Meds/ASD: ASD is a developmental disorder and inherently commonly genetic. There can be environmental influences on gene mutations, but medications have not been found to be causative. OCD can also be genetic and environmentally influenced. It may have been caused by increased anxiety or other causes besides meds, just timed while taking them.
