Genes and the environment play a big role in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in a few important ways:
Genetic Factors: Some people have genes that make them more likely to develop ASD.
Environmental Factors: Things like exposure to harmful substances before birth or infections can affect how these genes work.
Interaction Between Genes and Environment: It’s not only about having certain genes; the environment can make their effects stronger or weaker.
By understanding how these factors work together, we can come up with better ways to prevent and help with ASD.
