While the specific genetic cause can be pinpointed in approximately 15-20% of individuals with autism, common variants and genetic and environmental interactions also play significant roles. It is important to note that increased risk is not the same as a cause, and vaccines do not cause autism.
Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for improving outcomes. Parents should consult with healthcare professionals for a comprehensive evaluation and to explore evidence-based therapies and interventions.
