Hello whoever is reading this, it is Thursday down under and time for a little more about ASD.
Autism spectrum disorder has no single known cause. Given the complexity of the disorder, and the fact that symptoms and severity vary, there are probably many causes. Both genetics and environment may play a role.
It is known that those on the ASD brains develop differently this is caused by genes, which means that if someone in your family has autism, other family members are more likely to also have ASD.
Other factors may increase your chances of having ASD. This may include the age of your parents. Research is also looking at the role of the environment in triggering ASD.
Autism is not caused by vaccines, food, your culture or social surroundings.
Being autistic does not mean you have an illness or disease. It means your brain works in a different way from other people. It’s something you’re born with. Signs of autism might be noticed when you’re very young, or not until you’re older.

My grandson has autism.
I hope he is coping with his daily life as it can be a struggle
Dearest Jo-Anne,
The environment is always a very strong factor in anything. It influences our life as much as genetics.
A good thing is that more and more is being known about this and that way the people is becoming educated about it.
Hugs,

At least it is rare that those on the ASD are treated in a bad way like once they would have been
Absolutely!
