Bilim adamlarının otizmi çevresel sebeplere bağlamaları
ilk değildir. 2009 yılında, Hertz-Picciotto ve Kamu Sağlık
Bilimleri UC Dais Bölümünden Lora Delwiche gelişimsel
bozukluklarla ilgili 17 yıllık devlet verilerini analiz etmiştir.
Kaliforniya Üniversitesi'nde epidemiyoloji profesörü Irva
Hertz – Picciotto şöyle demiştir. " Kaliforniya'da otizm
oranının dikkat çekici bir artışı ile ilgili çevresel
faktörlerde suç arama zamanı geldi." (2)
Çevremiz, beyin gelişimini değiştiren nörogelişimsel
toksinlerle doludur. Civa, Poliklorine difenil, kurşun,
bromlu alev geciktiriciler ve böcek ilaçları pek çok
örnekten bir kaçıdır. Tabi Insektisit ve herbisitleri unutmamak gerekir.
