What is the Cause?

The cause of autistic spectrum is not yet clear. It is easy to say that the Genes play a big role. It is inherited through the parents. Brothers or sisters with a child with the condition are 75 times more likely to develop it. Autism has different forms such as Asperger Syndrome, which has similar symptoms.
