Identification of autism and similar diseases

Autism in addition and autism are diseases of the PPD, mentally handicapped, hearing impairment, language developmental disorder, schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity syndrome, have some characteristics similar to autism, and autism have a fundamental difference, in attention differential diagnosis.

1. children with schizophrenia

Incidence of schizophrenia in children of men and women, generally begin during the onset late in early childhood development is usually normal, after onset showed abnormal perception (auditory hallucinations, and op) and confusion of thought (delusions and hallucinations) to Lenovo disorders, emotional disorders of thinking as the main features, performance and activity of the appropriate age there is a clear exception and uncoordinated. General non-intellectual, psychological and social factors for continuation of the course and prognosis of this disease has a major impact. Pathogenesis of autism within 36 months, significantly more boys girls, rare auditory hallucinations, paranoid symptoms. Some cases with mental retardation, psychological and social factors influence on the course of autism are unlikely.

2. language developmental disorder

Children with language developmental disorder on the perceptual response is no exception, with people and get along with way of properly. Can be hard to use gestures of abstract expression content, games or other activities of interest. Autistic children show serious barriers of communication, does not fit with the outside world, do not intervene, will not be able to participate in collective, imaginative games and activities, on an active rule completely ignored and not understanding, on the results of the care, not interested in, free out of the group.

3. the mentally handicapped

The average IQ of IQ is significantly less than their peers in mentally retarded children, its perception, social skills, interests and language development in areas such as proportional to the IQ. Most autistic children have shown cognitive development imbalances (such as the action is good IQ for verbal IQ, memory and imagination, much better than understanding), and the order of exception. On the interpersonal relationships, prefer to deal with others in mentally retarded children. Compared to children with autism, they have more in common with other attention (joint attention), showed more positive mood in the exchanges. From interest, interest in mentally retarded children is much wider than that of autistic children, and they would spend more time in the functional and symbolic of the game on the game. , In relation to language, language acceptability of mentally handicapped children are often better than children with autism. Made the difference between the two images have been painted: \"mentally handicapped children are willing to learn, can\'t learn; autistic children can learn, but are not willing to learn. ”

4. attention deficit hyperactivity syndrome

Autistic children are often attention is not focused, activity, movement monotonous weird symptoms, is sometimes mistaken for ADHD. But by following several more, should not be difficult to identify. First, alone syndrome of incidence far below more dynamic syndrome, and symptoms appeared more early; second, alone syndrome children from small and parents no close performance, lack emotion exchanges, like alone, does not gregarious, on non-biological of things (toys, and books,) has special attachment; language dull, and does not Qing even does not talk, action stereotypes bizarre, on most of stimulation reaction weak or no reaction, often does not followed taught who of indicates to note the note of things, let people think deaf ears, and blind, if can note Shi, note of time also very short. And this is in stark contrast, they often focus on things very interested in some of their own, called excessive attention from the selectivity. These characteristics and ADHD have a larger difference. Third, some with significantly lower intelligence in children with autism,

5. hearing impairment

Hearing impaired children is due to language barriers arising from the auditory system injuries. Although they may sound did not respond to the outside world, but have a desire to communicate with others, active observation, understanding of the outside world, can use tools such as body language communication efforts. Autistic children are generally without hearing loss, organ is functioning correctly, but the central nervous system disorders of the brain makes it lose the ability to sound normal reaction to the outside world, sometimes to the outside world were often very sensitive, and sometimes turn a deaf ear. At the same time not using gestures, eye contact, facial expressions and other non-language communication tool for normal communication with the outside world.

The relationship between food and the new trend of childhood diseases

In life, mother to the baby has don\'t care how much money, as long as his drinking on the line. But often it is because the damage himself loves children?




Yangkuaican and obesity


Yangkuaican because of its good dining environment, manner and enticing flavors, particularly by children of all ages.

These foods are often considered high nutrition by parents, but they eventually metabolites for acidic components of the human body, so you can make the blood acidic, excessive consumption may cause the baby to form acidic Constitution, involved in normal brain development and maintenance of physiological function of the brain such as potassium, calcium, magnesium and zinc element drains off, thus giving rise to disorders of thinking, so that babies suffer from autism.


Smart move:
