children.
Be explained below there are several symptoms that occur in children with autism disorder following:
- Experience difficulties in communication, for example: children are not able to speak and understand the language.
- Difficulty in relating to other people or objects around him/ her as well as linking the events.
- Playing with toys or other objects are not reasonable for example: playing car-toy, children generally play with a toy car-pushing and trying to find a way to track his car, children with autism disorders tend to turn around his car and turns the wheel, they can focus for a long time just to pay attention to the car's wheels are spinning.
- It is difficult to accept the changes in routine and environment are recognized, in other words, children with autism disorders tend to be monotonous, less able to accept the change if the change activities, they can only adapt to routine repeated every day.
- Repeated body movements or the presence of certain patterns of behavior.
People with autism and its spectrum is very diverse both in capabilities, level of intelligence, and even behavior. Some are not "speak" the language while some other confined so often found repeating words or phrases (echolalia). Those who have high language skills generally use themes that are limited and difficult to understand abstract concepts. Thus, there is always the unique individuality of individuals disabling.
The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in Aleycia Moore (2010: 45) states that in the United States mentions 5 types of behavior that should be watched and the need for further evaluation:
- Children do not mutter until the age of 12 months
- Children do not demonstrate the ability gestural (pointing, bye, grasping) until the age of 12 months
- Children do not say a word until the age of 16 months
- Children are not able to use 2 sentences spontaneously at the age of 24 months
- Children lose the ability to speak and social interaction at a certain age
It's a little explanation about the signs of autism, but not necessarily be said of autistic children only see that I wrote the above conditions, the better it checked out to several disciplines. Hopefully useful, sorry for the mistake in the rules of writing, I am trying to learn.
