April is the month of dissemination of information about autism. Let's take a quick look at the main symptoms of this mental disorder. With autism, it is difficult to communicate with other people and it is difficult to understand other people's and their emotions. The most common signs of autism are stereotyped movements, speech delays, and unusual use of words.

The first signs of autism appear in children under 3 years of age. Autism in girls is 3-5 times less common than in boys. Such a child is equally indifferent to all people and may incorrectly perceive their mood. Such children usually play alone in their own fictional games, so they are uncomfortable with other children.

Children with autism can live the normal life of a healthy person, but they need constant help from a psychologist for social adaptation.

Many people know the film "Forrest Gump" - the features of the protagonist most closely resemble the signs of autism. Fascinating and mesmerizing films, where heroes with autism are also revealed: "The Bridge", "Rain Man", "The Boy Who Could Fly."
