Multicausality:

       I don't tend to remember everything in my old college textbooks and most of my most used knowledge comes from life experience, but one word is sticking out. In my first week of "Introduction to Human Services", a course I took well over a decade ago, we were told about the theory of multicausality. In other words something can have many causes. If more people were to remember this, we wouldn't have so many arguments over opposing theories and separating "fact from myth" when discussing the causes of Autism and many other things. I'm not saying everything has multiple causes but it's good to be open to the idea that most things do.
