1, drug therapy
So far, no specific drugs have been invented to treat autism, but some drugs can relieve symptoms, such as fluoroaniline hydrochloride, oxymorphone, disorder drugs, hormone secretin, haloperidol, antiepileptic drugs and so on. These drugs can relieve symptoms, but the side effects may also affect the study and life of autistic children.
2. Family psychotherapy
Family psychotherapy has eight functions on average, mainly including speech therapy, social skills, sensory integration training, picture exchange system, ABA early intervention, floor time and so on. In addition, there are music therapy, social stories, occupational therapy and animal companion therapy. The purpose of these treatments is to improve the life and learning ability of autistic children.
3. Sensory integration therapy
Autistic children suffer from sensory integration disorder due to brain dysfunction, so they can't sort out and analyze the stimuli and information received by the five basic human sensory systems, such as vision, hearing, touch, vestibular sensation, kinesthetic sensation of muscles and joints, and can't respond appropriately to the surrounding environment.
The purpose of sensory integration therapy is to provide the input of the above sensory stimuli and control them appropriately, so that children can develop naturally according to the driving force, thus promoting the combination and unity of these senses and helping autistic children improve their concentration, organization, learning ability and interest in participating in activities.
4. Behavioral therapy
At present, the most widely used psychotherapy for autistic children is behavioral therapy. Behavioral therapy is a general term for psychotherapy techniques aimed at alleviating or improving patients' symptoms or bad behaviors. Through behavioral therapy, we can eliminate or correct the abnormal behaviors and physiological functions of autistic children and establish new healthy behaviors to replace them.
5. Structured teaching methods
Structured teaching method is one of the most effective interventions and treatments for autism. Structured teaching method mainly adopts visual clarity, visual reorganization, regular work inertia, visual instructions and other ways to make autistic children learn effectively. Schools and families can adopt structured teaching according to the specific situation of autistic children.
6. Causes of formation
(1) is caused by environmental toxins
Toxins in the environment can lead to abnormal fetal development in the early stage. The fetus or newborn baby in the womb is poisoned by chemicals that hinder brain development, and the baby may be affected and cause autism.
(2) Family factors.
Family factors will also affect children's psychology to some extent. The family environment is monotonous or violent, the relationship between parents is not harmonious, or parents have high IQ, but they are rigid and obsessive, indifferent and stubborn to their children, and the family lacks warmth, which also easily leads to children's autism.
(3) the environment is depressed.
The family environment is depressed and children are not valued by their parents. In order not to lose face, parents often reprimand and scold their children, and often embarrass their children in public, which easily leads to psychological imbalance and will be withdrawn and autistic over time.
Or children who have been in a monotonous environment for a long time will use repetitive actions to self-stimulation, and have no interest in the external environment, leading to autism.
