Are the causes of autism really unknown?!


Question: Are the causes of autism really unknown!?
Answers:
There are many theories of the causes of autism, many are widely accepted some are controversial!. Autism has been identified as having a genetic factor for many years now and have recently isolated a chromosome abnormality on chromosome 15 and 16!. It is widely accepted that Autism is an autoimmune disorder and that is why vaccinations make autism worse in my opinion!. An immunocompromised person can not handle the insult of the assault of the chemical makeup in the vaccine, hence the vaccine doesn't do what it is supposed to do in a select albeit small population of people!. In these people it triggers a domino effect in which the body further attacks itself wreaking havoc on overall functioning!. My son had a lot of healing after he went through chelation (ridding the body of the damage from vaccines)!. It bothers me when parents claim that their autistic child was cured through chelation!. I don't believe you can be cured but the symptoms do lessen in intensity and duration, however I find it hard to believe that a child previously diagnosed autistic no longer meets criteria after chelation!. I do not believe vaccines cause autism!. I vaccinated my oldest who is autistic, my middle is not vaccinated at all he is autistic but higher functioning and my youngest has severe allergies complete with an epipen, eczema which he is on a middle grade steroid to control, and we have an immediate family history of everything listed above!. We now know that the neurological brain of Autism begins showing abnormalities in the frontal lobe in the first trimester of pregnancy!. This is why autistic kids have gi-normous macrocephalic heads!. My middle son we suspected autism when I was still pregnant!. At 39 weeks his head measured 48 (or 2 months old)!. MRI's can accurately predict autism by looking at the brainscan of a 3 yr old 90-95% of the time!. The densitiy of the frontal lobe and heavy brain is also linked to dyslexia!. A chemical balance in the brain with the neurotransmitter serotonin is also seen in autistics, and depression, bipolar, and addictions!. This is why there are a lot of autistics with a family history of depression, alcoholism, bipolar, dyslexia, and many autoimmune disorders such as allergies, asthma, eczema, cancer, lupus, myasthenia gravis, colitis, crohn's disease, ADD/ADHD, multiple sclerosis, and many more!. Many believe that autism is triggered by a virus!. Yes advanced age especially men over 40 are at an increased risk for an autistic child!. Autism is rising in epidemic proportions!. I do not believe autistic kids should be given the same vaccine schedule as neurotypicals and do see a screening for this happening in my lifetime!. Most accept that autism is autoimmune that the hardwiring is in place for before birth!. I believe autism is very syndromey!. All these kids have a lot of similar features!. Here they are:
+advanced age parent
+ family history of autoimmune disorders
+chemical imbalances in brain (serotonin)
+learning disorders
+macrocephalic head
+male
+left handed
+recessive eye color
+slight build (thin) or shorter stature (below 50th%)
+long eyelashes
+extremely good looking
+good sense of humor
+poor sensory integration
+visual learner
+fair skinWww@Answer-Health@Com

There is no known single cause for autism, 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 versus neuro-typical children!. Researchers are investigating a number of theories, including the link between heredity, genetics and medical problems!. In many families, there appears to be a pattern of autism or related disabilities, further supporting a genetic basis to the disorder!. While no one gene has been identified as causing autism, researchers are searching for irregular segments of genetic code that children with autism may have inherited!. It also appears that some children are born with a susceptibility to autism, but researchers have not yet identified a single "trigger" that causes autism to develop!.

Other researchers are investigating the possibility that under certain conditions, a cluster of unstable genes may interfere with brain development, resulting in autism!. Still other researchers are investigating problems during pregnancy or delivery as well as environmental factors, such as viral infections, metabolic imbalances, and exposure to environmental chemicals!.

Genetic Vulnerability
Autism tends to occur more frequently than expected among individuals who have certain medical conditions, including Fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, congenital rubella syndrome, and untreated phenylketonuria (PKU)!. Some harmful substances ingested during pregnancy also have been associated with an increased risk of autism!. Read more about related conditions!.

Environmental Factors
Research indicates that other factors besides the genetic component are contributing to the rise in increasing occurrences of ASD, such as environmental toxins (e!.g!., heavy metals such as mercury), which are more prevalent in our current environment than in the past!. Those with ASD (or those who are at risk) may be especially vulnerable, as their ability to metabolize and detoxify these exposures can be compromised!.

autism used to be diagnosed with a different set of criteria back a few decades ago!.

The rates of autism are not increasing!.

People being told that they have autism today would never have been labeled autistic back then!.

The autism net is being cast wider and deeper than ever before!.

The reasons are very clear!. More money for doctors!. More money for Shrinks, and more money for drugmakers!.

It's a fcking disgrace!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The latest findings indicate vaccines given to the mother!.

But really!.!.!.!.!.aside from future prevention possibilities, if you have it or know someone who has it, does it really matter!? I find that looking for someone or something to blame never helps anything!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Vaccines are one proven cause!. See sections 12, and 81, at http://www!.ezy-build!.net!.nz/~shanerisWww@Answer-Health@Com

There's no known cause!. The vaccine cause has been thoroughly discredited although some parents seem to need a specific reason to blame instead of just accepting their children as they are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
