Of course, there were lots of different articles and speculations on this topic, but the right answer was still unknown. But fortunately, the recent study claims that all answers are now evident.

Some popular researches claimed that autism is caused by the vaccines that kids get when they are babies. This has led people to refuse to vaccinate their children.

According to the latest studies, autism may be caused by having too many brain connections called synapses.

Scientists claim that these brain connections can have an adverse effect on the nervous systems.

Moreover, they got a more specific answer, and identified that the malfunctioning gene within the neurones, called RNF8, may be the one to blame. Usually, it regulates connections between neurons and makes communication between them possible.

Scientists also state that in cases when genes work in a wrong way they can overload the system and confuse the brain.

An increased number of synapses creates miscommunication among neurons in the developing brain that correlates with impairments in learning, although we don’t know how.
