What are the symptoms of autistic children?

Language and communication disorder is an important symptom of autism, which is the main reason for most children to see a doctor. Language and communication disorders can be manifested in many forms. Most autistic children have delayed or impaired language development. They usually can't speak at the age of two or three, or they have language regression after normal language development. They have expressive language before the age of 2-3, which gradually decreases or even completely loses with age, Silence for life or limited use of language in rare cases. There are some obstacles in their ability to feel and express the language.

The patients are not interested in the games and toys that the normal children are keen on, but like to play with some non toy items, such as a bottle cap, or observe the rotating electric fan, and can last for dozens of minutes, or even several hours without feeling tired. They are not interested in the main features of toys, but they are very concerned about the non main features: the patient stubbornly requests to keep the routine of daily activities unchanged, such as the time to go to bed, the quilt to be covered, the same route to go out, etc. If these activities are stopped or behavior patterns are changed, patients will show obvious unhappiness and anxiety, and even resistance behavior. Patients may have repetitive and stereotyped movements, such as clapping hands repeatedly, circling, licking the wall with tongue, stamping feet, etc.

Studies at home and abroad have shown that about 50% of autistic children have moderate or above mental retardation (IQ is less than 50), 25% have mild mental retardation (IQ is 50-69), 25% have normal intelligence (IQ is more than 70), and those with normal intelligence are called high functional autism.
