What is the main reason of autism?and can you rate how many autistic people in the world?

Question

how about he ratio of autistic children in the world? thx.....

Answer 1

Just this week scientists found a gene  that, when something goes wrong with that gene, it seems to cause autism, or at least contributes to it. If that is the case, treatment will come.

I don't think it has anything to do with the new urban myth of vaccinations. Children seem to be born autistic. They don't get it after they get immunized.

Answer 2

Actually the new figures are out and it is very sad.  I in every 121 children born are diagnosed with Autism.  They have found a gene the 16th to be exact.  Either there is two much DNA in the gene or not enough and that contributes to autism.  There is the myth of vaccinations but that is just trying to find something to blame it on.  There is no cure, but children with early years of intensive therapy have a chance!

Answer 3

So far, the main reason a child will be autistic is genetics. Currently there are families that have two or three autistic children.

There are other factors such as brain injury due to problem in the birth canal or accidents. There currently is no research that shows that chemical exposures cause autism.

Autism is one of the most complicated and confusing labels that a child can be given. The reason it is so confusing is that it is a symptomatic label. This means there is no disease, as such, of autism, there are just unexplained symptoms manifested, and if a child displays enough of them they will receive the label.

There is also an entire continuum of labels related to autism such as: hyperlexic, PDD (Pervasive Developmental Delay), ASD (autism spectrum disorder), High Functioning Autism, Aspergers.

What children with any of these labels usually have in common is sensory dysfunction. One or more of their senses are not functioning normally. Whether they are really on the autism spectrum is up for debate.

With such complexity in the identification of children with autism, it would be impossible to estimate how many people in the world have autism. It isn't even recognized in some countries. Anyone who attempts to give you an estimate may be quite wrong. Or, they may be right, but at best, given our current diagnostic techniques, it is pretty much conjecture.

Answer 4

I have a 13yr. daughter with autism that I home school.

one in every 150 children are born with autism.  There is a wide range of symptoms in the spectrum disorder.  No two autistic children are alike.  My daughter is high functioning.  She can talk, read, and write.  Some never talk.  Do a search on the web.

Answer 5

There is a genetic link,with environmental triggers.If a child is born to a parent with aspergers syndrome or high functioning autism,then the risk is high.Things that can increase the risk is vaccines due to mercury content,food allergys can induce autism.Vitamin and mineral deficiencys.Autism,is children with starving brains.Their bodys do not absorb nutrients,and their brain is starving.Lymes disease,virusis,such as herpes,and measles virus from the live measles virus in the vaccine has been found in the gut and or bowls of autistic children.Check out the book Children With Starving Brains.Check out some autism bio-med yahoo groups.Check out the autism research institute.Antibiotics also destroy the immune system and make you more prone to food allergys and candida,which can induce autism.There are other sources of heavy metal toxitity besides the vaccines,and vaccines are not the soul cause of autism.1 in 6 american children has a learning disability.1 in 94 boys will be diagnosed with autism.To many things in the environment that were not there years ago.Zero nutrition in our food supply.Cooking and proccessing destroys the enzymes in the food that you need to digest it.Adrenal and thyroid dysfunction may also contribute to the increase in autism.Check out Mary Shomon`s yahoo group called thyroid.Also books by Dr. David Brownstein.Also the book Adrenal Fatigue The 21st Century Stress Syndrome. Let me add another thing.I have a child with autism that was vaccinated.My next child,I did not vaccinate,and she shows no signs of autism,She will be 3 in July.In fact,She has been my healthiest child.Only been to the doctor for well baby checkups.
