PDD-NOS children showed a clear interference in the aspect of communication, social interaction, and interest / attention that is. Meanwhile the American Pediatric Association (APA) precisely defines PDD-NOS as a set of problems autistic / developmental disorder that consists of 5 state that: Autism, Asperger Syndrome, Rett's Syndrome, CDD (Childhood Disintegrative Disorder), and PDD-NOS.
Every child with PDD-NOS has an intensity varying interference. Some children with PDD-NOS have obstacles in school or home, while others have difficulty in the area of his life.
The term PDD-NOS is used if a child shows some signs / symptoms of autism but does not meet all the criteria is there to be said as autism or other forms of PDD.
The term PDD-NOS is also sometimes referred to the term APD (Atypical Personality Development), APDD (Atypical PDD), or Atypical Autism, or categorized in ASD which is closer to a diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome although it may not fit. Actual or children show characteristics of autism but without some other symptoms of autism.
Autistic spectrum
Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a term used to describe a set of abnormalities in the presence of interference / problems / disorders that vary in the areas of social interaction, communication, interests are very limited, and highly repetitive behavior. So this issue as a spectrum where at one end there is a clear autism (full-blown, meet all criteria), and walked to the other end with problems / disorders / symptoms of an increasingly "fade" until it ends at the end of which Asperger's syndrome or PDD -NOS.
Characteristics that are typical of Asperger's syndrome is not the delay in the onset of speech in children, but there is interference / problems in communication and language (please distinguish between the terms speak the language).
Asperger syndrome, generally trouble growing concern after the bigger children (ranging in age from elementary school) which required greater language skills needed to communicate and interact with its environment.
Multisystem Developmental Disorder (MSDD) is a term first used by Stanley Greenspan to describe children 3 years old and younger who show signs of communication disorders such as autism, but with keterlekatan strong emotions that do not exist in autism.
Similar autistic
Parents often experience confusion as to the mention of the disorder. Yet all the same, there are only criteria are met and there is not. Which in fact often is infantile autism. But often do not meet the diagnostic criteria as a whole, but it is no autistic traits. Well if it were so, to make it easier, people usually call PDD-NOS. So there autistic traits, but not complete, do not meet the diagnostic criteria for infantile.
The most common cases in Indonesia is infantile autism, PDD-NOS, and Asperger. Comparisons between men and women who have autistic disorder was 4: 1. Autism is a disorder that exist in the human brain, which causes the child to live in his own world.
This disorder usually appears in children under the age of three. Parents also must be able to differentiate and really sure when the fault occurred. When appearing under three years, then it is autistic. But there are one or two cases that appear in the top five or six years. If so, are not called autistic disorder, but other disorders that have autistic traits.
Until now, it is not certain causes of autism. However, in recent years research, genetic factors considered to be factors that cause autism. Perhaps parents said no family history, but is thought to be a mutation of the gene.
Other studies mentioned when one parent who advanced age can reduce autistic children. Mothers who are elderly, over 40 years, and the father who advanced age of 50 years, must be careful. They could be expected to decrease the lack of good genes.
The goal of therapy
For children with autism, basically can not be cured, although the high-functioning autistic child whose symptoms are perfectly normal. However, parents who have children with autism do not have to worry. Autistic children can be treated, as long as it is properly done therapists are really professional in his field.
The goal of therapy is actually making the child can grow and develop, especially their language processes. Moreover, 75 percent could not speak. If he could speak, minimal decrease symptoms of emotional keagresivan or tantrums, because he had revealed what he does not want and that she does not like. Further course of social development. And most importantly independence, such as bathing, eating, and sleeping.
Which must be done
For parents, early detection must be done. Administration of drugs should not be feared because it will be adjusted and will not be given a lifetime.
Parent and large families also have to accept what their autistic children. Process to help the autistic child's development could be years. Patience and compassion is needed.
For the general public, avoid looking at autistic child as someone strange, especially infectious. The mention of "autistic" are mushrooming in the community to be mockery, not be used. Do not wear the mention of "autistic" outside the real situation because it would offend the parents who have autistic children.
