Can obesity in mothers lead to autism in children?
No, obesity in mothers cannot lead to autism in children. Although we don't know the exact causes of autism it is largely due to genetic factors and genetic mutation, there is some evidence to link certain environmental factors such as use of certain antidepressants with autism but it's not conclusive. There is nothing to suggest obesity in the mother would lead to autism in her child.
What do we currently know about the cause of autism?
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.
Why do environmental factors affect people with autism?
No, as far as we know there are no environmental factors that lead to autism - autism isn't 'triggered' it is a neurological variation. This however does not stop people using autism to try to support their agenda, for example some people claim vaccines, GMO's or pesticides cause autism.

What blood type is most likely to have autism?
There is no known direct association between blood type and autism. Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition with multiple factors contributing to its development. Factors such as genetics, environmental influences, and prenatal development are thought to play a role in the development of autism.
Can you get autism in any other ways?
You cannot 'get' autism, you are born Autistic. Autism is a neurological difference so you're Autistic from the time your brain develops in the second trimester. Autism is a result of genetic factors.
Is autism a neural disorder?
So little is known about autism that we do not even know that.
Is there any genetic link in autism?
Yes, genetic influences on autism are believed to be 74%-98%. This figure comes from a large-scale research project on twins, where one twin was allistic and the other was Autistic. We do not know exactly what factors lead to autism, but as a normal human variant it was bound to be genetic.
What is a good attention grabber for autism?

What happens in the body to cause the disease for autism?
Autism is not a disease, Autism is a neurological difference. As Autism is neurological it occurs in the womb, mostly we believe it is caused by genes or genetic mutations, although environmental factors such as medications taken by the mother during pregnancy may cause autism.
Is there anything in your environment that contributes to someone having autism?
A person does not 'have' autism, a person is Autistic. Autism is a neurological variation that results from genetics, there's nothing conclusive to say that environmental factors contribute to this.
