What exactly causes autism?
No one knows for sure what causes a person to develop autism. Current research indicates there is a strong genetic component. Many researchers and other professionals are also examining the possibility of an environmental trigger. Cure Autism Now has funded over 90 different research projects that we hope will lead us to the causes and a cure for autism.
