 Age difference between parents increases the risk of autism


Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sevcan Karakoç Demirkaya pointed out that stress, malnutrition and environmental pollution triggered autism. Demirkaya said: “Age difference between parents increases the risk of autism.”


“TURN OFF THE DEVICES”
 
Stating that caring and effective parenting is the most protective measure in autism, Demirkaya said: “Establishing a connection with the children from the mother's womb, providing adequate care after delivery, being in constant interaction and communication while caring for them are the first things to do. Children do not know how to come down to earth and keep it alive nowadays. Please turn off the devices. Hide all the devices such as television, tablet, computer and smart phones from our children for the first 3 years. The advertisement of highchair with tablet holder encourages to the wrong parenting model today. Therefore, prevention and early diagnosis are very important. When you consult a child psychiatrist, s/he will give you the necessary guidance.”
