Abstract
Although the etiology of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is largely uncertain, the neurological basis of the symptoms is clearly established. Autism begins early in embryogenesis and has genetic origins. This chapter presents a variety of theories of the etiology of ASD and examines the genetic background that may allow for the neurological deficits that lead to ASD.
