Do you know whether autism is congenital or acquired?

Clinically, autistic patients are generally male children, and the disease usually occurs in infancy and childhood. Children with autism will show varying degrees of speech development disorders, communication disorders, etc. This has a huge impact on children. Parents are worried and at a loss. How much do you know about whether autism is congenital or acquired?

1. Maybe it’s natural

In fact, autism may be congenital and is caused by the physiological factors of the child. Although some researchers have previously suggested that autism is related to parental indifference toward their children, this is now confirmed to be a false statement. Studies have shown that most brothers and sisters of children with autism have a very high chance of developing autism, so autism is a disease that has certain genetic factors, but the specific mode of inheritance is still not very clear.

2. Organic factors

Generally speaking, one quarter of autistic children suffer from autism, which mostly occurs in adolescence. The likelihood of onset is also closely related to the degree of mental retardation. Through biochemical research, we know that autistic children have abnormal brain biochemical functions, and some neurophysiology researchers have also stated that some autistic children have abnormal brain waves. Therefore, it can be confirmed that autism is also related to some diseases.

From the above we can understand the answer to the question: Is autism in children congenital? Although autistic children still have some defects, their hearts are indeed very pure. Therefore, parents must pay more attention to autistic children and be more patient when interacting with them.
