What are some things about autism?
Autism is a neurological difference, just like skin color or eye color this is a normal human variation and Autistic people are not inferior to neurotypical people.

What happens in the body to cause the disease for autism?

Does autism have anything to do with the mother decisions during birth?
No, autism has absolutely nothing to do with the decisions that a mother made during birth. Autism is a neurological condition so is a result of development in the womb during the second trimester.

What are some things that parents want to better understand about Aspergers and Autism?
Aspergers is a very mild autism. In fact some people have AS and their friends or family don't know it. I read from an article recently that AS people were described as, "A normal person with a bit of autism sprinkled on." Aspergers is often marked with being social awkward and having intense interests. These are most strong during childhood but often ease up to a more normal level in adulthood. Autism in general is more severe that AS so symptoms and signs may be more extreme and longer lasting.
