Does anyone know the cause of autism? How do I prevent my soon to be born daughter have autism?
I I am currently pregnant and wonder if there is anything I can do to prevent autism? Is it true that some vaccines may cause autism? Thank you
There is no single known cause for autism, but it is generally accepted by the community Medical it is caused by abnormalities in brain structure or function. Brain tests show differences in shape and structure of the brain children with autism compared to non-autistic. Researchers are studying a number of theories, including the link between heredity, genetics and medical problems. Although no single gene has been identified as causing autism, in many families, it seems to be a model autism or related disabilities, further supporting a genetic basis for disease. Researchers are searching for irregular segments of genetic code that children with autism may have inherited. It also appears that some children are born with a greater susceptibility to autism, but researchers have not yet identified a single "trigger" that causes autism to develop. Researchers are also studying the possibility that under certain conditions, a group of unstable genes may interfere with brain development resulting in autism. Other researchers investigating problems during pregnancy or childbirth, as well as environmental factors such as viral infections, metabolic imbalances, and exposure to chemicals in the environment. Autism tends to occur more frequently than phenylketonuria in people have certain medical conditions, including fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, congenital rubella syndrome, and untreated (PKU). Some substances harmful ingested during pregnancy were also associated with an increased risk of autism. In early 2002, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) prepared a review of hazardous chemical exposures and autism and found no convincing evidence of Association. However, there was very little research and more must be done to eliminate the chemicals. The question about a link between vaccines and autism continues to be debated. In 2001, an investigation by a committee of the Institute of Medicine concluded that evidence "favors rejection of a relationship cause and effect …. between MMR vaccines and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). "The Committee has acknowledged that" they could not exclude "the possibility that MMR vaccine could contribute to ASD in a small number of children. While other researchers agree that the data do not link between MMR and autism, they also agree more research is clearly needed. Whatever the cause, it is clear that children with autism and PDD are born with the disease or who are born with the potential to grow. bad parents are the cause. This is not a mental illness. The children are autistic not unruly children who choose not to behave. In addition, no known psychological factors in the development of a child have been shown to cause autism.
