AUTISM CAUSES

GENETICS: When we look at the resources and see the families have autistic relatives or siblings we might say autism has a genetic background. Human DNA contains up to 50.000 genes but still not easy to say how do they work. On the other hand autism is a spectrum and each person is unique so each of them has to deal with different issues. When some autistic people has hyperactivity, sleeping problem, gastrointestinal problem or mental illnesses some others may not have any of it. In that point which gene or genes will we think about if we even we don’t know how they do work? Last studies show many genes up to 20 or more might involved with autism.Every study gives more hope for solving autism.
