1, list of causes of autism
1, genetic factors:
Some children are related to genetic factors, and the role of genetic factors in loneliness is very clear. 2%-6% of children with this disease suffer from this disease, and the comorbidity rate of monozygotic twins is as high as 36%.
2. Environmental factors:
In the early years, the living environment was not rich and appropriate, and social behavior was not taught.
Or children who have been in a monotonous environment for a long time will come to self-stimulation with repetitive actions and are not interested in the external environment.
3. Family factors:
Parents are professional and technical personnel, highly educated and intelligent, but rigid and compulsive, indifferent and stubborn to their children, and lack of warmth in their families.
4, brain organic injury:
Such as birth injury, intrauterine asphyxia, infection and poisoning. 15%-50% of children are accompanied by non-specific changes such as seizures, abnormal EEG, brain CT and magnetic resonance.
Some of them are accompanied by nervous system signs and physical deformities. Congenital rubella virus infection and cytomegalovirus infection may be related to the onset of autism.
These are some of the causes of autism introduced by Bian Xiao, so what are the good ways to prevent it? Learn to understand.
2. How to prevent autism?
1. Lack of communication and care is the root of autistic children. Parents should actively create opportunities to communicate with their children. Ensure that you have a fixed time to communicate with your child alone every day.
Parents can choose to talk to their children after meals and before going to bed. The time should be controlled within 15 to 20 minutes, because the child's attention is most concentrated during this time. The content of the conversation should focus on the topics that children like.
Usually choose some books that can stimulate children's desire to communicate and cultivate good communication skills for parent-child reading. You can also choose parent-child games in a targeted manner to awaken children's desire for communication.
Second, the inconsistency between parents, elders and family education methods is the catalyst of autism, and the unification of internal and external education concepts is very important.
Inconsistent education methods are: grandparents dote on their children and think that timidity and introversion are the performance of personality, which will naturally get better when they grow up; Parents are strict and take all means to interfere with their children's behavior.
Doing so will not only make the problem unsolved, but also make it more serious. At this time, what parents should do is to observe their children from multiple angles, make corresponding comparisons with children of the same age, objectively evaluate their children, find differences and reflect on their parenting methods.
Learn more from your child's teacher and listen to the teacher's advice.
Third, inferiority complex is a powerful killer of autistic children, and parents should help their children build self-confidence quality. Autistic children are often inferior to others in many aspects, so a praise and encouragement is of great significance to an autistic child.
Successful experience is not an easy thing for autistic children, so parents should lower their standards, create opportunities for him to succeed, and strive to tap and amplify his advantages.
For example, when children eat by themselves, even if they eat rice all over the floor, they must say, "You can eat by yourself. It's amazing!" As long as the behavior is positive, we will give verbal affirmation and encouragement in time.
Fourth, the lack of communication skills is the biggest obstacle for autistic children, so we should actively create communication space for children. Autistic children like to hide in the corner, unwilling to communicate with others, or lack communication skills.
Parents should create every opportunity for their children to get in touch with people around them, broaden their horizons and enrich their experiences. Take the children to the park to play or attend the party of children of the same age on holidays.
Conditional families can also keep some small animals at home, so that children can reduce their fear of communication and improve their communication skills in the process of raising animals.
Relax, calm down, get rid of negative thoughts, and actively try the above methods to help children get out of the closed and narrow space and move towards the broad world.
Summary: Autism is not terrible. The terrible thing is that you won't prevent it, and you won't care. Caring for children is not only superficial work, but also physical and mental care for children!
3. Symptoms of autism
1, social skills are seriously insufficient.
Unlike being withdrawn and quiet, people with autism are born with a lack of normal social skills. Although they can talk, they can't communicate with others normally. Children can't recognize people, have little difference between relatives and strangers, and won't take the initiative to participate in group activities.
2, can't talk normally
Autistic people can't look straight into the eyes of the communicators, like to repeat what the other person said and don't understand the meaning of the dialogue, so they show irrelevant answers to other people's questions. Some autistic people are still practicing how to say hello when they are 30 years old.
3, can't express
Autistic people can't express their emotions and feelings with expressions and body language, and can't understand the meaning beyond the literal meaning.
4. Hobbies are stubborn and narrow-minded.
They like to do repetitive and single activities, such as tossing coins all the time and arranging toy characters in a row in a specific order. They don't find these activities interesting, but just keep repeating them.
5. Be gifted in a certain aspect.
Autistic people show great talent in some aspects, such as remembering very complicated numbers, solving difficult math problems, or being familiar with art and music, but in fact they don't understand the meaning.
6. Abnormal reaction to the outside world
People with autism often turn a blind eye to the outside world, listen but not hear, and live in their own world;
Some patients with autism show mental retardation in different degrees, such as fear, hyperactivity or inactivity, mood swings, crying, sleep disorders and so on.
7. Skills
The sooner children with autism are found and treated, the easier it is to be cured. If you find that your child is prone to self-illness, you should seek treatment from neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, pediatric behavioral experts and neurologists in time.
