ASD diagnosis. What changes have occurred in the child?
This video tells the story of the impressive recovery results of a child diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder). The author describes the challenges they faced and the significant changes they experienced in just two months of work.
One of the main symptoms of autism is impaired communication. The child did not speak, made no sounds other than a few repetitive ones, did not understand spoken language, did not make eye contact, and showed no interest in typical childhood activities. He was picky about food, preferring pasta, potatoes, and sausages, and drank only juices and compotes, refusing water. Furthermore, the child was afraid of new places and did not interact with other children.
The video details the child's behavioral problems outside the home. He behaved aggressively and uncontrollably in stores and other public places, was unable to take medication or tolerate injections, and failed to interact with his sister or advocate for himself.
However, thanks to the rehabilitation course, the results of which are described in the video, significant improvements were achieved. The child, who had been diagnosed with ASD, began eating all permitted foods, including vegetables and nuts, drinking water, and giving up unhealthy snacks. He began using the potty and understanding his wants and needs.
The video also describes improvements in the child's behavior. He began to handle his things carefully, help around the house, and interact with his sister and other children. He became less fearful and calmer when going to stores.
The video places special emphasis on the child's new skills and behavior. He helps around the house, brings food, and imitates adults' behavior. The child, who was diagnosed with ASD, has become interested in books and calmly hands over his phone for reading.
In conclusion, the author expresses gratitude for the support and wishes the child success in her future recovery. She also emphasizes that addressing this issue will make a 100% difference in the lives of both the child and the parents.
The author describes in detail the challenges they faced and the results of their work on the problem. This allows for a better understanding of how an ASD diagnosis can impact the lives of a child and their loved ones, as well as what rehabilitation methods can be effective.
