"and so" is perfectly valid as a conjunction for implying causation. "Thus" would be a synonym. It fits better than "and also" which doesn't imply causation and so isn't the right word.

Yeah, but at least where I live, using "and so" or "thus" is less common than "and also" so weirdly enough their comment helped me get it. Lol.
