Eliminating the Source: What Causes
Autism
Many parents hope that in finding a source of autism, this
disorder can be cured or prevented. Unfortunately, scientists
have yet to find one single reason why children develop autism.
It is possible that someday autism will be linked to a specific
gene abnormality, but the more likely source is not one thing,
but a number of factors in a child's world. Autism cannot be
prevented or cured, so the best we can do to help autistic
children and adults is be understanding and willing to
compromise to make the world comfortable for them and
ourselves.
First off, there are certain things that do not cause
autism, and these myths should be laid to rest immediately.
Most importantly, bad parenting does not cause autism. In the
past, mothers were blamed for traumatizing their children with
cold parenting techniques, which was thought to lead to autism.
This is simple not true. Autism is also not caused by
malnutrition, although food allergies occur in my autistic
children and some autistic children do benefit from taking
daily vitamins. There are many links between autism and the
brain. Most people with autism have larger brains and they are
"wired" differently than a typical brain. Differences occur in
many parts of the brain, so it cannot be targeted to one
specific brain malfunction overall, but rather a brain
malfunction in general. Autistic children also show signs of an
immune deficiency. Evidence in this study is not yet strong,
but research is still being done. Many autistic individuals
have other health problems related to immune deficiencies.
Overall, these things all seem to point to genetics. Although
autism is not the parents' fault, it is most likely that autism
was found elsewhere on your family tree, and it is not uncommon
for parents to raise more than one autistic child. Autism may
also be linked to vaccinations, although this is still being
highly studied. The benefits of vaccinations greatly outweigh
the risks of them causing autism, so you should not deprive
your child simply because you are fearful. Talk to you doctor
if you have concerns about vaccinations.
Nobody knows what causes autism. Therefore, we can do
nothing to prevent and cure it, but rather we can simply treat
the autistic people in our lives with the best of our ability.
Becoming educated in autism is the key-the more you know about
the disorder, the better you can help individuals who suffer
from it. Autism is a complex problem, and as researchers
develop new understandings of the way it affects the body,
better treatment options will become available, with the hope
that someday we will be able to cure this disease.
