There is no chemical in the brain that is known to cause autism. In fact, the opposite is suspected; scientists think it is a chemical in a person's environment that may cause it, but this is only a theory, it hasn't been conclusively proven yet.
Autism is not a disease, Autism is a neurological difference - a difference in a persons brain and how their brain works. There is a strong genetic factor but we don't yet know the exact causes of Autism.
Autism isn't located in the brain, autism is a type of brain. Autism is a neurological variation, we don't say that autism is in the brain in the same way that we don't say that African-American is in the skin.
No! Autism is a disorder that effects the brain.

Autism spectrum disorder and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development.
No, autism isn't detectable on CT scans.
The mutation that causes Autism is a rare genetic mutation. There are three different genes that are linked to the cause of different disorders on the Autism Spectrum.
there is no real cure for Autism. the only thing that can help stop the process of autism from getting worse is to have the affected child be in Programs that will help him cope with his disability. but the only way that autism can really be cured is if someone is not born with it, but otherwise there is no Known cure of autism
Autism is a neurological variation so primarily the brain is effected by autism, an Autistic person has an Autistic brain. Autism also in turn effects the nervous system, and some Autistic people have digestive health problems too.
Autism is inborn. They haven't figure out what causes autism yet.
