Abstract

Some children have a complex developmental disorder that can also be called autism. Developmental disorders in autism can include language and speech (communication) disorders, behavioral disorders, namely children tend to live in their own world or tend to ignore the surrounding environment and social interaction disorders, namely the unwillingness to interact with other people. Signs and symptoms of a child with autism can be seen before the child is 3 years old. Another problem for children with autism is the difficulty in carrying out activities independently. Treatment as early as possible can reduce the severity of autism. Autism can be detected early when children have not reached the age of 3 years. Therefore, it is very important for the community, especially families, to pay attention to the growth and development of their children before the age of 3. However, there are still many people who do not know about autism and the signs and symptoms of autism. So that there are still many people who make the word autism a joke that is not quite right and can hurt parents who have children with autism. This study is to provide technology to self-measuring for nutrition’s status and early detection of autism to Intergrated Service Post (Posyandu) volunteer in Ciseeng District, Bogor Regency. The purpose of this study is to increase the knowledge of Posyandu volunteer about the signs of autism and to be able to carry out early detection using technology and to take appropriate actions by asking for the help of health professionals. In addition, it can attract residents who have children with autism from low-income family so that stakeholders can immediately assist them.
