My relatives were giving me some sad news regarding other relatives who have been diagnosed with #autism .

At some point in my life including now, I thought I had autism or ADHD. I told them to not be sad, that autism is not the end of the world. Its at least a better state than having other mental problems.

But now I also do wonder if autism is like an autoimmune disease triggered by UV light, or temperature changes etc etc...is it a new desease we don't know the origins of? Is it a virus?
