Children are little adults, only without boundaries and conventions, so sometimes they can ask SOAAAAAAAA! How to answer the questions of little why?
Dad, why do you and I pee in front, and mom and Olya - behind?
And where are the heels of winter?
How do crocodiles poop and where is their bottom?
Who pours milk into sissy?
Where was I when I wasn't there yet?
If he asks for tampons, say: They are hygienic. They absorb the blood that flows from the uterus during menstruation. Mark: I'm telling you this because you will probably get your period. Tell me how much bleeding occurs and how you do it. To explain why menstruation occurs, you can look at the manual. Tell your daughter what to do. If she goes to school, let her go to the nurse for a tissue.
Show where the necessary hygiene measures are located. Ask: "What are you so interested in?" You will find out what answer the child considers. Just to clarify: Sex comes when a man and a woman love. They lie close to each other, they embrace, they fit together like two riddles. Sexy kids are sometimes associated with something violent. Emphasize: “If people love each other, then such rapprochement is pleasant for them.” Emphasize that it has to do with love. Treat this topic like any other.
Was this chicken killed? (asks during lunch, there is chicken on the plate).
The question of putting on panties - I draw the attention of my daughter, so as not to confuse where the back is, and where is the front, just look where more, the ass lives there, the daughter, seeing her mother's bridle panties, in which, on the contrary, asks, why do you dress the other way around?
And how is the goat in a scientific way?
But if you're uncomfortable, admit it. Patiently tell them, always the truth. Speak short sentences without too much detail. If your child lacks information, you will definitely find out. Find out also what is the science of sex in school. You can use this as a hint or excuse to talk. Autism and other autism spectrum disorders are different, individual development. Symptoms of the behavior of people on the spectrum are associated with three key areas: communication, social relationships, interests and entertainment - in the case of children.
Dad's wife, is that you?
Do robots fart?
Dad, who put thorns on your neck?

Who is this and why does this aunt live in the lungs? (after watching an advertisement for cough syrup, where sputum is in the form of an aunt-snot)
How to answer why questions? Psychologist Alena GUMENNYKH tells:
This question is most often asked by parents of children who are concerned about their specific behavior. It also happens that they are asked by adults who are concerned about their functioning in society. A special development assessment needs to be carried out, focusing on early childhood. To do this, we conduct interviews and developmental observations - in the case of children, preferably in the natural environment. The diagnosis should always be confirmed by a doctor who specializes in autism spectrum disorders.
First of all, it is important to note that developmental differences can be observed in very young children - even before the first year of life! Note that. The child does not follow the eyes of another person, the child does not look where the adult shows that the child does not observe the person or is less interested in objects that the child does not show other things that the child is interested in, does not praise or does it very rarely, the child does not encourage others to participate in the games it hosts. In older children we can observe.
Have you waited a long time for the baby to turn from a silent person into a talker? Get it! Now, how you will answer the baby's questions (and whether you will do it at all) depends not only on the future level of intelligence of the little man, but also on his cognitive activity. Any word, any event causes sincere curiosity, the kid fixes it and captures it in his memory. A child at this age "draws" information into himself, like a vacuum cleaner, nothing escapes his field of vision and ... small ears.
Difficult to play "play" with the problem of participating in games with rules that limit contact with peers difficulties, to identify the needs and emotions of people with difficulty understanding that people they think differently than a child. It is important to emphasize that all that worries parents - meeting with a specialist - is the only way to get fair knowledge about the child. Searching the Internet for answers can delay what is good for your child and the environment.
How does a person with autism behave?
There is no one typical way to keep people with autism. Examples are harmful and lead to stereotyping of people on the spectrum. Everyone is different and can behave differently. Much depends on the specifics of development, the environment in which the individual is raised, and his/her own developmental disability.
We found out that it is necessary to answer children's questions. Now let's talk about how to do it right.
AN ADULTS SHOULD BE A KNOWLEDGE
The erudition of parents should not cause doubts in the boy. It’s not worth it, of course, immediately after the celebration of the third anniversary, sons or daughters headlong into the study of multi-volume encyclopedias, but it’s also undesirable for mommy and daddy to get into a mess. Mom and dad have to "keep up the image" of know-it-alls. Even if the “why” asks a completely ridiculous question right on the forehead, you need to “get out” and give an intelligible answer. For example, to the question “Why does my uncle have a red beard?” don’t answer that “Well, this is just such an uncle,” but explain that people have different colors of hair - “Your hair is light, your mother’s is dark, and this uncle’s is red, that’s why his beard is bright.”
We do not define "types" of autism. At this time, the world is using the term autism spectrum, which shows that it is difficult to divide people into some predefined categories. In clinical diagnosis, we highlight several distinct syndromes of symptoms, such as childhood autism and Asperger's syndrome. However, you should always look at the person on the autism spectrum as an individual.
This is a genetically determined autism spectrum disorder that generally affects girls. In its course, we always have a severe disability, although not all children are intellectually disabled. They are characterized by often very severe motor problems, and many of them go through a period of loss of many skills. Rett syndrome is often accompanied by epilepsy. In order to effectively support the development of people with Rett syndrome, it is necessary, first of all, to enable them to communicate - despite the absence or serious delay in the development of speech.
DON'T SPEAK IN MYSTERIES
Knowledge passed on to children should be presented in an accessible form. We should not answer the question “Why does the current bite?” riddles like: “The main carrier of electric charges, bending around the circuit, arrives at point C ...” Say that the current is “protected”, it is unpleasant for him when he is touched, and anyone who touches him, he beats painfully. You can also say this: “The current can hurt us as much as fire. Look how strong the current is - it can even heat up a TV or an electric stove. Therefore, they hid it in the wires so that we would not accidentally burn ourselves.
For this purpose, we use various non-verbal language tools. The autism spectrum is a pattern of development that is different from the most common in the human population. It differs from the typical perception of the world and thinking about the environment, where inanimate phenomena seem more important than people. Autism cannot be cured because it is not a disease. It is important to learn to live with it. As people with different developmental differences, people on the spectrum face a variety of challenges and it is worth giving them the tools to deal with them.
Do vaccines cause autism?
It is impossible for a person with autism to "make" a neurotic. However, they can be supported by their development and prevent secondary consequences such as intellectual disability or severe emotional disturbance. The autopsy theory has long been overthrown. The doctor who initiated the anti-vaccination hysteria, claiming that autism was caused by vaccination, was disqualified from practicing the profession. Unfortunately, there are still many people duplicating this devastating view, profiting significantly from the horror of parents, driving them to great expense, claiming that children are on the “vaccine detox” spectrum.
STRIVE FOR DIALOGUE
A child who distracts his mother from his favorite series, and his father from a book, as a rule, receives a strange answer to a question like: “Uh-huh” or “Hmmm.” This form of communication really angers children. Not only do you not give the child needs information, you also show disrespect for his personality.
Maybe we should digress for a moment and ask a counter question why, so that he learns to reason and independently generalize the information he has. For example, the baby is interested in: “Why is the water pouring?”. The first thing that comes to an adult's head is: "Because it's liquid." The answer is correct, but it would be better not only to generalize an indisputable fact, but also to continue the conversation, to explain to the child that objects can be liquid and solid - “Does milk look like water? Is the pencil the same as water, or not? And what kind of candy? etc. By the way, such questions can become indispensable assistants in the development of the thinking of the baby. The answers to them can be turned into a game. For example: "Let's play. I will name the objects, and you will say what it is (hard - soft, transparent - opaque, edible - inedible, etc.).
Is autism a disability?
It is worth adding that a doctor may decide to delay or postpone vaccination if the medical reasons for doing so are: allergies, prematurity, severe health burden. Autism itself is not a disability. However, it is often found in people with disabilities. Autism can also be a cause of disability. Difficulties in social learning based on relationships with other people are a major cause of secondary intellectual disability in people on the spectrum. This should be countered, not through intensive education, but by supporting the development of features that will allow them to spontaneously learn from other people.
Each answer to a toddler's question is a stimulus for the development of his curiosity. And if you act according to the scheme - once you asked - they didn’t answer, two asked - they brushed it off, then the third time the baby won’t even want to ask. Curiosity subsides if it is not stimulated. As a result - poor study, lack of initiative and indifference, lack of desire to achieve something. Therefore, dear mothers and fathers, do not ignore children's questions, answering them, you help the baby grow up.
In addition, people with autism are at risk of serious emotional and mental disorders. Depression, obsessive-compulsive and anxiety disorders. You cannot understand this, you need to keep people on the spectrum to avoid these serious consequences. Many people with autism live in a way that is not associated with a disability. Much depends on the immediate environment - if we respect and accept difference, we don't give a person the feeling of being disabled, just because it's different - we give him a chance for a happy and fulfilling life.

How to Diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorders
A diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder should always be made by a team of psychologists, educators, physicians and, optionally, a speech therapist. It should always include the following actions.Developmental interview, reaching the first days of life of the examined person, as well as diagnostic diagnosis of the pregnant woman's diagnosis, meeting with the team to discuss the diagnosis of the written test report. We do not agree that everything should be done to make a person on the spectrum "adjust" to society. Help her overcome her difficulties, but with respect for the dignity and individuality of each. Taking into account personal predispositions and possibilities. Therapy for a person with autism must be voluntary.

If the child is unable to assess the situation and thus respond to therapeutic suggestions, the therapist's role should be to support the family and guide them on how to create a therapeutic educational environment. Interaction - both in the family and in the office - should be aimed at developing cognitive functions that allow people to better understand themselves and other people and provide comfort due to the specific sensory needs of a person on the spectrum. There are no "healing" diets for autism.
If a child with autism has problems with food intolerance, you should be under the care of a doctor. Allergist, gastroenterologist, pediatrician can help. Only they have real knowledge of the child's needs in this area and can make a diagnosis and indicate dietary needs. On the other hand, any comment about the need for an autism induction diet should be inserted between the cartoons. They are a destructive myth designed to force desperate parents to use unnecessary services.

It should be emphasized that people on the spectrum, due to communication problems, may have difficulty asking for help or expressing their physical suffering. Therefore, they must be under special medical supervision. Way to express their feelings can be many people with a very ordinary spectrum. At the same time, the elimination of the cause of suffering does not “cure autism”, but improves the comfort of life. However - a child, a person - still cannot do what he could not before - ask for help and support in a situation of suffering.
In medical cases, the diet can eliminate, for example, abdominal pain. However, no diet will reduce toothache. If a person on the spectrum cannot identify the source of their suffering and cannot communicate it to other people, no amount of diet will help.

Below you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions. If you do not answer any of your questions here, we encourage you to do so via the Ask Us form or directly in an interview with a lab worker. Research is a fun activity prepared by a researcher. The child sits in front of the researcher, who offers him different kinds activities or presents various "puzzles". The researcher uses boxes, dolls, toy cars, and other attractive children's items.
We want to see how the child responds to these suggestions and how they communicate with the researcher. Some tasks are done in attractive short computer games. Have similar experiments been carried out somewhere? Research involving young children is being conducted at many universities around the world. You can find their addresses in the "Links" section. On these pages you can also see examples of play experiments with children. In addition, in the Publications tab, you can find several articles by our team that describe the findings of this type of research.
