Possible causes of the increase of autism
Tomašovičová, Katarína ; Niederlová, Markéta (advisor) ; Draberová, Jana (referee)
This paper focuses on depicting potential causes of the increase in autism. The theoretical part includes a definition of autism, a historical development in the understanding of autism, a development of diagnostic criteria and their potential effect on autism prevalence. The differences between the global classification systems ICD and DSM are also described. Later, the difficulty of ASD diagnosis alone is discussed. The next section presents views on the etiology of autism which are divided into etiology on psychological basis, etiology based on genotype, and environmental etiology, according to operating factors. The last chapter of the theoretical part is for clarity devoted to the summary of the possible causes of the increase in autism. A research proposal which deals with advanced parental age as a risk factor of autism is also a part of the paper.
