Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Recent research has highlighted the interplay between genetic predisposition and environmental triggers in the development of ASD. Understanding the contributions of these factors is essential for early diagnosis, intervention, and treatment. This article explores the genetic and environmental influences on ASD, examining current research findings, potential risk factors, and future directions in ASD research. The discussion emphasizes the necessity of a multifactorial approach in understanding ASD etiology and improving support for affected individuals.
