Autism spectrum or autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has three primary forms:

- Asperger syndrome
- Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS).

It does have a strong genetic component, but like most health conditions dietary and environmental factors play a huge role in whether the genetic predisposition will manifest and to what severity.
