These children are not like everyone else. With age, they get used to society, but it feels that peace is not so important for them. Their intelligence is often above average, but at school it is difficult and difficult for them. Kids rain. And the doctor will diagnose them from the Autism Spectrum Disorders section.
However, how to determine whether a person is sick? How does autistic disorder manifest? Firstly, the child has difficulty communicating with the outside world. Many have noticed that yawning is contagious. But autists do not "get infected." That is, those social connections that are important for ordinary people, for the "rain people" are not of great value. Secondly, communication for such individuals is a very difficult task. Thirdly, repeating actions are considered a sign of autism , they are stereotypical: a person has a small repertoire of behavior.
Autistic spectrum disorders appear as early as 2-3 years. These babies have no reaction to living people. They often do not hug mom, are not interested in the facial expressions of people and their emotions. They are interested in things and their properties, often they choose their favorite toys and can not switch to others. They seem to be fixated on certain actions and can do the same thing for hours, for example, pouring sand. It happens that a child behaves normally until a certain age, and then suddenly acquires autistic properties.
Often, "rain children" do not even respond to their name, avoid eye contact with people around them. It is difficult for them to understand how these surrounding, ordinary clues that tell conventionally normal people about relationships and conditions do not seem to exist for them. For some reason, empathy is not peculiar to them, your expression in your eyes or tone of voice will not tell them anything, they live in a world without people. They don’t look for signs of self-attitude. Sometimes, when they are forced to communicate, they can even be aggressive.
Very characteristic of small autistic movements like rocking or torsion in place. Often they tend to be aggressive towards themselves. They can bite themselves or hit on the head. Children whose condition is described by a diagnosis from the Autism Spectrum Disorders series often call themselves by their name or “you,” “you.” And others are called "I". This is not surprising, because that's what people say about themselves. And they are really called either by name or by “you” and “you”. So this symptom is quite logical based on their logic. They generally start talking later than other children. Autism spectrum disorders prevent children from learning to play with peers. If they speak, then only on some of their favorite topics, and they don’t care if their interlocutor needs and is interested.
Often, autistic disorder is not their only psychiatric diagnosis. Autists can have genetic abnormalities or cognitive disorders, sometimes, "rain children" suffer from attention deficit disorder. About 20-30% of them by the age of eighteen years have experience of epileptic seizures.
With age, some of them become more adapted than others. Some are even able to graduate from high school, although they make up a small percentage of the total.
What causes autistic disorders in children? In modern psychiatry, genes are usually blamed. The hypothesis of improper upbringing has not been confirmed, although, of course, loving parents can make their child's life easier.
What if the child is diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders? Look at the situation differently. Adult autists consider their condition simply an alternative way of being. Maybe this is true to some extent? The good thing is that these children are no longer considered schizophrenics.
