Answer:
What is autism?
Autism is a developmental disorder related to interaction and communication, expressed in two main categories:
1. Marked deterioration of social interaction with others (lack of eye contact, or low level eye contact, lack of participation in enjoyment).
2. Patterns of behavior and repetitive and stereotyped rituals restricted (obsessive repetition of actions or movements).
Is there a known cause for the development of autism?
Demystifying the etiology of autism is a scientific task that has suffered many fluctuations in recent decades. Although there is substantial research evidence on the influence of genetic factors, a broader consideration today relates to the epigenetic field that also includes consideration of environmental factors.
At present, it is still impossible to isolate the genetic, environmental and neurological development factors involved in the neurological or metabolic aspects of the disorder.
