How is childhood autism formed?

Patient's question:

My son came back and told me that there was a child in his class who said he had autism. Then he told my son that his parents were often not at home and that no one took care of him at home. He was often alone at home. I didn't quite believe it, so I came to ask how autism is formed.

Doctor's answer:

The etiology of childhood autism is very complex. It may be that the child's personality is relatively introverted. If they do not communicate with others for a long time, it is very easy to develop autism. It could also be that parents do not spend time with their children, which may lead to a more solitary personality and a lack of issues to express. All of these reasons can lead to childhood autism. Once this phenomenon occurs, the family must pay close attention to companionship, communicate more with the child, and allow the child to interact with people.
