Researchers have found a possible link to a child being exposed to a certain pollutant within their first year of life and an ASD diagnosis. They are continuing to collect data on this case. ]]> 2021-11-19 17:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/riley_horne326/35yfnr19pts8yjf0/wish/1902659902 riley_horne326 https://padlet.com/riley_horne326/35yfnr19pts8yjf0/wish/1902665897 Autism Society of America was founded in 1965 by a group of parents.
