In order to raise people's concern about autism and related research and diagnosis, as well as people with autism, the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution from June 5438 to February 2007: from 2008, April 2 of each year will be designated as "World Autism Day". The concept of autism was first put forward in 1943 by Leo Canner, an expert from Johns Hopkins University.

Autism, also called autism in medicine, is a disease that has not been recognized and understood by the whole society. Unlike diseases such as Down syndrome, autism does not affect the face of patients, so there is no difference between autistic people and normal people.

There are 35 million people suffering from autism, which is a nervous system disease. The development of sick children is hindered, and they lack normal language communication and social skills. In order to raise people's awareness of autism and strive for early treatment to improve patients' condition, the United Nations has designated April 2nd as World Autism Day every year. This resolution was proposed by Qatar and co-sponsored by 50 other countries.

Methods to prevent autism in children

1, don't close your children too much in the small circle of blind learning.

With the modernization of urban life, many people have moved into high-rise buildings, and high-rise buildings with one household and one door are likely to create a closed environment for children. Therefore, children should be allowed or encouraged to walk down from tall buildings into the yard, play with neighbors or nearby children, and establish friendship.

2. Try to let children participate in group activities.

Group activities include games and homework invited by neighbors and children; Including cultural and sports activities organized by schools and classes; Including congratulating students on their birthdays, saying goodbye to teachers and so on. Cultivate children's character from group activities and experience friendship, wisdom and warmth from group activities.

3. Create conditions for children to make friends.

Children should not only be allowed to walk down the tall building and out of the house, but also be allowed to invite them into the house. Provide children with opportunities to make friends and teach them the art, methods and skills of making friends.
