| Summary: | Autism (AU) is a developmental disability identified by a substantial deficiency in communication and social interaction. The cause of Au is not known yet. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if exposure to lead, zinc and copper can affect causinAutismsm. In this study, 54 children diagnosed with AU were involved. Ninety (90) % of them were under the age of three years, and 10% were over the age of three years in the Nasiriyah Autism Centre 2019-2020. The results revealed that lead and copper levels did not affect the female children as much as males.On the other hand, the zinc levels showed a significant statistical difference between female and male. The lead, zinc and copper level did not have any impact on the children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Lead, zinc, and copper were recognised as one of the chief causes for Autism in Children in Thi-Qar Province. The children who were exposed to substantial metal metabolism and the environment in Thi-Qar province were affected by AU or ASD. |
