Do Vaccines Cause Autism?
🟦 Website: https://autismadvance.com/
In this video I will be answering the question if Autism is Caused by Vaccines. The idea that vaccines cause autism has been debunked by multiple large-scale studies. The initial study published in 1998 by Andrew Wakefield claiming a link between vaccines and autism has been discredited and its author has lost his medical license for ethical violations. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention states that there is no link between vaccines and autism and that not vaccinating children puts them and others at risk of getting sick from preventable diseases.

In this video I will be talking about the potential causes and risk factors associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder. While the exact causes of ASD are not fully understood, research suggests that genetic and environmental factors, as well as brain development and parental age, may play a role.
Studies have shown that up to 90% of the risk for developing ASD is due to genetic factors, and certain genetic mutations and chromosomal abnormalities have been linked to an increased risk of the disorder. Environmental factors such as prenatal exposure to toxins and maternal infection during pregnancy may also increase the risk of ASD. Differences in brain development and brain function have also been observed in individuals with ASD, and advanced parental age has been associated with an increased risk of the disorder.
