How long does an autism hearing test take to complete?
The hearing test for autistic patients generally takes 1-2 months to complete, and it is difficult to specify a specific time. Due to the delayed language development of autistic patients, it takes some time to clarify the hearing condition after the hearing test. In addition, autistic patients often have attention deficits, hyperactivity, and visual, tactile, cognitive, and language disorders, which can prolong the time required for hearing tests. If parents find that their autistic child has delayed language development, slow response to the outside world, or other similar situations, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a hearing test promptly. If the hearing test is passed, it usually indicates that there is no significant problem with the hearing. Parents can give their child targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor based on the child's specific condition.
1. Behavioral Training: Parents can engage in more verbal communication with their child, encouraging them to imitate actions or respond with corresponding actions. If the child cannot perform the corresponding actions, parents can wait for the child to be older and use methods such as fixed positions or attracting attention to guide the child in behavioral training.
2. Medication: Autistic patients can also take antipsychotic medications under the guidance of a doctor, such as risperidone, which can effectively improve their psychiatric symptoms and thereby promote language development.
3. Psychological Treatment: Autistic patients also require professional psychological treatment, including cognitive behavioral therapy and family intervention. Through psychological treatment, patients' maladaptive cognitions can be corrected, and interpersonal relationships and family member relationships can be strengthened, which helps promote recovery.
4. Physical Treatment: Transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy can also be used to promote the recovery of neural function and thereby improve patients' delayed language development. It is recommended that parents take their child the to hospital promptly for treatment with the doctor. The earlier the treatment, the less impact it will have on the child. Parents should also observe their child's behavior closely in daily life and consult a professional doctor promptly if any abnormal behavior is noticed.
