Autism Causes & Risk Factors

Family History

Children in those families with a history of some brain conditions would be at high risk of having autism. The more closely related a member with these symptoms is, the more likely the kid would have autism. This is especially true when you have a brother or sister who is dealing with this mental issue. In addition, it is quite common for relatives or parents of a kid with autism to have some minor issues with communication or social skills themselves. [3]
