Ah...Friday
I was extremely busy yesterday. I'm tired today from all that work yesterday.
Anyway, I haven't talked about the causes of Autism yet. Why? This is an extremly complicated issue because there is no commonly accepted cause of Autism. If you want to read alot about this, go to my other site, Autism and Related Disorders, and click on Autism, then Causes. As this site is mostly too detailed and monotonous, I am putting a summary of what it is here:
Despite the numerous theories put forward, the most common theories would be genetics, brain abnormalities,
gut/intestinal tract abnormalities, and mercury in vaccines.
Though no genes have actually been identified as causing Autism, a pattern of Autism Spectrum Disabilities has often been seen to run in families.
In addition, recent studies using brain scans seem to show abnormalities in the shape and structure of Autistic brains.
As for the gut/intestinal tract abnormalities, there is increasing evidence that the gut/intestinal tracts in autistics are impaired. This is a complicated process, but it is said to cause "leaky gut". In the bloodstream, peptides, a result of "leaky gut" react with the internal chemicals, at certain areas of the body called opioid receptors. This slows the brain down and should they get into the brain, they act similarly to the drugs morphine and heroin! (Please visit the site for more info.)
Lastly, mercury (no, that is not a typo, there actually was and occasionally still is mercury in vaccines) in vaccines has been suspected to cause Autism as many parents seemed have their child regress into Autism, (regressing into Autism at about age 1 ½ to 2 sometimes happens) after their child received vaccines. A disease that is now rare was acrodynia, or “Pink Disease.” This was often caused by mercury that was previously in teething powders. Though most babies died, some recovered and many of them exhibited Autistic traits. However, how is the mercury in vaccines at all? Thimerosal, an agent that is used in vaccines as a preservative is 49.6 %mercury by weight. If the amount of mercury in the vaccines a child receives is totaled up, it is significantly (often 500%) more then the acceptable amount. Yet, many children’s bodies are luckily able to excrete most of that mercury. This issue is highly controversial and the validity of this theory is unknown.
Though Autism was first described in 1943, Autism remains a mystery.
