De façon alarmante, dans la majorité des cas, les causes des TSA sont largement inconnues.
Bien que les recherches aient porté sur l'identification des anomalies génétiques, les études émergentes suggèrent de plus en plus que le dysfonctionnement immunitaire est un facteur de risque viable contribuant aux déficits neurodéveloppementaux observés dans le TSA.

Abstract
Auism spectrum disorder
(ASD) now affects one in 68 births in the United States and is the
fastest growing neurodevelopmental disability worldwide. Alarmingly, for
the majority of cases, the causes of ASD are largely unknown, but it is
becoming increasingly accepted that ASD is no longer defined simply as a
behavioral disorder, but rather as a highly complex and heterogeneous biological disorder.
Although research has focused on the identification of genetic
abnormalities, emerging studies increasingly suggest that immune
dysfunction is a viable risk factor contributing to the
neurodevelopmental deficits observed in ASD. This review summarizes the
investigations implicating autoimmunity and autoantibodies in ASD.
