The etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has not yet been completely elucidated. Through time, multiple attempts have been made to uncover the causes of ASD. Different theories have been proposed, such as that it is caused by “Gods Wrath,” alternations in the gut–brain axis with an emphasis on gut dysbiosis, post vaccine complications, and genetic or even autoimmune causes. In this review we present data covering over 170 000 participants at age ranging from 2 to 14 years focusing on human cell changes rather than using animal models found in previous studies. The male/female ratio was 4:1. Data collection occurred in many countries covering ethnically diversified subjects. Moreover, we aim to show how the progress in genetic techniques influence the explanation found in medical White Papers based on the human genetic samples we have observed from our studies
