Whenever a doctor informs the parents that their child is suffering with Autism, the first &
foremost question that is thrown over him is - How did it happen? How did my child get this
disease?
Well, there is no definite answer to what are the exact causes of Autism. Yet, there are various
theories that the researchers and doctors are working on. Interestingly, it is found that Autism is
rather common in boys than girls.
Earlier, it was believed that Autism occurred due to emotional trauma. Hence, bad parenting
was added to its causes. The doctors said that mothers not giving their children enough
attention & love were a problem. However, these factors were proved wrong with enough study
& research.
