Scientists Discover Toxic Risk For Autism Children
A study revealed there’s a difference in how children with autism or ADHD clear the common plastic additive bisphenol A (BPA), compared to neurotypical children.
They found that kids with ASD and ADHD couldn’t clear out BPA and another similar compound called Diethylhexyl Phthalate (DEHP) with as much efficiency as other kids, potentially leading to longer exposure to their toxic effects.
“Detoxification of these two plasticizers is compromised in children with ASD and ADHD,” wrote the researchers in their published paper. “Consequently, their tissues are more exposed to these two plasticizers.”
It was only in the case of BPA that the difference was statistically significant though: the efficiency was reduced by about 11 percent for kids with ASD and 17 percent for kids with ADHD, compared with the control group of children.
Work is continuing to identify how exactly ASD and ADHD develop in people – whether it’s in utero before birth for example, or later on in life – as the data isn’t enough to show whether BPA exposure causes either disorder.
“There is an extensive body of epidemiological evidence for a relationship between neurodevelopmental disorders and environmental pollutants such as plasticizers,” the researchers wrote.
“How important plasticizer originated neurodevelopmental disorder is in the overall occurrence of these disorders is not known, but it must account for a significant proportion or would not have been so easy to detect in a metabolic study of moderate size such as this study.”

Amazing the number of people who can relate this back to excess vaccinations.

Such people are wired differently, though no less intelligent. They are born that way for a reason. Not that the arena of science ever takes notice of such claims. Or should I say, is purposefully ignorant of…

RFK jr. thinks vaccines are implicated and notes there is a within 48 hour injury category after vaccines. I certainly know of injuries and deaths after C19 jabs, one death in particular of a 30 year old male, previously healthy, within 2 hours of the second booster.
