The prognosis of autism: 50% of autism is basically normal, and 5% is completely normal after entering adulthood.
Early training and education is one of the effective ways to recover from autism. Its purpose is: to improve their socialization behavior, first learn to get along with and communicate with their families; Teach them the ability to take care of themselves as much as possible, master practical skills in life and the ability to learn further; Cultivate the basic ability to meet the needs of occupation; Increase your interest in understanding and exploring social life.
The results show that about 5% of autistic patients who entered early adulthood after intervention no longer rely on others to find a paid job; 10% patients have improved symptoms but still need protection; 25% have made progress but can't live independently. McEachin et al. conducted one-on-one behavior training for autistic patients of 1993 19, training for 40 hours a week for more than 2 years. The results show that the training group has improved in IQ, social adaptability, interpersonal communication, behavioral and emotional symptoms, partnership, sympathy and family relations, and 47% can enter ordinary schools. The Children's Psychological Counseling Department of Shanghai Psychological Counseling Center is conducting one-on-one training to help autistic children recover soon.
There are no reports about adult autism in China. Since 1970s, there have been more and more reports about the prognosis of autism abroad. GLLberg and Steffenbinrg( 1987) tracked 23 autistic patients who met DSM-II diagnostic criteria at the age of 16-23, and found that 59% of the patients had poor prognosis in adolescence or adulthood, and only 4% had good prognosis (they were hardly among normal people).
Wing( 1993) pointed out that children diagnosed with autism in childhood have three main behavior types in adulthood: (1) they are still far away from others and seem to be different from others; (2) They are active and friendly, and have no obvious anxiety when they are with others; (3) Although active, there are still weird behaviors and social maladjustment. GLLberg( 1987) reported that about 50% of autistic adults belong to (1) group, the remaining 25% belong to (2) group and the remaining 25% belong to (3) group.
Many patients of the first category have been studying in regular classes in normal schools. Although I have a normal IQ, I have not learned useful skills for many years, and my personality is withdrawn. They have a language, but they can't communicate effectively with others. They can't coordinate the relationship with the collective, and they still maintain a special ritual action and eccentric behavior. This shows that the examination-oriented education in contemporary official schools is difficult to bring beneficial quality training to autistic children.
In 2007, there was a gratifying example of autistic adults: Sun Shouning, an autistic youth in Shenzhen, won the "Gold Medal of Youth Group A in the First Hong Kong International Youth Art Festival Piano Competition".
Sun Shouning (nicknamed Beibei) is the oldest autistic person who appears in the local media at present. He was born on1September 9, 983. Beibei grew up with a pair of big eyes with great aura. When he was one and a half years old, he was able to recite Tang poems and know 26 English letters. Neighbors praised him as a "genius". However, with the growth of age, some neglected weaknesses of Beibei gradually emerged, such as his poor hands movements, vague speech, not talking to children, not playing, not contacting strangers ... At the age of five, Professor Tao Guotai from Nanjing Children's Mental Health Research Center told them that Beibei suffered from severe childhood autism (later called "autism").
"discover the potential of children as soon as possible and cultivate them in a targeted manner." Music is originally the function of the right brain, and the right brain of autistic children is always open, which is the reason why Beibei succeeded in learning piano.
Early training and education is the most effective way to recover from autism. There was no mature training method before, and now it still has such an effect. I believe that using scientific education methods will definitely make the prognosis of autism full of hope! Through scientific argumentation, China 1000 million children have the experience of reading classics and the successful experience of becoming talents at home and abroad. Classic education is the most scientific means of education, and it is also the best way to cultivate children with autism. Reading classics can increase the dendritic development of neurons and enrich the series connection of cranial nerve systems, thus greatly enhancing the IQ and coordination ability of the left and right brains. There have been examples to prove that autism and autism are cured by reading classics.
Introduction of classic reading content for autistic children;
1. Teachers or parents or VCD tape recorders lead children to read Disciple's Rules, San Zi Jing, University, Tao Te Ching, The Doctrine of the Mean, The Analects of Confucius and English Shakespeare. The Sonnets. (Note that the effect of reciting Tang Poems is much worse than reading classics. Classics can be memorized, and Tang poetry and Song poetry can be heard. )
2. Look at China's classic calligraphy and famous paintings, and look at western classic paintings. Watch and play.
3. Listen to Chinese classical music and western classical music. Listen and play.
Children can do it at home, almost without spending money. They don't want to understand, they just want to follow. Music is just listening, and calligraphy and painting are just watching, listening and playing. In order to open the wisdom of the right brain in the critical period from 3 years old to 13 years old.
The right brain is the root and the left brain is the branches and leaves. The period from 15 to 25 years old is the left brain period, during which the ability of mathematical logic is developed on the basis of the right brain from 3 to 13 years old. In this period, we should know classics, use classics, understand music, and know calligraphy and painting, and then we should create literature and art and study natural science. )
Please note: don't let children read alone first, it's a stupid way. Disciple rules are 1000 words. After the child can recite the Disciple Rules, let him read the Disciple Rules Card, and he can even learn to read by himself! So classic education is easy. As long as you recite Disciple's Rules, San Zi Jing, University, Tao Te Ching and The Analects of Confucius, the Xinhua dictionary will have 5000 words! Some children can easily master 5,000 words in three years, and all books can be read, because they go to a Bible-reading school (Note: The Full-time Chinese Teaching Outline for Nine-year Compulsory Education stipulates that primary school graduates learn 2,500 common words and junior high school graduates learn 3,500 common words)! Don't teach adults anymore! You can teach yourself!
Reading classics education, once and for all! This initial work, if you use computer VCD, is just a light job.
6. Encourage children more! Make more skin contact with children, stimulate emotional awareness, kiss and hug, pat shoulders and touch your head. Be sure to read the six-character mantra at the beginning of the Bible: "Son, repeat after me", which is the simplest and most effective way to cultivate children's attention.
