A way to detect autism at an early stage has been found
A special eye test has been developed by scientists from the University of Washington, USA, which allows you to make an early diagnosis of autism that occurs in children.
As you know, autism is a condition associated with a violation of the psyche. Jajji patients with this diagnosis do not want to communicate with the outside world, with those around them. Likes loneliness. Repeats the same behavior and words.
A child with autism lives in his own world. His thinking is not the same as that of others. Emotional experiences play a key role in their behavior. This disease in most cases occurs in children under 3 years of age. But most parents cannot notice its first signs in time. More pronounced symptoms, on the other hand, are more likely to be noticed in patients aged 2-3 years.
Another of the main symptoms typical of the disease is that the patient cannot look Children straight into the eyes of others. In this case, they try to escape, taking their gaze. Speech defects, inability to play intellectual games, sleep disorders, a tendency to aggression, and fear can also be signs of autism.
"Children with this disease are accurately diagnosed in medical practice at the age of about 4 years. But this is a rather late term. However, it is easy for such patients to return to a healthy life if appropriate treatments are started at the age of 18-24 months.” - says Georgina Lynch, head of the above study conducted in the United States.
The test tests developed by the authors of the study are quite simple. It can be done even at home. To do this, it is enough if the child's attitude to light is monitored.
For example, blackbirds usually expand in a light environment. And in conditions where the light falls less, it will return to normal again. When performing the above test, it is important to assess the rate at which this process occurs. Scientists explain that this reflex is slower in children diagnosed with autism and takes longer for the pupils to return to their original size.
