What causes autism?

Autism is a mental illness, and now there are more and more children with autism, so we should pay attention to the cause. Autism may be caused by metabolic disorders resulting in brain cell dysfunction, and the living environment may also affect it.

1. Metabolic diseases. Pediatric experts point out that certain congenital metabolic disorders can cause dysfunction and disorders of brain cells, which may affect the transmission function of brain nerve information and lead to the occurrence of autism.

2. Living environment factors. Children are in the period of growth and development and are more sensitive to the living environment. Living in a monotonous environment for a long time without relevant knowledge and education will lead to loss of interest in other things in the outside world, which may also lead to autism.

3. Family genetic factors. According to survey data, among 20% ​​of children with autism, their families can be found to have mental retardation, language barriers and other symptoms similar to autism. In addition, about 10% of autistic boys have chromosomal fragility, so autism has certain genetic factors.

4. This is an introduction to the causes of autism. I hope it will be helpful to all parents. A special reminder to all parents and friends: if autism is not treated in time, children will always live in their own little world, unable to interact with the outside world. In severe cases, they may hurt themselves or others, which will affect their happiness throughout their lives. Parents must pay attention to this. Once they find that their children have autism, they should take them to a regular professional hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best treatment period and posing hidden dangers to their children's future.
