Scientists aren’t certain what cause autism, but it’s likely that both genetics and environment play a role. A number of genes associated with the disorder identified by Researchers. Approximately in 15 percent of cases, a specific genetic cause of a person’s autism can be identified. Though, most of the cases involve a “complex & unpredictable combination of genetic risk and environmental factors” that easily influence early brain development. In Studies of people with autism, have found irregularities in several regions of the brain & other studies suggest that people with autism have abnormal levels of “serotonin” or other “neurotransmitters” in the brain. These abnormalities recommend that- “autism could result from the disruption of normal brain development early in fetal development caused by defects in genes that control brain growth and that regulate how neurons communicate with each other”.
While these findings are intriguing, they are preliminary and require further study. The theory that “parental practices” are responsible for autism has now been disproved.
In a research, on a small but growing body recommend that autism risk is less among children whose mothers took “prenatal vitamins” (containing folic acid) in the running months before and after conception.
Slowly but surely, researchers are looking at the role of the immune system in autism. Autism Speaks is working to increase awareness & analysis of these & other issues, where advance research has the importance to get better the lives of those who struggle with autism.
What does it mean to be “On the Spectrum”?
Every character with autism is unique. They have exceptional wondering abilities in visual skills, music & academic skills. Almost about 40 percent have intellectual disability & many have normal to above usual intelligence. In reality, many people on the spectrum take deserved pleasure in their unique abilities & “atypical” ways of viewing the world. Others with autism have significant disability and not capable to live in parallel.
Almost about 25 percent of them with ASD are not verbal but can usually able to learn to communicate using other means. “Autism Speaks” mission is- to improve the lives of all those on the autism spectrum. For a little, this means the development & deliverance of much more effective treatments that can deal with significant challenges in communication & physical health. For others, it means increasing acceptance, respect & support.
