In this episode, we will learn about autism. Autism is a developmental disorder that is characterized by impaired social interaction (living in their own world). Dr. Hasnah Toran explains the symptoms of  autism:

  1. Likes to be alone.
  2. Unable to communicate properly.
  3. Restrictive and repetitive behavior.

 

Here are some SMART IMMUNE Tips offerred by Puan Ija and Puan Nazmin to parents with children who suffer from autism :

    1. Try to reduce the sensitivity of the mouth area, to encourage them to eat.
    2. Reward your children when they are able to pronounce words properly.
    3. Invite children to 'compliance activities' for example calling their names.
    4. Make a timetable together.
    5. Play with your children and  let them give instructions for the activity.
