Majority Causes of Autism still Mysterious

The member of the Egyptian Society of Allergy and Immunology, Dr. Magdy Badran revealed the importance to celebrate World Autism Day to increase public awareness and to recognizes Autism as a spreading global pandemic.

He told “Arab Today” in a statement that children suffering from Autism have problems in communicating , tend to isolate themselves from other children , get angry When violating their privacy, and living in their own world , adding that the World Autism is derived from Autous which means self .
 
He added that the disorders of Autism start at a very young age, showing lack of social , verbal and non-verbal communication . It happens to one out of 68 children in the US , and it is  more likely to happen between male children by four and half times than female children .

He explained that most of Autism causes are still mysterious , adding that 25% are genetic causes along with other environmental ones that can happen to the children prenatal ,during and after birth .

Scientists researches reveals that Autism can happen during pregnancy due to drugs, heavy metals , particles stuck in the air , infection, diabetes, allergies ,pollution, genetically modified foods and smoking.
 
He added that 5% of Autism cases happen due to flaws in neurological conductors and the white substance in the brain , It also happen because of low number of burking cells in the cerebellum ,that is responsible to deliver information from the cerebellum to the Cortex , causing dysfunction in the that can hinder both motor skills and perception .

He confirmed that the risk of having Autism is high among identical twins and less among non-identical ones , and having one child with Autism increases the chances to happen to another child from the same parents , with the high risk of happening among children with genetic or mental diseases , children with Down Syndrome , children born early and children with low weight at birth .

He added that the rates of food allergies and Autism had increased during the last two decades in the United States , and about 1.8 million child is in danger because of allergies , and at the same time the Autism rates is up to 1500% , as they are epidemics.

He said that the intestines are an integral part of the immune system and had their connection with the brain , as they also known as the second brain , and having allergies to some foods can cause infections to the  membrane of the intestines, adding that Gluten  can harm wheat causing at least 200 different damages .

He continued that some antibiotics of wheat react with body proteins especially the Nervous system causing Autism , and the wheat gluten helps to increase a particular proteinuria between the small spaces of the cells lining the small intestine , which increase unidentified substances entering the blood similar to the  B cells of the insulin-producing pancreas, and therefore the immune system starts to deal with this tissues as a strange substance which leads to complete destruction of the pancreas and having Diabetes at a very young age.

The Wheat Allergy patient is constantly bleeding, and is deprived of proteins which leads to Anemia and frequent diarrhea , and at least 76% of children with Autism is having at least one problem with the digestive system ,and 64% have more than one  .

There is a connection between digestive problems and behavior attitudes among the children with Autism such as social isolation and hyper activities . Antibiotics helped with the spread of the disease and the children nowadays is subjected to different toxics found in the preserved foods .

Available epidemiological data shows no connection between measles, mumps and rubella vaccine and autism , show great flaws in the previous studies that say otherwise .

He concluded that the Autism researches show that the parents of an Autism child are more likely to have depression which will harm the child himself , and a healthy diet can be helpful to Autism patients .
