What Most Autism Research Gets Wrong — and Why That Might Change

Martha Herbert, M.D., Ph.D, a pediatric neurologist, neuroscientist and autism researcher since 1995, said autism research must take a whole-body approach if it’s ever going to accurately capture the disorder’s complexity.

“Prior to the explosion of synthetic chemicals and synthetic wireless radiation in our world, environmental vulnerabilities would have caused many fewer problems. But with all the toxic, health-degrading exposures, more and more genomically vulnerable people are getting triggered into actual sickness. And combinations of exposures can make illnesses more complicated and worse.”

“I think that autism is a particularly strong ‘canary in the coal mine, because the numbers jumped so much starting in the late 1980s.”
