What is the current best explanation for autism?

Not Known: Obviously there is a malfunction of the brain. But exactly what or why is unknown. Which is why there is no medicinal cure.

Complex: While there has been more recent research, this remains a difficult question. For a historical review check out this article from our http://www.Neuropsychologycentral.Com website: http://cpancf.Com/pdf/autistic_behavior_etiology_and_evaluation.Pdf.

Misinformation: Every organ of the body requires complex information derived from genes to respond to environmental ques and events. There is emerging evidence that information normally stored in our DNA can be deleted or replaced with unreadable information that leads to problems like autism. Whether this occurs in the egg or sperm before pregnancy is unknown, but the trigger is likely present before birth.
