What are the symptoms of childhood autism

First: narrow interest, rigid and repetitive behavior. Autistic children often focus on some or several games or activities for a long time. For example, they are obsessed with rotating the lid of the pot or circling on the ground by themselves. They like to watch TV advertisements and weather forecasts, but they are not interested in storytelling cartoons, children's TV and movies. Some children insist on taking the same route to kindergarten every day. If there is any change, there will be obvious emotional dissatisfaction such as crying and making a scene.

Second: lonely and out of touch with others. Autistic children like to be alone and have no dependence on their parents. Some children react in their infancy and don't like to be held by others. When they are held by others, they will cry. Their loneliness also shows that they don't care about the things around them. They can do what they want to do. They have no scruples. It seems that everything around them has nothing to do with him. It's hard to arouse his interest and attention, and they don't make eye contact with others.

Third, the speech barrier is prominent. Most autistic children speak very little, and in serious cases they don't even speak. They don't respond even when others shout at them. Some of them can make sounds, but they can't complete the scene communication, so they can only make simple and repeated sounds. There are also some children will be shown to speak very small voice or articulation is not clear, only people who are familiar with him can understand his meaning. In addition, some of them have normal speech ability before, but their speech ability suddenly declines when they are 3-4.5 years old, so they lose their situational communication ability.
