Question
Recently, some parents have noticed their child displaying unusual behavior, unwilling to interact with others, often staying alone in their room, and not wanting to play with other children. After being diagnosed by the hospital, the child is found to have autism. What effective training methods are there for autistic children?
Answer
Autism, also known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is often congenital and may lead to social and communication impairments in children. In terms of training methods, it is recommended to place the child in a more crowded environment to promote social interaction. Family members should increase communication with the child and encourage the development of interests and hobbies, avoiding long periods of solitary confinement. Treatment for autism should be timely to prevent the worsening of the condition. For the child’s specific situation, it is suggested that parents take their child to the hospital for a detailed examination and follow the doctor’s guidance for treatment.
