Children are always yelling at home or in public, which can be a sign of autism. Today we will talk about autism. Parents look at it carefully, oh, maybe it will poke your doubts.
One. What exactly is the cause of autism in children?
1. Genetic factors: According to the survey, 20% of clinical autistic patients can be found in their families with lack of intelligence, language development delay and similar autism. It can be seen that the occurrence of this disease is also very much related to genetic factors.
2, viral infection during pregnancy: if women are infected by measles or influenza virus during pregnancy, then the brain development of the fetus in their abdomen will be seriously damaged, so that after the birth of the child, it will lead to the occurrence of autism, and the viral infection during pregnancy is an important cause of autism in the child.
3, metabolic diseases: if the human body suffers from congenital metabolic disorders such as phenylkeuria, then it will cause dysfunction and disorders of brain cells, which will directly affect the transmission of brain nerve information, resulting in the occurrence of autism. Autism patients caused by metabolic diseases are also more common in the clinic.
4. Brain injury: Clinically, if a pregnant woman has preterm birth, dystocia, neonatal brain injury during the process of childbirth, or a child's brain hypoplasia caused by factors such as distress miscarriage during pregnancy, these will cause damage to the child's brain, resulting in autism.
Second, how to determine whether a child has autism in the early stage?
1. Social skills are flawed
Under normal circumstances, babies will laugh from three months old, like to look at faces, start babbling and talking to their parents, autistic children, do not like to look at people, lack of eye contact, turn a deaf ear to their parents' instructions, and make him seem to be unable to hear. Likes to play alone, does not play with children, does not play pretend games. When needed, they will take their parents' hands to a certain place, but they cannot point to things with their fingers.
2. Language development is lagging behind
Language development is the most common reason for medical treatment, children are two years old, 3 years old or even 4 years old, still can not speak, some children have language regression or developmental stagnation after normal language development, a small number of children have language, but lack of communicative language, speak some meaningless language, repeat language or self-talk.
3. Narrow interests and stereotyped behavior
Children with autism are not interested in what most children like, do not play with toys, often put toys in a row, especially attached to something, such as a circular thing that will turn, repeatedly appear a certain behavior or action, such as running back and forth, repeatedly turning in circles, dancing with both hands, repeatedly watching TV commercials or weather forecasts.
Third, what are the misunderstandings about autism?
1. Is autism inherited?
The cause of autism has not yet been clearly defined, and heredity is a very small factor, which is basically negligible. So, please don't point fingers at the parents of autistic children and discriminate against their normal bodies.
2. Is the child suffering from autism because the parents do not care enough?
Autism is not a punishment for parents ignoring their children, most autism has related symptoms before the age of 1 or even after birth, there is no evidence that there is a direct link between the two, and children who lack parental care may develop autism, which only increases this risk.
3. Most of the boys with autism?
The male-to-female ratio of autism is about 4:1, which is data from definitive epidemiological surveys, but suggests that autism may have some specific association with the Y chromosome.
4, autism is genius?
Many examples of false rumors try to show the world that autism is a genius, such as Newton and Einstein have been crowned with the hat of genius due to autism. In fact, autism is never equated with genius, and even if there is a certain aspect of super-long skill, it is a single development, and it does not meet the conditions for becoming a genius: high intelligence, high creativity, and other non-intellectual factors personality factors.
5. Is autism a mental illness?
Behaviors such as non-communication, self-harm, violent impulses, etc. shown by autistic children may seem to be manifestations of psychological problems, but autism is actually a disorder of all-round development of the body and mind. Because it is impossible to communicate with the outside world, it is impossible to express needs in a normal way, and the current treatment is more about controlling emotions and shaping the direction of behavior.
