VIRUSES
Scientists carried out scientific research in the field of virology. They found that toxic and infectious causes may influence the development of autism.
Herpes simplex virus, rubella, mononucleosis, chickenpox, roseola, and cytomegalovirus are dangerous for a child’s developing brain. They can cause an unusual response of the body’s immune system to infection. With reduced immunity in newborns, the penetration of the virus into their body affects the nervous system and the brain. In simple terms, the baby’s body is fighting with itself, damaging its healthy cells, which results in early childhood autism and mental retardation.
The virus often enters the child’s body during intrauterine development, when a pregnant woman becomes infected. It is also possible that the baby can be infected through breast milk during breastfeeding or saliva. It so happens that a child picks up an infectious disease in a nursery. And as you know, the main symptoms of autism are lack of eye contact, emotional poverty, withdrawal and decreased communication functions.
