Abstract: Autism is a center of attention both in research and the media. This review is mainly concerned with mechanistic involvement of electron transfer, reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress and antioxidants, in addition to cell signaling and genetic aspects. Pollution from the environment is a factor. The most sensitive stage is the fetus. The neuronal network in the brain plays an important role. Antioxidants can act in prevention or amelioration. Interaction between the various aspects is addressed. The effect of vaccine is discussed.
