Eliminating the Source: What Causes Autism
Many parents hope that in finding a source of autism, this disorder can be cured or prevented. Unfortunately, scientists have yet to
find one single reason why children develop autism. It is possible that someday autism will be linked to a specific gene
abnormality, but the more likely source is not one thing, but a number of factors in a child's world. Autism cannot be prevented or
cured, so the best we can do to help autistic children and adults is be understanding and willing to compromise to make the world
comfortable for them and ourselves.
First off, there are certain things that do not cause autism, and these myths should be laid to rest immediately. Most importantly,
bad parenting does not cause autism. In the past, mothers were blamed for traumatizing their children with cold parenting
techniques, which was thought to lead to autism. This is simple not true. Autism is also not caused by malnutrition, although food
allergies occur in my autistic children and some autistic children do benefit from taking daily vitamins.
There are many links between autism and the brain. Most people with autism have larger brains and they are "wired" differently
than a typical brain. Differences occur in many parts of the brain, so it cannot be targeted to one specific brain malfunction overall,
but rather a brain malfunction in general. Autistic children also show signs of an immune deficiency. Evidence in this study is not yet
strong, but research is still being done. Many autistic individuals have other health problems related to immune deficiencies.
Overall, these things all seem to point to genetics. Although autism is not the parents' fault, it is most likely that autism was found
elsewhere on your family tree, and it is not uncommon for par
