What causes autism??

Answer 1

The exact cause of autism is not yet known but there is much scientific research that relates it to myriad conditions in the body. Gastrointestinal disorders, toxicity, neurogenic disorders, and poor dietry habits are some of the conditions researchers believe could be the cause of increased symptoms in autism. There have been numerous studies that correlate the abnormal gut permeability of autism patients to gastrointestinal imbalances, food allergies, protein absorption problems, bacterial and fungal overgrowth, and nutritional deficiencies in tryptophan and zinc.

Amino acids are primary building blocks of neurotransmitters in the brain that influence mood and behaviour. Many researchers feel there is a correlation between autistic children and amino acid digestion. The digestion and assimilation of essential amino acids consumed in our food plays a prime role in the health of an autistic individual.

Tryptophan, one of the essential amino acids has been found to affect the hormone serotonin, a neurotransmitter that influences sleep, mood swings, and appetite.

In modern society there has been an increase in autism. One factor believed to contribute to this rise is in the ratio between omega - 6 to omega - 3 intake in the diet. In the early 1900's, omega - 6 ratios were 4-1. In the late 1980's this ratio had risen to a staggering 25-1! Everything from amino acid imbalances to fungal overgrowth indicates the many parts of the MATRIX that can have an effect on the Autistic person.
The correlation between poor amino acid digestion and the liver can often be helped just be healing LGS with Mangosteen juice and thus improving protein digestion and liver function; this will in turn allow such amino acids as tryptophan to once again balance serotonin levels in the brain. And this will give an autistic individual a peaceful day instead of an emotionally stressful day.

Food allergies for the autistic can also have a direct bearing on the gut permeability and inflammation of the gut.
Mangosteen Xanthones possess powerful anti-inflammatory agents that will either eliminate or reduce the allergies of an autistic individual.

Answer 2

Autism is a disorder of the central nervous system. People with autism generally experience "sensory overload" where they have a hard time tuning out unimportant information and focusing on the important. It has to do with the way the neurons in their brain commmunicate with each other. Autism is also shown to have a genetic link. There are many other theories out there, some better than others. If you want to read about many theories of the causes of autism in depth, I recommend going to www.wikipedia.com and searching "causes of autism"

Answer 3

The short answer? No one knows.

Some theories suggest that the Autistic Spectrum is evidence of the constant evolution of the complex neocortex, the delicate balance between intellectual computation and interaction in a dynamic world. Others attribute to genetic defects in the structure of the neurons in the mind, or issues of epileptic seizures.

Answer 4

The cause of autism is unknown. It is believed that some children are born with a predisposition to it and it's triggered by the MMR vaccine, but that's just one of many theories.

Answer 5

Its believed to be genetic since it tends to run in families, but the cause has not been found yet.

Answer 6

You really cant say. what its know its that its hereditary and it has to do with your DNA.
