Autism is not caused by how the parents treat their children.Autism is a neurological condition caused by genes. If a parent has genes for autism, the child could inherit those genes, making it possible that the child could have autism, but that will not necessarily happen. In addition, there are also spontaneous genetic mutations in some fetuses, some of which have no effect, but others of which can result in autism or other conditions.
