Autistic is not a sentence

What do we know about autism? The average person knows practically nothing. But these people live among us. So who is an autistic? It's a child or an adult suffering from a certain ailment - autism. Autism is a chronic inability to form any relationship with the real world. It is interesting, but for some reason the boys have this disease almost four times more often than in the fair sex. According to scientists, this is due to genetics. If a child has already been born in the family, suffering from this disease, then the probability of the birth of a second child with the same illness increases fiftyfold.

Autistic is the same person

We must start with the fact that very little is known about this mysterious disease. Nevertheless, there is something. As for the first, initial signs of the disease, they manifest themselves at an early age (up to three years). The main thing is to notice them in time. In children reaching the age of seven, deviations can already be seen with the naked eye. First of all, they are poorly developed physically. The growth of such children is often below average. An unusual feature of autistics is their inability to work with their hands. They are not right-handed, but they are not left-handed. Such children simply can not coordinate hand movements.

Autistic is a special child

Often, autistic people are completely indifferent to the human voice. They hate to look into the eyes of the interlocutor, and even in early childhood do not ask for their parents. These children are not afraid of new acquaintances and feel confident in unfamiliar surroundings. Scientists believe that autistics simply can not feel the difference between a native person and a stranger, his home and a public institution. Moreover, children suffering from this disease, do not tend to play with their peers, because empty fun is not of interest to them.

Parents and children

An autist is an absolutely "different" child, if you consider him as an interlocutor. Unfortunately, even native mothers of autistic people often can not enjoy full-fledged communication with their offspring, because they simply do not make contact. Especially sad are the cases when the autist does not even recognize the mother in a crowd of people. Often there are noticeable violations in speech, so children cry or cry, calling adults.

What should parents do?

Whatever the child, real parents will still love and care for him. Centers for the treatment of autism in children are now being established in many developed countries. But the autistic can not grow fully in our understanding. If we consider the positive side, it is worth noting that the apparent insanity of autists sometimes borders on genius. Historians suggest that the famous philosopher Kant suffered from autism.

Conclusion

Although autism is now considered an incurable disease, one should not despair. A great popularity is gaining treatment for autism in Israel, because in this country live and work some of the best doctors. Remember that autistic children are also children who need caress and attention. The more you give them, the more you will receive.
