Causes Causes. There is no known single cause for autism spectrum disorder, but it is generally accepted that it is caused by abnormalities in brain structure or function. Brain scans show differences in the shape and structure of the brain in children with autism compared to in neurotypical children.

Autism: Causes Due to the lack of consensus about what causes Autism, there is not yet any widely accepted medical treatment for Autism (although growing evidence for some bio-medical approaches, see Autism Treatment). However, there are other ways to help children with Autism that are effective - see Autism Treatment.

Facts About ASD Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that is caused by differences in how the brain functions. People with ASD may communicate, interact, behave, and learn in different ways.

- The concern about vaccines and the possible relationship to autism began in 1998 when a British physician named Andrew Wakefield published a paper in the journal, Lancet; in which he hypothesized that the Measles Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine was the cause of autism in 12 patients he studied.

I Know What Causes Autism But on the other hand, it sort of is an epidemic. Other families are going to have babies and maybe they would like to have some idea of how to prevent this tricky spectrum disorder from striking. My own children will have their children, and if autism is indeed caused by automotive exhaust, it would be good to know so we could all buy electric cars.

How Many African-American Boys Have Autism as a Result of the CDCâs Lies? • The CDC has released a statement in which they do not deny the increased risk of autism for African-American males vaccinated with the first MMR prior to 36 months of age.ccording to the website, stats.org, “A small increase in risk in a large population can result in many deaths” – or in this case, many more cases of autism. [8]. But, we aren’t talking about a small increase. We’re taking about a 236% increase for African-American males.

Autism: Causes Autism: Causes. To date, there is no accepted single cause of Autism although there are numerous theories. It is becoming apparent that 1) ASD is most probably caused by multiple factors interacting in complex ways (i.e. genes, environment and brain) and 2) that ASD is not etiologically homogeneous.

Vaccines Cause Autism Technology, with its easy access to large amounts of informa­tion, has further perpetuated the myth that vaccines cause autism. There are many online forums and websites designed for parents of autistic children, some of which foster the spread and the prevalence of misunderstood theories and ideas about autism.

Autism Prevalence Autism Prevalence. On March 27, 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new data on the prevalence of autism in the United States. This surveillance study identified 1 in 68 children (1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls) as having autism spectrum disorder (ASD). See complete coverage below. Related News and Information

What causes autism? The following information is not meant to prevent, diagnose or treat autism and should not take the place of personal consultation, as appropriate, with a qualified healthcare professional. One of the most common questions asked after a diagnosis of autism, is what caused the disorder. We know that there’s no one cause of autism. Research suggests that autism develops from a combination of genetic and nongenetic, or environmental, influences. These influences appear to increase the risk that a child will develop autism. However, it’s important to keep in mind that increased risk is not the same as cause. For example, some gene changes associated with autism can also be found in people who don’t have the disorder. Similarly, not everyone exposed to an environmental risk factor for autism will develop the disorder. In fact, most will not.

New Study Implicates Environmental Factors in Autism New Study Implicates Environmental Factors in Autism. A new study of twins suggests that environmental factors, including conditions in the womb, may be at least as important as genes in causing autism. The researchers did not say which environmental influences might be at work. But other experts said the new study, released online on Monday, marked an important shift in thinking about the causes of autism, which is now thought to affect at least 1 percent of the population in the developed world.

Autism rates soar, now affects 1 in 68 children Autism rates soar, now affects 1 in 68 children. Autism rates climbed nearly 30% between 2008 and 2010 and have more than doubled since the turn of the century, according to a new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The condition is now believed to affect one of every 68 8-year-olds – up from one in 88 just two years earlier.

Autism Globally, autism is estimated to affect 24.8 million people as of 2015. As of 2010, the number of people affected is estimated at about 1–2 per 1,000 worldwide. It occurs four to five times more often in boys than girls.

Do Vaccines Cause Autism? At the same time, there was a rapid increase in the number of kids diagnosed with the condition. The paper’s findings led other doctors to do their own research into the link between the MMR vaccine and autism. At least 12 follow-up studies were done. None found any evidence the vaccine caused autism. An investigation into the 1998 study also uncovered a number of problems with how it was conducted.

Epidemiology of autism Epidemiology of autism. The epidemiology of autism is the study of the incidence and distribution of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). A 2012 review of global prevalence estimates of autism spectrum disorders found a median of 62 cases per 10,000 people. There is a lack of evidence from low- and middle-income countries though.

The Not-So-Hidden Cause Behind the A.D.H.D. Epidemic The Not-So-Hidden Cause Behind the A.D.H.D. Epidemic. Between the fall of 2011 and the spring of 2012, people across the United States suddenly found themselves unable to get their hands on A.D.H.D. medication. Low-dose generics were particularly in short supply. There were several factors contributing to the shortage, but the main cause was that supply was suddenly being outpaced by demand. The number of diagnoses of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder has ballooned over the past few decades.
