Currently, interventions for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in China are mainly carried out by professionals in rehabilitation institutions and special schools. However, when autistic children are older, they do not receive effective training and treatment, and there is no specific place in society to accommodate autistic adults. Mental hospitals are usually their ultimate home.
We report a 22-year-old male with ASD. The manifestation and/or intervention from the age of 3 years to now were recorded. He has been hospitalized in the closed ward of a mental hospital since 2015.
This report typically present the current problems in treatment and training of autistic children growing up in China. Life-long rehabilitation training is important for every patient with ASD. Relevant policies and resources in China should be optimized in terms of medical treatment and health care, education and training, social assistance, social security, labor employment, and social culture.
目前,中国自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童的干预主要由康复机构和特殊学校的专业人员进行。然而,自闭症儿童长大后并未接受有效的培训和治疗,社会上也没有专门容纳成年自闭症患者的场所。精神病院通常是他们最终的归宿。
我们报告一例22岁的ASD男性患者。记录了其从3岁至今的表现和/或干预情况。自2015年起,他一直在一家精神病院的封闭病房住院。
本报告典型地呈现了中国自闭症儿童成长过程中当前在治疗和培训方面存在的问题。终身康复训练对每位ASD患者都很重要。中国应在医疗保健、教育训练、社会救助、社会保障、劳动就业和社会文化等方面优化相关政策和资源。
