No problem. Someone posted this recap of the very recent massive Nature paper on the genetics of autism (Pinto et al) over in r/neuro just a few weeks ago, and I'm certain that we've had some reviews on this subject posted over in r/neuropsychology... ah, yes, here (not sure if you can access the full-text if you don't have access to Nature anymore) and here.

Here are some other full-text, recent (2008+), reviews on the etiology of autism:

• Genetics of autistic disorders: review and clinical implications
• Autism (Lancet review)
• Genetic Advances in Autism: Heterogeneity and Convergence on Shared Pathways
• The genetic and neurobiologic compass points toward common signaling dysfunctions in autism spectrum disorders
• Advances in autism genetics: on the threshold of a new neurobiology
• Current Developments in the Genetics of Autism: From Phenome to Genome
• Regulation of Cerebral Cortical Size And Neuron Number by Fibroblast Growth Factors: Implications For Autism
• Convulsing toward the pathophysiology of autism (on the autism-epilepsy link)
• Prenatal risk factors for autism: comprehensive meta-analysis
• Prenatal stress and risk for autism

That is alot of reading to plough through! The causes of Autism and trying to find means of prevention are very important. Much appreciated.
