1. • • Environmental chemical exposures are increasingly understood to be important in causing autism, with current theories positing that autism is caused by the interplay of multiple genetic and environmental contributions that differ from individual to individual. 4, 5 While initial studies suggested a strong genetic heritability of autism, recent studies with larger sample sizes have demonstrated a lesser influence, including a study of over 14,000 children with autism in Sweden that demonstrated a...

   Are chemicals causing autism?

   • The volume of questions that remain are staggering, constituting an important gap in pediatric health. The number of chemicals not yet studied is large—chemicals that are widely detectable in humans and have animal or mechanistic evidence of the endocrine, immune, epigenetic, and other pathophysiologies that may be involved in causing autism.

   Do pesticides cause autism?

   • Importantly, many pesticides have not been studied in relation to autism, though most give rise to neurotoxicity. 143 Continued study of varying pesticides, combinations, and developmental windows is necessary to substantiate the current evidence of the deleterious effects of pesticide exposure.

   Prenatal viral infection has been called the principal non-genetic cause of autism. Prenatal exposure to rubella or cytomegalovirus activates the mother's immune response and may greatly increase the risk for autism in mice. Congenital rubella syndrome is the most convincing environmental cause of autism.
