Objective To explore the influencing factors related to abnormal behaviors in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and provide a reference for the treatment and intervention of children with ASD. Methods Retrospectively, 102 children with ASD aged 3-6 years who attended the pediatric health care department of a tertiary hospital in Urumqi from March 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the case group, and 110 children with outpatient health checkups were selected as the control group during the same period, and the correlation between the influencing factors such as child gender, maternal mood during pregnancy, high-risk conditions during pregnancy, parental relationship, feeding style, and family parenting style and the occurrence of abnormal behaviors in children with ASD was analyzed using a multi-factor logistic regression model. Results A comparative analysis of factors related to the family situation of the children and the mothers pregnancy in the two groups revealed that the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) when comparing factors such as parental relationship, daily caregiver of the child, family history of mental illness, family parenting style, family economy, gender, history of neonatal jaundice, maternal emotional changes during pregnancy, presence of high-risk conditions during pregnancy, and postnatal feeding style; multi-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that male children (OR=3.075, P=0.037), history of neonatal jaundice (OR=2.580, P=0.003), maternal emotional anxiety and depression during pregnancy (OR=1.926, P=0.001), and poorer family economic status (OR=2.398, P=0.023) were associated with the development of ASD in children Harmony between parents (OR=0.648, P=0.048) and good family parenting (OR=0.485, P=0.022) were risk factors for the development of ASD in children. Conclusion Children with ASD are affected by many factors. The sex of the child (male), history of neonatal jaundice, maternal anxiety and depression during pregnancy and poor family economic status are risk factors associated with the development of ASD in children, and parental harmony and good family upbringing are protective factors against the development of ASD in children.
