After a treatment courses (30 days) of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment, one suffering from autism in children 5 years old boy first initiative to lend a hand in his mother\'s skirt, young mother suddenly tears, but issued a happy laughter. Finally had a feeling of attachment to mother of her children. This is recent in Tongzhou, Beijing, an ordinary family scene. This is the second artillery corps General Hospital Pediatric therapy in the treatment of autism in children by TCM and WM\'s remarkable achievements, this reporter recently interviewed the boy\'s attending physician, the PLA second artillery corps Deputy Director of the General Hospital of Pediatrics Professor Li fang.
Minister Li said that children with autism and autism in children, is a mental illness. It to serious loneliness, lack of emotional response, developmental disorders of language, stereotyped repetitive movements and characterized strange reaction on the environment. Foreign information indicating that Western children autism incidence has risen from three out of 10,000 to four of the current twenty out of 10,000. Because morbidity increased gradually, began to attract attention and study, but no exact statistics.
Minister Li said, pathogenesis of this disease in infants born within 30 months, that is, onset before the age of 3. Onset usually come in two forms: one is the outset growth has lagged behind other children; the other for late-onset, with the cause of intellectual. Is etiology is not clear, but it is conjectured there are four key areas: genetic; brain injury, particularly maternal, perinatal, delivery periods can easily lead to infant brain damage; immune dysfunction; socio-psychological effects, such as the parents themselves isolated and comparative indifference to their children, thus affecting the child\'s psychological.
On the clinical manifestations, director Li said, there are three main areas: (1) communication barriers. Such children from infancy wouldn\'t let hold, regardless of their parents or are strangers, being held does not react when; \"defiant\", unwilling to each other and people, and so on. (2) the language barrier. Born does not love words, but listening system intact. Learn to speak, is not ready to speak. As for the children of late-onset, incidence of once, it does not say, and say. No words can say, do not understand or difficult to understand what others say, such children pronunciation systems are quite normal. But generally in children with egocentric language, have their own way of expression. Love yourself, muttered like usual, others do not understand what he is saying; or characterized by sudden screaming, shouting. (3) acts stiff and rigid. Actions a day is fixed. From a to the other side of the room, always repeat the same route; cycle of doing the same action, with a story, do the same puzzle. Different clinical manifestations of children varied, different symptoms different, some children appear as repeating other people\'s language, such as, the adults said: \"ask aunt good. \"He said:\" ask aunt good. \"And the response of normal child should be\" aunt good. ”
Minister Li said, the disease belongs to the universal developmental disorders. Begin to emerge from infancy, can be extended to life, is a serious emotional disorder disease. If not early detection, early intervention, will seriously affect the child\'s intellectual development, and profoundly affect the child\'s personality development and even become disabled. Self attacks can occur in some patients such as self-mutilation, and some serious social disorder, have a heavy burden on society, the family will.
Treatment involving parents of autistic children, paediatricians, psychologists, special education teacher, and so on. Current awareness and medical technologies, the disease also no immediate treatment methods and means, there is no cure, all treatment is in trial and error phase. Respected education abroad, rehabilitation training, such as language, social interaction, emotional exchange of training. But the recovery rate is only 30%. Training in this area in China is relatively lagging behind, General treatment for a learning from and imitating the West\'s training approach, such as music therapy, induced by various methods such as the piano. Director Lee opined that, although the above methods to improve the overall intelligence development is better, but treatment should be directed at individual children, because children with different emphases and different causes of disease. Lee, in the opinion, with combination of Chinese and Western therapy is better, such as acupuncture and moxibustion therapy of traditional Chinese medicine and aid to rehabilitation training on curative effect of brain injury children better.
