To determine if you are a Japanese person, check these three things:


First, is it possible to make eye contact with the child?

Second, does your child point to objects?

Third, do you respond to being called?

Autism is said to be a spectrum.
That means the spectrum is very wide.
Of course, developmental delays and autistic tendencies can be greatly improved through classes and learning.

Children with a low gestational age can become verbal after just a few months of classes and can reach the normal developmental range through classes and learning.
So, prompt consultation and special treatment are needed.


Autistic tendencies can change as a child grows, so we can't say that children with borderline traits have autism, but one thing is certain: if special treatment isn't started now, there's a high chance that the child will develop autism.

When I teach with nonverbal (nonverbal) children, I have a rule.


First, listen to the sounds your child makes.

Second, check if you can 'blow' by putting your lips together, such as with a whistle or soap bubbles.
Third, confirm the desire to communicate using verbal expressions.

First, listen to the sounds your child makes.

First, listen to the child come into the classroom and make sounds on his/her own.

We also listen to the sounds you make when you ask your therapist for something.
We also hear the child whining and sometimes crying due to separation anxiety from their caregiver.
And write it down.
In fact, sound contains a lot.
Breathing, vocalization, resonance, and articulation come together to create 'speech'.


· Children whose lip muscles are not developed produce many vowel sounds.

· Children who have a lot of tongue sounds can distinguish between front and back sounds and know which part of the tongue is used.

(Example: A child who uses a lot of legends: alveolar sounds (ㄷ, ㄴ, ㄹ)
Pronounce “let’s go!” as “ttada” and “strawberry” as “ddaldi, ddalni”

A child who uses a lot of velar sounds: velar sounds (ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ)
“Candy” is pronounced as “ga-gang,” and “butterfly” is pronounced as “ga-biya.”

· Children with poor breathing and vocalization have small voices.
When the elders of old smiled and said, “You have a nice voice,” when a baby cried, they were praising the child’s vocalization.


Second, check if you can 'blow' by putting your lips together, such as with a whistle or soap bubbles.

There is a muscle in the lips called the orbicularis oculi muscle.
This muscle acts to pursate the lips.

If the orbicularis oculi muscle is not developed, it is difficult to pronounce rounded vowels such as 'oh' and 'oo' by pursing the lips.
It also affects the labial sounds that are pronounced by closing and opening the lips, such as 'ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅍ'.
Also, you need to strengthen your abdomen and take long breaths to make it possible.
This will help you determine if your child's breathing is long or short and if they can purse their lips to blow the flute.

Third, please confirm the need for communication using verbal expressions.

When assessing the borderline nature of autism, the important things to consider are name calling, eye contact, and pointing.
Having these three things means having the sociality to express one's opinions.

Among these, the presence or absence of a sound made by oneself when pointing is important.

"iced coffee"
"mom"
"this"

The need to communicate through language means that the child is realizing his or her own need for interaction and expression with the caregiver.
The lack of communication and weakened interaction, which are the most significant characteristics of children with autism, mean that there is an invisible wall created by the child.
