Autism spectrum disorder, what is it?Where is the obstacle?

Mondo Health Updated on 2024-01-29

Autism must be not developing right, there must be some "disorders" in the body, some developmental "disorders", and "disorders" on the autism spectrum, which leads to all kinds of problems in children. But the question arises: what is wrong with these children?What about obstacles?

Spectrum" we can understand, English is called spectrum, which means "spectrum", autism is called spectrum, which means that the various manifestations of autism are like "spectrum", from the perspective of behavioral performance, like a spectrum, distributed to different degrees, and distributed in various ways.

Next, let's take a moment to find out what these children are.

The World Dictionary of Medicine defines autism as: autism is a complexdevelopmental disorder distinguished by difficulties with social interaction,verbal and nonverbal communication, and beh**ioral problems, includingrepetitive beh**iors and narrow focus of interest.

It says that autism is a developmental disorder, which I am afraid no one doubts, and the Ministry of Health of China in 2010 issued the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Autism in Children" also mentioned that it is a developmental problem, and the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the American Autism Research Association (ARI), and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIH) also recognize this statement.

But the NIH deliberately added a definite phrase that became: neurodevelopmental disorder, which means that autism is a problem with the nervous system. Indeed, children with autism have problems such as insufficient neural connections, insufficient brain arousal, abnormal neurotransmitters, and imbalance of trace elements, whether it is the brainstem, basal ganglia, limbic system, or cerebral cortex. It is said that it is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and this view is acceptable to everyone.

From the perspective of functional medicine, immunology, epigenetics, etc., autism does not seem to be simply a problem of the nervous system, or in other words, these problems of the nervous system do not seem to be problems of the nervous system, but also have other causes, such as metabolic problems, digestive problems, and immune problems, which can cause problems in the nervous system.

But what is more troublesome to explain is that the causes of each autistic child are different, so it can only be said that on the surface, autism is a developmental disorder in the neurological aspect, but why does a developmental disorder occur in the nerves?Yes, there are a lot of other things worth looking into behind this question.

In a word: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder, and some also have metabolic, digestive, and immune problems. Of course, only three aspects are mentioned here, in fact, there are many other aspects, after all, there are 1,000 causes of 1,000 autism, which is very complex, and those "non-significant" factors will not be mentioned here. All the factors that can cause neurodevelopmental disorders can be listed, and there are still a lot of research results in the world.

Only by correctly understanding autism, unveiling its mystery, and understanding the truth behind it can we study this problem thoroughly, solve these "hard-working children" in fire and water, and let parents see hope and find a way out. I hope that experts and scholars in this field, as well as parents, will work together to recognize the truth of autism as soon as possible, so that children can see hope one day sooner and return to our normal life, not always wandering on other planets.
