Children who are diagnosed with autism generally have problems in three crucial areas of brain development characterized by impairment of social interaction, language, and repetitive or restricted behavior.

According to a report published on WebMD.com (January 8, 2009), autism in California has increased eightfold in the last ten years.

The symptoms of autism vary. The most severe form of is marked by a complete inability to communicate or interact with others. Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) includes related conditions with less severe cognitive impairment.

Exposure to toxins in the environment can be related to autism, especially if a child is genetically predisposed to this disorder. Children with autism are often found to have high amounts of heavy metals in their systems.

There are numerous chemicals in the environment that we’re exposed to on a daily basis including:  hormones and antibiotics in food, pesticides, unhealthy air and drinking water, car exhaust, plastics containing dangerous chemicals, certain medications and drugs.

Some types of Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) found in electrical equipment, fluorescent lighting, and other products; produce developmental neurotoxins. While they are no longer produced in the U.S. the substance can still be detected in the environment.

Since children are more sensitive to chemicals, chronic intake of certain substances can be harmful to their health. Children at risk or who have ASD may be especially vulnerable because their ability to metabolize and detoxify certain substance is compromised.
