I found an article about a genetic component to autism being found and realized that is now common thought among researchers that autism is caused by some form of autoimmune problem. I did extensive research into the article-as there was a lot of medical information I was not quite familiar with-so I hope this helps others to understand what is going on now with autism and the research field.

The article was published October 20, 2011. Here is the original article: http://www.news-medical.net/news/20111020/Women-with-MET-genetic-variant-and-autoantibodies-more-likely-to-have-autistic-child.aspx. Please excuse the technical first paragraph, but I feel it is important to try to understand the basics to understand what is going on with the genes.
