Abstract

Autism is a group of neurodevelopmental disorders caused by psychological and physiological factors. It mostly occurs in infants and young children, and the disease process is long, which has brought great material and spiritual pain to the patients themselves and their families. Studying the factors of autism is of great significance to develop treatment methods and alleviate the disease. This paper summarizes the physiological factors of autism by combing the literature on the causes of autism. The results show that heredity, heavy metals, maternal factors, nutrition, brain structure and function, intestinal microorganisms, and immune system are important factors for autism. Autism may be affected by a variety of factors. However, at present, the etiology of autism is not completely clear, and researchers need to further take interdisciplinary exploration and deepen existing research to further clarify the pathogenesis of autism.
