The exact cause of autism is not fully understood, but research suggests that a combination of genetic and environmental factors may play a role. Genetic factors are believed to contribute significantly to the development of autism, with certain genes being associated with an increased risk. Additionally, environmental factors such as prenatal exposure to certain substances or infections may also influence the development of autism. Further research is needed to fully understand the complex interplay of these factors in the development of autism.
