Index.The increasing number of people being dignosed with autism spectrum disorders cannot simply be explained by changes in diagnostic criteria or greater awareness of the condition. Richard Lathe contends that the recent rise in cases of ASDs is a result of increased exposure to environmental toxicity combined with genetic factors.AutismEnvironmental aspectsAutismGenetic aspectsAutismPathogenesisEnvironmental toxicologyLimbic systemDiseasesElectronic books.AutismEnvironmental aspects.AutismGenetic aspects.AutismPathogenesis.Environmental toxicology.Limbic systemDiseases.616.8588207Lathe Richard962906MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450607003321Autism, brain, and environment2183359UNINA
