Researchers havent found a single cause of autism. Its likely a combination of genetics and certain things related to pregnancy, labor and delivery (what you might see referred to as environmental factors or prenatal events). These factors all interact to lead to the brain differences we see in autism.
Autism has the highest estimated heritability (90%) among behaviorally defined neuropsychiatric disorders. Rapidly advancing genomic technologies and large international collaborations have increased our understanding of the molecular genetic causes of autism.
The Autism Spectrum Screening Questionnaire (ASSQ) is a 27-item parent- or teacher-rated screening tool designed to identify young people between 6 and 17 years of age who show developmental differences in social and behavioural functioning consistent with Autism (Ehlers et al., 1993, 1999).
Exposure to environmental toxins such as pesticides, consumption of certain drugs during pregnancy (antiepileptics and antidepressants), certain maternal infections during pregnancy and alcohol consumption in pregnancy may be other reasons why we have greater incidences of babies born with autism.
Signs of autism at any age Persistent repetition of words or phrases (echolalia) Resistance to minor changes in routine or surroundings. Restricted interests. Repetitive behaviors (flapping, rocking, spinning, etc.) Unusual and intense reactions to sounds, smells, tastes, textures, lights and/or colors.
