Autism, Brain and Environment

Autor Richard Lathe
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mai 2006
In this controversial new book, Lathe contends that the recent rise in cases of ASDs is a result of increased exposure to environmental toxicity combined with genetic predisposition. He proposes that autism is a disorder of the limbic brain, which is damaged by toxic heavy metals present in the environment.
