What are the Causes and Risk Factors of Autism ?

🟦 Website: https://autismadvance.com/

In this video I will be talking about the potential causes and risk factors associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder. While the exact causes of ASD are not fully understood, research suggests that genetic and environmental factors, as well as brain development and parental age, may play a role.
Studies have shown that up to 90% of the risk for developing ASD is due to genetic factors, and certain genetic mutations and chromosomal abnormalities have been linked to an increased risk of the disorder. Environmental factors such as prenatal exposure to toxins and maternal infection during pregnancy may also increase the risk of ASD. Differences in brain development and brain function have also been observed in individuals with ASD, and advanced parental age has been associated with an increased risk of the disorder.
