"What causes Autism?" is a question every doctor hears, when they tell a parent their child is Autistic. There is no one definite answer to this question. There are several theories on what causes Autism. Some of the causes of Autism are thought to be genetic. Doctors suspect that there are several genes that induce Autism, but they have yet to be located. Still they feel that some people are born with a predisposition to be Autistic. Children in this category then encounter some kind of environmental trigger and they become Autistic. Some studies show a connection to environmental factors and Autism. Many scientists think that pollution and toxins in the air can contribute to a child having Autism. Studies have revealed that small towns with high cases of Autism have one thing in common, a local pollution source. Usually this source is a factory of some sort that routinely releases a high concentration of toxins and chemicals into the atmosphere. A majority of people believe Autism can be caused by the Mercury, or Thimersal (ethyl mercury) contained
in early vaccinations. This belief maybe due to the fact that Doctors began diagnosing Autism in earnest
about the same time as widespread early child vaccinations began.
General concern about Mercury contamination and Autism needs to be maintained. Researchers have shown
that children who are exposed to high levels of Mercury are more likely to
develop Autism. High levels of Mercury can be contributed to eating a lot of fish and/or exposure to
industrial emissions. Coal burning power plants release Mercury into the air, for example.
