Autism And Mental Retardation Of Clinical Manifestation And Influence Factors Study

Research Objective:This paper mainly discusses the early clinical symptoms of autism and mental retardation through the questionnaire survey,to provide these two disease diagnosis and etiology research clues in the future. Through the comparative study about the clinical manifestations and the risk factors of children with autism and mental retardation we try to find out specific clinical manifestations and risk factors of theses, to further identify autism and mental retardation and avoid the misdiagnosis.Research Methods:Choose 96 children with autism and 66 children with mental retardation up to the diagnosis standard. Professional doctors use ABC, CARS, etc, filled by parents to assess and diagnose. Parents were asked to fill an questionnaire and investigators collected data.Research Results:1 Two groups of children’s parents’general situation is:the two groups of children’s parents birth the child’s age, culture level, engaged in professional, mental health, family history, parenting (economic) environment, examined the χ2,and the result is p > 0.05, differences were not statistically significant.2 Clinical comparison of two groups of children:the comparison between children with autism and children with mental retardation group, in terms of language development, such as can understand simple instructions, Language communication, such as whether it is active to communicate with others, Nonverbal communication ability, such as whether can use gestures, posture, to express their needs, Social skills, such as playing house imaginative game, special interest or interest in behavior, such as eccentricity, Cognitive aspects, such as the presence of cognitive backwards, Sports ability, such as when to walk, all the items results were p< 0.05, differences were statistically significant.3 Comparing two groups of children with the disease risk factors: two groups of mothers health during pregnancy: compares and analyses any serious pregnancy reaction, threatened abortion, medication history, mood condition, and so on, and there is no statistical difference. the situation of the two groups of children birth: using chi-square test to test fetal times and parity history, development situation in the womb, the production mode, the condition of the umbilical cord, placenta, suffocation, jaundice, etc and we found that autism and mental retardation group, comparing fetal birth weight, intrauterine development situation, mode of production were statistically significant differences (p < 0.05), and other various situation, p> 0.05, there were no statistically significant differences. Children raised case studies analysis: two groups of children in the way of parenting style, the children often play way, test result were p< 0.05, the differences were statistically significant, while others there were no statistically significant differences.Research Conclusion:1 Children with autism had obvious gender ratio difference, and their parents’ age, occupation, educational level etc. had no differences.2 Comparing children with mental retardation Children with autism had development delayed significant in verbal communication, nonverbal, social, cognitive, interests, etc, Children with autism in the above all aspects of the performance is compared to children of mental retardation has obvious defects.3 The mothers of autism group pregnancy health had no specificity, children born situation such as mode of production, raising children such as children often game play, autism and mental retardation group had some differences.Research suggestion:1 To improve the diagnostic criteria of autism, and make autism assessment tools to localization, higher accuracy, improve the level of the diagnosis of autism, reduce and avoid misdiagnosis.2 Strengthen the parents know about autism, through improving the understanding of the parents, to early detection.3 To improve the medical staff level of the identification and understanding of autism and related disorders, to reduce missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.4 Autism treatment and rehabilitation calls for the joint efforts of parents.5 It is necessary for the government to invest the special autism research and prevention. The government should increase funding for autism research, prevention, rehabilitation and set up special funds for it.
