The couple Lee Sang-in is shocked after their eldest son is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder by Oh Eun-young, and attention is focused on Oh Eun-young's diagnosis as their second son also displays unusual behavior.
The couple Lee Sang-in previously revealed on channel A's 'Current Parenting - My Precious Child' (hereinafter 'My Precious Child') that their eldest son has received a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. The eldest Geumjok demonstrated excellent English proficiency but displayed behaviors that could be mistaken for being the youngest.
Suddenly, Geumjok expressed dissatisfaction, saying he was angry, and responded with unanswerable questions. Furthermore, the eldest Geumjok could not adjust to school life and displayed a somewhat distracted demeanor. In addition, during class, he shocked everyone by touching private areas inside his pants.
Oh Eun-young, who observed the child in person, noted, "The hardest part is that there is no dialogue. There is no exchange of conversation. When prompted for a simple answer, there is barely a reaction, but appropriate interaction based on the topic is not occurring. Therefore, in the case of the eldest Geumjok, it appears to be autism spectrum disorder." The wife, who had denied it, shed tears when faced with reality.
Oh Eun-young stated, "Autism spectrum disorder occurs when there is an error in the consolidation of the neural circuits in the brain. It is no one's fault" and added, "The key is to train social skills in any form to apply them in daily life."
She explained, "It cannot be said that there are no difficulties, but efforts can be made from now on. Maintaining a sense of stability in relationships with a small number of people is also important. The structure of daily life for children with interaction difficulties is very important. They feel a sense of comfort in a familiar structure that repeats their daily lives." She advised, "To catch up on developmental deficiencies, they need to visit a treatment center. I hope they can have a good living environment that allows for easy access to treatment before missing the treatment period."
However, unusual behaviors were observed in the second child as well. Additionally, there was a scene where the second child fell after colliding with the mother. Despite the mother's apologies, the child struggled to stop crying and continued to yell loudly. The second child, unable to calm their anger, circled around and shocked the panelists by grabbing the eldest brother's hair.
Moreover, Oh Eun-young analyzed that the mother tends to OOO rather than fully empathizing with the second child's emotions.
Additionally, the second child displayed aggressive behavior towards the eldest and suddenly imitated the behavior of the eldest brother, who has autism spectrum disorder, attracting attention. Repeating the same words or displaying unusual behavior, Oh Eun-young remarked about the second child, "There is a tendency to imitate the eldest child. As they imitate, could they become autistic?" This shocked everyone, and ultimately, Lee Sang-in's wife broke down in tears. The episode will air on the 21st at 8:10 p.m.
