What causes autism is a medical mystery that continues to baffle experts as they search high and low by conducting research studies to determine the culprit. While there are certainly plenty of theories floating around regarding what does and does not cause autism – there has never been anything definitely proven as a cause.
According to a new study published by The BMJ, children exposed to common pesticides in the womb or prior to turning a year old have a higher risk of developing the autism spectrum disorder.
While researchers and scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) who conducted the study wanted to clarify it is still too early to claim exposure to pesticide will actually cause a child to develop autism, this isn’t the first study to focus on how dangerous the exposure can be to early brain development.
