What is the cause of Autism Spectrum Disorders?
There is no simple answer to this question. If there was it would be much easier to treat. There is a genetic factor but other factors as well. Some people say a change in diet cured the condition, or at least minimised the symptoms. Others claim that the symptoms started after the child was vaccinated. My daughter’s symptoms become significant when she is stressed. I believe that all of these are relevant. When the body is overloaded, perhaps by eating food it can’t deal with, perhaps by having chemicals injected into the body it reacts and causes autistic type symptoms.

No single cause of Autism Spectrum Disorders has been discovered. It is believed that the difficulties of Autism Spectrum Disorders are biological in origin and that there is abnormality in the brain which is probably caused by a combination of factors. These factors can include genetics, viral infections or complications during pregnancy. Other potential causes such as environmental toxins, diet and the effect of MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccinations are also being investigated.
