Can autism be caused by drinking and smoking?

Answer 1

No, smoking while pregnant does not cause Autism.

Autism is a neurological difference, being born Autistic does not mean that you were supposed to be born neurotypical and your brain went wrong due to your mothers actions while pregnant with you. Autism is believed to be primarily genetic, it comes down to parents genes.

Answer 2

See internet: 'Sugar, the sweetest Poison of all'. Read, study this page and then review your family's diet history. Then do the research. I think many of your families mental and physical health and problems will become clear. The old adage, 'you are what you eat', is absolutely true. 'doctoryourself.com is a huge resource.

if you're pregnant and you smoke/drink, then that could lead to autism and othr birth defects for the baby. but you can't actually acquire autism in any way after birth. so if you're over a minute old (i think u are) then its impossible for you to get autism. but you can give a baby autism by smoking around the pregnant mother.

Answer 3

Answer 4

No, Autism is not caused by drinking and smoking.

Autism is a neurological difference, people are born Autistic just in the same way that people are born neurotypical or with other neurological differences - the same as we have different eye colors, hair colors, skin colors, etc. it's down to genetics not environmental factors. Autism is not a birth defect or damage caused by poor lifestyle choices, it is just a variation in human beings.
