Baron Cohen on Autism Causes: Autism Must Involve Environmental as Well as Genetic Factors

This autism causes quote of the day is dedicated to my Neurodiversity blogger friends at lbrb and autism.change.org. It is part of a polite email exchange between Dr. Baron Cohen and Anne Dachel at Age of Autism:

I completely agree that autism must involve both environmental as well as genetic factors (a point that nowadays hardly contentious).

    I agree with you, from the many things that I've heard in connection with autism genetic factors are not the only factor that causes autism but there are also lot of things that can cause it.

    Yeah, it's well known nowadays that autism is not only causes by genetic factors, however I did not know this kind of problem.
