Autism spectrum disorder has no single known cause. Given
the complexity of the disorder, and the fact that symptoms and severity vary,
there are probably many causes. Both genetics and environment may play a role.
It is known that those on the ASD brains develop differently this
is caused by genes, which means that if someone in your family has autism,
other family members are more likely to also have ASD.
Other factors may increase your chances of having ASD. This may
include the age of your parents. Research is also looking at the role of the
environment in triggering ASD.
Autism is not caused by vaccines, food, your culture or social
surroundings.
Being autistic does not mean
you have an illness or disease. It means your brain works in a different way
from other people. It's something you're born with. Signs of autism might
be noticed when you're very young, or not until you're older.
So many people with that these days Jo-Anne.

DeleteYes, something you are born with. I think mild forms of autism went undiagnosed years ago.
ReplyDeleteI think so too, in fact when I was younger I always associated autism with those who have server autism and didn't know there was different levels of the condition
DeleteUsually a chid will be about two when they avoid eye to eye contact, a first sign among others.
ReplyDeleteIt is a condition were those with mild autism find it difficult to be diagnosed
