Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental disorders that still can’t be told exactly what the cause is. There are so many speculations and theories but still none of them have complete detailed proof. A child carries autism since he or she was in the pregnancy, but we can detect if a women carries a baby with autism syndrome in the brain. We can only find out after few years and it makes it even harder to find out what the causes are and how to prevent it.

Parents that are expecting a baby might have some worried feeling about the bay’s condition, and autism is one of the worries they don’t want to be delivered along with the birth of the baby. This uncertain condition will be frustrating enough, but with the researches on autism established by so many organizations, you might be able to take some conclusions on what factors you have to avoid if you don’t want your unborn baby carrying autism symptoms.

First of all we can start by discussing about the most common question is if vaccines cause autism. There are two theories about this question. The first one is if the Mumps-Measles-Rubella (MMR) vaccine might bring intestinal problems that will lead to the development of autism. There are also another theory of mercury-based preservative called thimerosal, that used in some vaccines could be the cause of autism.

There is also a theory if autism is genetic. This theory is also very common around us since many studies have shown that parents from families with autistic member are more likely to have autistic children. You can also find studies said that many families with one autistic child are at higher risk of having more than one autistic child. Of course if the cause is genetic, there is nothing we can do to prevent this illness. All we can do is just pray for luck so the baby will not suffer autism.

You might have heard about the theory if bad parenting causes autism. Well, it is actually not a true opinion or conclusion. It is actually a wrong interpretation on parents with autistic children. We can’t avoid that having autistic children is quite upsetting so we often find people with autistic children act really cold to the child, but of course it is not the cause. The truth is, the autism itself made the parents looks sore.

Some researchers have seen that the autistic brain has bigger brain size than the typical brain. We also might take the conclusion that the cause of autism is the bigger brain size, but of course this theory still needs more research and is still ongoing at the universities.

There are many other causes that are suspected to be the cause of autism including immune deficiency problem and or food allergies. One thing for sure the illness is related to brain, the most concern should be addressed to the protection of the baby’s brain. Several factors combined will make the chance of having a baby with autism even bigger, so you have to care about your baby’s nutrition and also keep it from dangerous substance that will affect the health.
