doi:10.11852/zgetbjzz2024-1398

Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, the prevalence of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has been increasing annually and has become a globally recognized public health issue. Currently, rehabilitation treatment primarily focuses on educational interventions and behavioral modifications, emphasizing core symptom training, while there is insufficient management regarding children's health status. However, the health condition of children with ASD significantly impacts their prognosis. Based on this, Specialized Committee on Prevention and Treatment of Autism of China Maternal and Child Health Research Association has led the establishment of an expert panel to develop this consensus. This consensus aims to provide guidance for medical institutions at all levels, as well as for doctors, rehabilitation therapists, teachers, and parents. It advocates for the adoption of targeted, personalized, and developmentally appropriate health management strategies and family support plans based on the foundation of rehabilitation education and training,so as to support the children with ASD to reach their maximum potential.

Key words: autism spectrum disorder, children, health management

摘要： 近年来,孤独症谱系障碍(ASD)的患病率逐年上升,已经成为全球公认的公共卫生问题。目前康复治疗以教育干预、行为矫正为主,着重于核心症状训练,而对儿童健康状况的管理比较欠缺,但ASD儿童的健康状况严重影响预后。基于此,中国妇幼健康研究会孤独症防治专委会牵头成立专家组,制定本专家共识,以供各级诊疗与康复训练机构的医师、康复技师、教师及家长参考,在实施康复教育训练的基础上,采取针对性、个性化、与发育水平相适应的健康管理策略及家庭支持方案,为实现ASD儿童最大潜能发挥。
