What is autism?<\/h2>\n

It is a syndrome that affects the child population and is a dysfunction in socio-adaptive skills and behavioral repetition restraint disorders, so children who suffer from it have motor development, language, and socialization problems.<\/b><\/p>\n

It is estimated that out of every 100,000 births, five will have it, and although this figure is not high, the disease has a strong impact on the family and the child.<\/span> Only 5% of these children will become independent and autonomous during their adult life, while the other 95% will require the supervision of another person.<\/span><\/p>\n

An early diagnosis is essential to improve the patient\u2019s quality of life in the long term, which must be tackled from the first months.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the symptoms?<\/h2>\n

\n
• If at 18 months the baby does not point with its finger to ask for what he or she wants and uses less than five words.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Before 24 months has little eye contact.<\/span><\/li>\n
• At 30 months it is not able to make sentences with two elements.<\/span><\/li>\n
• The patient has excessive preferences for people, concepts, movements, ideas, characters, words.<\/span><\/li>\n
• Shows little control in repetitive activities such as spinning, jumping, repeating words, flapping wings, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>

  What is the quality of life of a person with this disorder?<\/h2>\n

  Depends on early intervention.<\/span> For this, it is necessary to see a <\/span>pediatric neurologist <\/b>specialist in this disorder, and who, with the help of therapists and other specialists (audiologists, neurophysiologists, allergists, nutritionists, pediatric gastroenterologists), will assist the patient.<\/span><\/p>\n

  It is important to identify each child\u2019s strengths and weaknesses so that a multidisciplinary team can establish the most appropriate treatment for each case.<\/span> The treatment is mainly based on psychological therapies aimed at acquiring greater socialization, developing, as far as possible, their language skills and a better adaptation.<\/span><\/p>\n

  It is common for these children to require pharmacological management to treat some alterations such as anxiety, depression, or aggressive episodes, which are secondary effects of this syndrome.<\/span><\/p>\n
