Autism, also known as孤独症, its cause is not yet clear and may be related to genetic factors, immune system abnormalities, neurotransmitter abnormalities, and abnormal brain function development, which often occurs in children. It is recommended that parents promptly take autistic children to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of doctors.
1. Genetic factors: If parents have autism, they may pass it on to their children through genes, causing children to also have autism;
2. Immune system abnormalities: The immune system of autistic children may be abnormal, producing antibodies that attack normal tissues in the body, leading to imbalance in immune system regulation and inability to recognize external antigens, which may result in autism;
3. Neurotransmitter abnormalities: Neurotransmitters in the brains of autistic children may be abnormal, such as 5-hydroxytryptamine neurotransmitters and γ-aminobutyric acid inhibitory systems. If these neurotransmitters are abnormal, they may also lead to autism;
4. Abnormal brain function development: If a child's brain development is abnormal, resulting in increased gyri or widened sulci, leading to weakened integration function, autism may also occur.
If a child has autism, timely education and training are needed to help them establish interpersonal relationships, learn to speak, communicate, etc. In addition, parents can follow the doctor's instructions to give children medication such as risperidone, combined with psychological therapy, which can effectively improve the child's symptoms. Parents need to spend more time with children in daily life, communicate with them more often, which helps to improve their interpersonal skills.
