Causes of eating difficulties in autistic children
● I. six major causes of autism:
1. Perinatal factors
The perinatal complications, such as birth injury and intrauterine asphyxia, were more common than those in the normal control group.
2. Family factors
The parents are professional technicians, highly educated and smart, but they are rigid and tend to force, indifferent and stubborn to their children, lack of warmth in the family, etc.
3. Genetic factors
The role of this factor on autism has become clear. Some children are related to genetic factors. 2% to 6% of the children with this disease suffer from this disease, and the same disease rate of monozygotic twins is as high as 36%.
4. Environmental factors
In the early years, the living environment was lack of rich and appropriate stimulation, and social behavior was not taught. Or children who have been in a monotonous environment for a long time will use repeated actions to stimulate themselves and have no interest in the external environment.
5. Brain organic damage
15% to 50% of children with autism have non-specific changes in epilepsy, abnormal EEG, brain CT and magnetic resonance. Some are accompanied by nervous system signs, somatic malformations, etc. Congenital rubella virus infection and cytomegalovirus infection may be related to the pathogenesis of autism.
6. Immune system abnormalities and neuroendocrine and neurotransmitter disorders
Such autistic patients found that the number of T lymphocytes decreased, the number of helper T cells and B cells decreased, inhibition induced T cell deficiency, natural killer cell activity decreased, etc. in addition, the disease is related to a variety of neuroendocrine and neurotransmitter dysfunction. The study found that the monoamine system of autistic patients, such as the immature development of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and catecholamine, and the abnormality of pineal hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis, led to the increase of 5-HT and endorphin and the decrease of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).

● II. How to prevent autism
1. Cultivate children's independence
To cultivate children's self-reliance, parents should never do everything. Let children learn to do their own things, and deliberately let children hit a nail and taste the pain, so as to temper their willpower.
2. Increase fresh stimulation
Every sound and color is a temptation for children. Their senses and eyes need the stimulation of new things. Parents should often take their children out to integrate them into nature and broaden their mind.
3. Cultivate interest
Parents should guide their children to develop various interests, such as listening to stories, playing games, drawing, singing and dancing. Parents should try to participate in them, which can not only develop their children's mind, but also strengthen the emotional communication between parents and children.
4. Set an example
Parents themselves should be firm and confident, and must not be depressed or complain, because parents are the embodiment of strength and wisdom in the eyes of children. When children are timid and disappointed, parents should help them in time to build confidence, overcome difficulties and guide their children.
5. Create a happy family atmosphere
The living environment in early childhood plays an important role in the formation and development of personality. The intimacy and harmony between parents will make children feel warm and happy. On the contrary, parents' discord and quarrel will make children have psychological pressure, which will affect their physical and mental health over time. 6. Cultivate children's emotional intelligence
EQ is the comprehensive ability of social adaptation. It is not enough for children to have good academic performance. They must also know how to accept others and let people accept themselves. This is also the basic meaning of love. While cultivating children's good morality, they should be taught to form good temperament and emotion.
7. Let children make more children
For children, making friends is a happy and comfortable thing, which can connect feelings, increase knowledge, and improve adaptability and activity ability. In addition, children have similar thoughts and hobbies, and there is a natural attraction between them. Getting along in groups is conducive to physical and mental health and avoiding loneliness.
Once autism is formed, many of them are congenital and fixed. Although there are a few cases of misdiagnosis in infancy and children return to normal when they grow up, once autism is really formed, parents must not be careless. They need to change their ideas as soon as possible and choose appropriate rehabilitation institutions for early and effective intervention, so as to create a natural and family integration environment for children. Parents' company is the most important and first, In this way, we can avoid the secondary harm to autistic children, let them learn to take care of themselves to the greatest extent, and restore the normal living state.

● why do autistic children generally have eating problems?
01
It is caused by physiological reasons of insensitivity to taste and smell or psychological reasons of special perception
Many autistic children are reluctant to eat certain foods. Parents always naturally think that it's just because children don't like to eat, but they don't know that most autistic children's preferences for food come from smell.
When they are not familiar with it, they may reject it.
In proprioception, there will be the phenomenon of super intrinsic sense of the senses, and there will also be the phenomenon of insensitivity to taste and smell.
02
Caused by weak environmental adaptability and lack of sense of security
Autistic children have slow perception of the environment, poor adaptability and low sense of security. The same vegetables are accepted in the family environment, but rejected in school because they have different tastes and different tableware.
Autistic children may also list certain foods as disliked or even dangerous because of an unpleasant or harmful dietary experience.
03
Caused by rigid and single behavior and resistance to accepting new things
Autistic children have extreme selectivity for food, which is their resistance to food in new environment and new forms, and the embodiment of stereotyped behavior.
They have an unusually persistent preference for the type, nature and texture of some things, so they are extremely resistant to others.
04
Caused by abnormal interests and hobbies
Autistic children tend to have extreme hobbies for diet. Love is great love, do not know moderation; If you hate it, you will reject it and avoid it.
If a child has a different smell, he can't accept it all; If he hates a shape, he will reject any food with this shape.
05
Caused by food allergy
Some autistic children are also accompanied by allergies and hyperactivity.
