What causes adult autism?

Hi I have adult autism. I want to know what caused it? Am I still a cave man. Did I not develop like normal because mom used drugs. I know she did. She is currently on meth, cocaine, heroin. I hate her. Grandparents raised.
I think so fast it is...

crazy. I can't stand humans. I love 3 and like 3 people. People are users. To get what they want. I want to help people, old people. old People that have learned a lot about life .
I think so so so much. About the world. Everything.
The U.S. dollar is weak, I hate the china trade, china might leave if U.S. goes down to much, dollar good here, some people centered around money, no most people, money is good for what one needs to survive, I think like a super computer.
Why do I think so fast like a computer?
No one is sure what causes autism?
Me either. I have lots of thories.
I learned how to read when I was 15YRS old. I learn by hands on and experience. I don't what to be a rich person. I don't want to get high off money. my high is life. Life is a very interesting place to me. I'm glad I'm this way. I love being autistic. I love to figure things out. I would like to work for the good of society and animals. I don't want to be named. (Rich, autistic, or whatever else). I can't figure out death. People don't know about somethings including death, we are blind folded or something, I would never look for gousts that is dangerous. It is the unknown that man doesn't know.
I think about people kind of like a statistic. I get pleasure from small things. I love to look at falls leaves on the ground for one and tones more.

What Causes Autism?

The exact cause of autism is not known, but research has pointed to several possible factors, including genetics (heredity), certain types of infections, and problems occurring at birth.

Recent studies strongly suggest that some people have a genetic predisposition to autism, meaning that a susceptibility to develop the condition may be passed on from parents to children. Researchers are looking for clues about which genes contribute to this increased vulnerability. In some children, environmental factors may also play a role. Studies of people with autism have found abnormalities in several regions of the brain, which suggest that autism results from a disruption of early brain development while still in utero.

Other theories suggest:

The body's immune system may inappropriately produce antibodies that attack the brains of children causing autism.
Abnormalities in brain structures cause autistic behavior.
Children with autism have abnormal timing of the growth of their brains. Early in childhood, the brains of autistic children grow faster and larger than those of normal children. Later, when normal children's brains get bigger and better organized, autistic kids' brains grow more slowly.

The mecury in your vacinnations cause autism.

I'm not sure what causes it, but I think it's wonderful that people think like that.. instead of things that arn't really nessisary like what ofit should you wear, what this celbrity did, etc.. wish there was more who'd think about the world around them, you know?

Hi, I can't answer your question (amblessed seems to have good information) but I was really interested by what you wrote - thanks for sharing it with us.

Dear helpster1,
Yes, amblessed has some good information there for you. It is untrue that it is cause by vaccinations this has been proven to be incorrect. The biggest hurdle with autism is to control your emotions and learning to socialize. Your are very high functioning so you fall into a category that can be helped with learning strategies. You have a great attitude and will no doubt be very successful in what every you do.
Sue...good luck
