A fraction of autism cases are traceable to genetic causes but are not inherited. Autism mechanisms are divided into two areas because the occurrence of it is not well understood. These areas are path-physiology and neuropsychological. These areas study the brain patterns of toddlers with Autism.

Since these treatments can be costly, many children go without treatment, leaving their parents to pick up the pieces as they continue to go through life.

Ivar Lvaas and his colleagues at the University of California have done a lot of research on this method. Their research calls for an intense one-on-one child-teacher interaction for 40 hours a week. This research laid the foundation for other researchers in the search for further effective early interventions to help those with autism. The main goal of ABA is to reinforce desirable behaviors and reduce undesirable
