Abstract: Autism is a disorder that is not restricted to a certain race, gender or to the scale of development of the country, and that’s what I want others to understand. For this research I have read and searched through a number of books, both hard cover and electronic, I have also read a lot of medical web articles, and looked through autism organization websites to validate the accuracy of my material. Through this research I have found that there are in fact several factors that contribute in the cause of Autism, such as: genetic and environmental factors. But sadly to this day no exact cause has been known for sure.
I have also found several remedies that don’t exactly cure Autism, but might help lessen its severity. As well as searched and found how Autistic children are being treated out in the society. This research would be helpful to parents and those who are looking for a better understanding on Autism.
Methodology: For this research paper I used several research methods, the first is an online research. I searched for causes and for possible remedies, though not many do exist. I used qualitative research method where I interviewed a couple of people, them being my parents -since they obviously have experience in that matter- and my aunt who is a Harvard graduate with a professorial degree in genetic engineering. I have also looked into how they and who others feel towards those slightly different people who do suffer from autism? Are they frightened of them? Do they pity them? Are they disgusted of them? And so on.
“Autism! A Genetic Disorder? Or Is It Caused By Something Else?”
