Understanding the Causes of Autism: A Discussion on Genetics and Environment

In this video, the correlation between genetics, environment and neurodivergence is explored. Using autism as an example, it is explained that it's not one particular gene responsible but a combination of common genes that could lead to autism. The video emphasizes the diversity within autism spectrum, suggesting that this is why exact causality cannot be pinpointed. It's mentioned that research is ongoing to uncover the precise reasons for autism, although genetics is highlighted as the predominant factor. However, it's clarified that the situation is complex, with the genetic cause more dispersed than a single gene. The video concludes by explaining why diagnosis can't be made via MRI scans, but needs psychology assessments instead.
