Answer 2

Some thoughts on what could cause autism..

Vaccines, both to the child, and to the mother while pregnant[flu, Rhogam]

Ultra sounds.

Living next to certain types of chemical plants/factories.

You can also go over how treatment through diet and metal detox usually correct autism quite a bit.

DAN![Defeat autism now] doctors are the type that assist in this.

I just saw a study where almost all children with autism have mumps bacteria in the gut. This is how it correlates with the MMR, it was never about mercury/thimerosal in the MMR, since it has never had any, vaccines containing live virus's do not have preservatives.

Email or IM me and I can help a bit with finding some studies.

Try using google scholar.

Answer 3

Search something about how Autism and rainy climates are correlated. Remember, correlation is not causation but it is considered an environmental factor. It's a theory that in rainier climates, children are most likely watch a lot of tv because they are indoors a lot. The researcher believes tv also correlates with Autism.
