Autism is misdiagnosed. According to relevant data, the misdiagnosis rate is quite high.

Tell a case:

There is a visitor's child. When he was over one year old, his parents found that his motor development was slower than that of other children. After one year old, I can't walk normally, I'm easy to trip over, and I can't get what I want quickly. When communicating with people, he can't understand the meaning of adults well. For example, if you wave goodbye to him, he doesn't know what it means, and the language is slower than other children. At this time, his parents were in a hurry. I was taken to the hospital for examination. At that time, the doctor said I was suspected of autism. When I was more than three years old, the contrast of this developmental delay was more obvious than that of children of the same age. At that time, the hospital diagnosed autism. The parents took their children to almost all hospitals in China and did various rehabilitation treatments, but in the end, the results were minimal. Disappointed parents gave up the treatment, but as the child grew up, the difference between the child and other children became smaller and smaller at the age of 9- 10. He can take care of himself, call for help and help his mother with housework, but in some ways, his reaction is slower than that of other children, but this does not affect his normal life and study. Obviously, this is a misdiagnosed autism, which makes parents and children very painful.

Obviously, the above events were misdiagnosed as autism because of some functional retardation.

The misdiagnosis rate of autism is so high, mainly because the diagnostic criteria follow the standards set by the United States. A child can be defined as autism as long as he meets the two manifestations of "repetitive stereotyped behavior" and "social disorder"

But I don't think this scale in the United States is suitable for China's national conditions, because in the United States, as long as autism is diagnosed, it means that the follow-up treatment costs will be paid by the government. In this case, it is better to let one go if one thousand people are killed by mistake, and this loose identification standard is not applicable in China. At present, in China, parents have to pay this fee, and poor parents not only have to bear high rehabilitation costs, but also bear great psychological pressure.

Therefore, when a child is found to be stunted, parents should realize that this is not necessarily autism, but maybe it is just a lack of ability or stunting in one aspect.

Autism is one of the most common and representative types of pervasive developmental disorders, and it is a serious physical and mental developmental disorder that began in infancy. It is characterized by interpersonal communication disorder, abnormal speech communication, limited interest and rigid behavior, and most children are accompanied by mental retardation to varying degrees.

Autism is misdiagnosed mainly because autism is a pedigree, and some specific manifestations of each child will be different, such as mild, suspected, inclined, marginal or typical or atypical. Some doctors lack the knowledge of autism diagnosis and sufficient clinical experience, especially it is difficult to confirm the symptoms of mild autism at a young age.

However, with the popularization of the concept of autism, the improvement of attention to this disorder, the improvement of understanding of this disorder and the continuous improvement of medical level, there is a clear diagnosis of autism, and this misdiagnosis phenomenon will become less and less. Of course, when parents find that their children have suspected autism symptoms, it is recommended to go to a regular large-scale specialized hospital for diagnosis, so as to reduce the probability of misdiagnosis.

Never experienced it, never heard of it. As far as I know, autism may be concerned about children less, busy with their own affairs, ignoring their inner world and spiritual feelings, caring little, and interacting with children less, so that children are silent in their own world and refuse to actively communicate with others, thus closing their inner world. As the saying goes, children with stars, once found, have no time to regret. Advise parents to leave one person to accompany their children and the other to do something.

Autism is easy to be misdiagnosed when young, because the formation of autism requires long-term intervention and training by professionals. Many children with autism symptoms are mentally and linguistically retarded and do not begin to understand. If we treat them as normal, stupid and lazy children, they can gradually become simple-minded ordinary people.

Many parents will have such managers. The child was diagnosed with autism by the hospital when he was a child, but he did not take the child for special education and rehabilitation. After several years, many autistic psychological behaviors of some children gradually decrease or even disappear. When I went to the hospital for reexamination, the doctor no longer said that it was autism.

More and more parents are convinced that their children, like most children trained in various institutions, are other developmental disorders or even normal children, and have been misdiagnosed as autism.

The child of a well-known autism WeChat official account and the head of a rehabilitation institution was diagnosed as "suspected autism and Asperger's tendency" by an authoritative doctor at the age of 3. But a few years later, she publicly admitted that her child should be a case of misdiagnosis.

The following excerpts about her child's autism diagnosis and her own opinions come from her public information:

"The doctor's diagnosis of my baby is doubtful, because I am not three years old and don't make a definite diagnosis.

I guess if it is diagnosed at the age of 3, it may be high-functioning autism.

Children are diagnosed before the age of three, and some doctors take them home directly, because it is completely certain that they are not autistic.

Give a suspected diagnosis, indicating that there are suspected ingredients in it, at least in the marginal area, and there are some symptoms.

So I later said that it was a misdiagnosis, not a doctor's misjudgment.

It means that as the child grows up, there is more evidence to judge that he belongs to a child who is not so close to autism.

This kind of progress was unpredictable and unpredictable by doctors at that time.

He can only make a judgment based on what he saw and heard at that time and the description of parents based on the specific development stage of the child.

Children are growing individuals, different from adults who have been stereotyped.

Therefore, the diagnosis of children is temporarily lagging behind because of developmental problems.

Or is autism caused by fundamental genetic defects not easy to cure?

The face-to-face diagnosis is definitely not 100% accurate, but there are not many judgments that parents can refer to except authoritative diagnosis.

"Although children are different from ordinary people, I have classified them as normal personality differences between ordinary people.

Interestingly, after the child was diagnosed, I added several parents with autism.

There is a group that has about a third of the children since I joined.

Parents have taken off their hats for their children (autism diagnosis is called wearing hats, and overturning diagnosis is called "taking off hats")

It can be inferred that some temporary problems in the development of these children are treated as autism.

So when these problems disappear because of the child's growth, the so-called autism symptoms are "magically" improved.

And it is hard to say how much of this is due to the deliberate intervention of parents.

How much is the inevitable result of children's growth.

The diagnosis of autism itself is a process that needs long-term observation and repeated follow-up, but in fact, many hospitals in China simply can't do this. Basically, it is to give parents an evaluation form, which parents fill out themselves, and then the hospital will make a simple evaluation of the children.

At present, before the age of 3, each child's growth varies greatly. 2-3 years old is the golden age and needs rescue intervention. But in fact, before the age of three, the hospital can't make a diagnosis, and it will only give you a result of suspected autism. For the parents of children, it is not certain, but they have to intervene, otherwise they will delay the children. This is simply suffering, driving people crazy.

So whether it is misdiagnosed or not, the pressure is enormous. Parents try their best to intervene and the children have been making progress. Even if the child has fully integrated into the normal campus life, his small behavior problems will be magnified by his family and he will feel that he has problems. The same thing, put on a child who has never experienced this kind of experience, everyone thinks that he is just naughty and well educated. To put it bluntly, it is colored glasses. This is unfair to the children themselves and to me, and it will also give us more pressure invisibly.

Speaking of intervention, I really can't agree that some hospitals, such as acupuncture and instruments, waste time and don't tell children about their pain. Using these anxious psychological emotions, are parents really good? In the final analysis, it is still profit-driven. # Psychology # Psychological Research # Psychoanalysis # Psychological Emotion # Psychology # Psychology
