Inflammation can be caused by many reasons. With autistic children, they often have an immune dysregulation that causes the body to be more pro-inflammatory or immune deficient or a combination of both. Simple things such as a simple virus and allergies can cause extreme inflammation in these kids. I suggest watching a video from the Cleveland clinic called “immunological issues in individuals with autism” (especially part 2). In this video, a researcher from UC Davis Child Mind Institute delves into what can cause this inflammation (e.g., the kids cells can react multiple times higher compared to their neurotypical peers with simple things such as flame retardants) and what this should mean to practitioners and parents.
He says that some genes may be related to both brain inflammation and neurotypes like autism, not that brain inflammation causes autism. It is much more common for an autistic person to experience brain inflammation than it is for a random child.
This is fantastic!
and what causes that inflammation, pls?!
A number of environmental factors (certain xenobiotics) and (redacted).
Maybe the 72 vaccines that children get before 5
Carb based diet.
I found this so insightful. But, nowhere does it mention what causes the inflammation?
Pollutants, infections, toxins, heavy metals combined with genes possibly
Sugar and carbs
