I guess there is really no definitive answer on the cause, but I see your point. Thanks for taking the time. |
toxins can effect a child in utero, long before birth. Those born with autism could still have gotten it as a result of toxic exposure. They just got the exposure earlier than those who regressed.
Granted not every child exposed to the same toxins gets autism; genetics likely plays a part here.
I guess the questions, as they relate to this post, would be:
a.) did the children with autism chose to be exposed to toxins?
b.) did they chose a to inhabit a brain/body that would be adversly affected by such exposure?
I think it's quite possible that autism is induced 100% by toxins/environmental factors. If this were the case, who is responsible? A society that refuses to clean up after itself? Those in charge of said society who have the power to change this but because of their free will (desire for profit) don't?
Lots of interesting questions arise when you bring up the autism epidemic.
