Odd question from another autistic

Less so during early child brain development.
Besides, you are ASD1. That injury model only applies to the severe co-morbids associated with ASD2 & 3.
What is the prevalence of such allergies in the general population? I have simply never heard of an allergy that causes brain damage, even though I have autoimmune issues - inherited from the other side of the family than autism - and have read a lot and in depth about autoimmune conditions.
Oh my goodness, yes. I have the all the same. I thought I was crazy until I learned how common these are in autists.
I am skeptical about autism being a hereditary condition because in most cases the genes that supposedly cause autism have not been identified. There is evidence, for example, that the women who consumed alcohol during pregnancy are more likely to have autistic children than the ones who didn't . There are other environmental factors as well, and there are plenty of proven environmental causes of autism.
You're lucky. I nearly died from taking aspirin, ended up in the emergency room and was shot full of epinephrine to enable me to breathe. That's an acute allergy that can cause death.
Could you please provide the sources of this information?
I think you're confusing fetal alcohol syndrome with autism. They are not the same thing.
Since I figured out I am learning a lot about myself, sure getting a lot of info from my fellow autistics. Does it have something to do with my unusual blood type, or the fact both my parents had this blood type is it all related to immunity really got me thinking. six siblings four autistic us four have same blood type all six bright, ASD1 autistics tend to be bright is this correlated.
The vast majority of human characteristics are caused by a large number of genes interacting, enhancing, canceling traits. Sometimes the expression of a gene or group of genes can be influenced by environmental factors.
The simple one gene one color of Mendel’s experiments with peas are the exception, not the rule. There is also evidence Mendel tinkered with his reported results.
The last I checked, which admittedly is some time ago, inheritance is observed by looking at family trees. (We cannot put humans in a lab and force them to breed.)
Check the research on blue people for an illustrative example.
From looking at family trees, it appears autism has a genetic component, likely a large one.
Watched a few videos on Mendel, he was very anal about his data would love to see his data do some statistical analysis, Read the article questioning his data years ago, now questioning this article. If he is an Aspie like me, I am anal about data, do not think he would fiddle with it. Agree with article he got lucky using peas. I was shocked my covid data, was so good until I after two years of collection checked at 5 sigma level almost had heart attack, cannot make this stuff up.

I am not a lawyer, but I have studied the law on my own after an incident involving myself. I also like reading new data about lawsuits. This is a link to the website that lists a large number of lawsuits involving autism in various countries:
Autism Court Cases | Global Database Of Autism Court Cases
Obviously, none of these lawsuits has references to hereditary conditions.

Thank you. It’s good to see the source.
It looks like a very brief description of one human study with significant limitations that was followed by this:
Perhaps it would be informative to also consider the prevalence of alcoholism in women with undiagnosed autism and subsequent use during pregnancy.
It was in 1979 that the severe co-morbids of ASD2/3 started to skyrocket. There was no substantial change in alcohol use then, nor going forward. Most such theories fail to reconcile the unprecedented onset of severe ASD co-morbids in 1979.

One really has to investigate the reliability and sources in articles posted on the web.
If I were investigating this article, I would go back to the original Danishand Norwegian research. People who summarize others’ research often get it wrong.
Plus, in spite of admitting there is no correlation between maternal alcohol consumption and autism in the exposed child, they still make the claim that autism could be caused by maternal alcohol consumption. There are at least two conclusive statements for which they provide no documentation.
One needs to learn to read critically.
Oh, for heaven's sake. If you've studied law on your own, then surely you know that allegations in lawsuits are not evidence. They're just allegations. That's all.
All I can tell you is that it is as prevalent as diabetes on my mom's side of the family. My mom had it worse than me, which made being her kid ... interesting.
A simplified description of Polymorphism:
It's actually every pregnant woman's greatest fear - will my baby be normal? The truth is that no baby is "normal" as in a correct copy of the genetic material supplied. Mutations occur in almost every case. If this wasn't true then all of us would be carbon copies of our siblings, looking identical and having identical brains and identical characteristics. Most mutations are small, different coloured eyes or different hair, more freckles. A relatively common mutation is Albinism.
To simplify how this might work in an evolutionary sense consider a large cat living in the wild, it has several kittens from the one mating. Not all of those kittens will be identical. What if one of those kittens had slightly longer legs than it's siblings? If they lived on flat open plains where running speed was an advantage in hunting prey then the cat with longer legs would have an advantage, it would be more likely to survive and pass it's mutated genes on to it's offspring.
If however they lived in a more geologically complicated area such as large boulders, gullies and steep hills then having longer legs would not be an advantage. And if their most common prey was of a type that was likely to fight back then longer legs would be a distinct disadvantage - less power in longer limbs due to extra leverage imposed. In this type of situation the cat with longer legs would be less likely to survive and less likely to have any offspring that would inherit it's genes.
So in short - yes, autism is hereditary, but that doesn't account for all cases. It's also possible for two people with no autism in either of their family's histories to have autistic children.
