I know that your many of us in the autism community this can be a very controversial question.

What actually causes ASD?

So far the jury is “out” in terms of an official explanation but that does not stop a number of different theories being shared.

Obviously this is a “hot button” subject for many people but we thought a discussion could prove of value.  Because of this we would ask you to remain both polite and charitable if you join in the discussion about the causes of autism in the comments box below.

In the first instance it would be great if you could take part in our poll on the causes of autism below,  Secondly it would be great if you could share more using the comments box below.

We are very keen to hear you opinions.

Many thanks.
