There have been reliable studies done showing a link between pitocin given to induce or speed up labor and autism.
It is important to remember though that correlation does not equal causation.
Some researchers believe that the child would have been born with Autism with or without the pitocin, but that the the need for the pitocin [...]

The signs of autism are not noticed until after 12-18 months, because everyone’s brain develops the same until around that age. At that point, the autistic’s brain will begin to develop differently.
Vaccinations have been blamed for this because they are given around this age. There have been lots of studies and research dollars poured into [...]

Thimerosal is an inorganic mercury compound that is metabolized to ethylmercury and thiosalicylate and has been present since the 1930’s as a preservative in some vaccines and pharmaceutical products to prevent bacterial and fungal contamination. Here’s some facts on how is Thimerosal related to Autism:

For decades, ethylmercury was used extensively in medical products ranging from [...]

Pharmaceutical companies stopped producing most childhood vaccines with thimerosal in 2001. Only some influenza doses are still manufactured with a trace amount of the preservative. If they had caused some of the cases of autism, we should be seeing a significant drop about now.Inspite of anecdotal stories, at least most of the children with autism, [...]

The suggestion is that in males and females with autism; the brain is essentially extremely “male” caused by an excess of testosterone.
Note, not the person, just the brain. The brain has these features as a result of the wrong amounts of hormones during development. What I want to know is, since autism is supposedly a [...]

According to Temple Grandin symptoms that resemble frontal lobe damage are a big part of autism. In other words, a person with autism shows symptoms that are similar to someone with undeveloped frontal lobes, even though the autistic person does not have a smaller or damaged frontal lobe.Grandin says: “…even though autistic people have a [...]

Rett Syndrome,which is in the autistic spectrum was found to be genetic in ‘99 and there is actually a genetic test for it .
It is believed that autism is genetic because of its similarities to Rett Syndrome and that it tends to run in families.
Yes, a “cure” is possible and Rett Syndrome symptoms have been [...]

Q: Can autism or pdd be caused by baby formuls?
Answer:
No one is really sure what is causing the “epidemic” of autism cases.I doubt it’s caused by baby formula…that’s just some vitamins and lactation protiens.The world is full of hazards…perhaps a combination of environmental factors are sharing a vector and causing this surge in autistic cases.

Q: I am beginning to think there is a link. Most autistic children that I see have older/slim mothers that breastfeed. Could there be something the mother is doing/not doing to unintentionally cause their child to be autistic. I see some mothers worrying about their bodies after the pregnancy.
Could the infant not be getting enough [...]

Q:Does anyone know where i can find a punnet square showing the inheritance of autism?
Answer:
The factors that cause autism is not yet fully known. That’s why it’s pictorial symbol is an “unfinished puzzle”.
Until recently [say last 50 years], autism was thought to have generated due to bad parenting and abuse [i.e. external factors]. However, very [...]

What: Pregnant women and new mothers who already have one child with autism joined UC Davis researchers and officials from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as they announced funding of $7.5 million for UC Davis autism research. Part of the funding will go to a new autism [...]

The doctor who caused a worldwide drop in childhood immunisation nearly ten years ago by suggesting there was a link between the measles, mumps rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism is facing a disciplinary hearing with his two fellow researchers. Dr Andrew Wakefield, Professors Simon Murch and John Walker Smith, are accused of serious professional misconduct [...]

One thing is for certain, autism lyme connections do exist. For those of you reading this that are unfamiliar with lyme disease, it is a primarily tick borne illness that stems from a bacteria called Borrelia. This type of bacteria is very hard to detect as it is generally a spirochete, a form of bacteria [...]

SUNDAY, Feb. 18 (HealthDay News) — The largest study of the genetics of autism ever conducted, involving DNA from almost 1,200 affected families worldwide, has already yielded two important clues to the poorly understood disorder, scientists say.Discoveries in two areas of the genome — a region on chromosome 11 suspected of having links to autism, [...]

While there is no general agreement on an ultimate root of autism causes, various schools of thought identify potential causes for autism to develop. Genetics is one oft-cited possible cause for autism. While many would agree that the chances for an adult with autism to have offspring with autism, the genetic theory goes further than [...]
