Doctor Pham Ngoc Thanh - Former Head of Psychology Department - Children's Hospital 1 advises on how to detect signs of autism

CertificateAutism is quite common in children but diagnosis and treatment are not yet widespread. At the workshop, in the form of exchange, a lot of knowledge to help parents detect early signs of autism, especially at the "golden" time from 18 months to 24 months old, how to teach autistic children from non-verbal to verbal, how to handle difficulties, explosive behaviors and difficulties in the learning process at primary school level were shared.

One of the important issues in educating autistic children emphasized by Dr. Pham Ngoc Thanh - Former Head of the Department of Psychology - Children's Hospital 1 - Ho Chi Minh City is the need for harmonious coordination between medical facilities, families and schools. Detecting whether a child has autism or not can be detected early from behavioral symptoms such as not paying attention to other children playing, seeming resentful towards siblings, sitting and crying alone instead of calling for mother or not paying attention when parents go or come home, not reacting strongly when being held, hugged and kissed by parents or not raising hands to be picked up from the crib when someone comes to hold them. /.
