As a speech pathologist, I often see children who learn to speak as they should. Sometimes, it soon becomes clear that these children may be diagnosed as a place of "autistic spectrum". Detailed definitions are autism spectrum disorders.
While I know the idea that a child must be increased. Sometimes parents come to therapy, and ask: "Do you think my child has autism?" Other parents may never have considered the possibility and it is very difficult for them to start talking about the case.
Parents can develop their knowledge about autism in the media. Very often, films and books provide people with autism that they have all the symptoms of autism. These symptoms have become the stereotype of autism. It can be very confusing. When parents see their child, says: "It does not look at my baby!"
As a speech pathologist to work with many children with autism or who are "autistic spectrum" somewhere. Everyone is different. They have different symptoms and learn differently and at different speeds. Many doctors who work with children "on a scale from" that can quickly determine that it is a case of watching the pattern of symptoms, rather than seeing the child has all the classic symptoms of autism.
Typically, children arrive speech pathology, because they do not speak like their peers. A child can not speak at all, or you can speak to a limited extent. Children with autism often repeat what you heard, which enter the words called Echolalia. It may be that what I just told them (like "Hi Justin") or duplicate lines from the movie literally. Sometimes children may sound like a talk in sentences, but it may be their own language and melody of speech, without clear words.
From the speech pathologist's opinion, and not differences in relation to normal development in a child communicates, just talk. Eye contact is usually limited, and your child does not automatically turn to you when you're trying to his attention.
When children learn to speak in accordance with the usual pattern, learn to play the majority of adult uses for communication. And so will ask for things, protest and refuse to use polite language in their comments about what they see or hear, and ask simple questions. They want to communicate, because they want to communicate with others. If your child has trouble getting their message can reach a lot of strategy to get what they want.
Typically, children with autism to communicate only a limited range of purposes and do not tend to look for communicative interaction only. They can be very sad when they are able to meet their needs, or when something disturbs them. It is not always easy to understand why they are upset. Children with autism may be more easily disturbed than other children, if they have sensory problems, even if it is too sensitive to sounds or touch.
They may also be less sensitive to the senses, such as sound and touch and look for ideas that push people or mirror, for example, or turning around and waving their hands.
Children have a tendency to want to socialize with others and learn to change the conversation and toys (even if that part can take a long time). Children with autism usually do not play with peers, and they are happier left to do the work. Often, even limited physical contact such as hugging, with his parents and siblings.
Diagnosis can be very difficult for parents to accept, especially if the disease affected their understanding of the media. Media certainly picked up on autism over the last decade and there are almost endless books and movies portray people with autism.
Do not be discouraged in this screen. Children are all individuals with their own personality and skills. If your child has autism, it's probably better to know than not know, for several reasons. Other people are more likely to understand the problems and treatment can be planned and managed.
Most children with autism can be shown how to communicate with others. Participates in school and many other activities that have been reported in the business. Some children with autism are very smart of the things that interest them. They learn social skills and how to effectively communicate with other people.
If you are worried about finding a speech pathologist who works with children with autism to support you and guide you through the issues and set up your child from the age of communication.
