Will the Children of Autistic Parents Still Have Autism?
Autism patients do not necessarily have autism when they reproduce. Autism is a relatively serious mental disorder, and most patients will experience symptoms such as varying degrees of social interaction difficulties, language development disorders, narrow interests, and stereotyped behaviors. Autism patients will not socialize with others if they do not engage in social activities, so fertility will not be an issue. However, if autism patients have the desire to reproduce, they also need to undergo corresponding education and treatment. Under the premise of ensuring that it will not affect the child, they can prepare for pregnancy under the guidance of a doctor.
1. Ensuring that it will not affect the child: Autism patients, without interacting with others, will not actively engage in social activities and thus will not affect fertility. Under the condition of not interacting with others, autism patients will maintain their good interpersonal relationships and will not deliberately conceal their unwillingness to socialize, able to maintain their leadership perspective and emotions better.
2. Following the doctor's guidance for pregnancy preparation: Although autism patients have difficulties in social interaction, if they can follow the doctor's instructions for correct social behavior and have the desire for interpersonal communication, they may have normal fertility. It is recommended that autism patients follow the doctor's instructions when preparing for pregnancy to avoid affecting pregnancy due to autism.
3. Undergoing professional treatment: If autism patients have symptoms such as language development disorders, narrow interests, and stereotyped behaviors, they should seek medical attention promptly and undergo psychological intervention therapy, medication, and family therapy under the guidance of a doctor. For example, language development disorders can be treated through special education training and behavioral correction training, while intellectual development disorders can be treated through special education training, rehabilitation training, etc.
4. Others: It is recommended that patients maintain a good mindset when preparing for pregnancy, avoid excessive anxiety and tension, exercise appropriately to improve physical immunity, and cultivate good habits such as early bedtimes, healthy diets, etc., which are conducive to eugenics and childbirth.
