The timing of exposure appears crucial, with heightened vulnerability during prenatal development and early childhood when critical neurodevelopmental processes occur.
The research suggests that individuals with genetic predisposition to ASD may be more vulnerable to the harmful effects of air pollution exposure
The implications extend beyond individual health to public policy. How might cities need to adapt their urban planning to protect vulnerable populations? What role could air quality monitoring play in prenatal care?
Actually I don’t see why anything would be done to orevent development of autism, when not much was done for all the already known damage that actual urban development cause

I would appreciate low functioning autism being cured. It is a hellish existence for a lot of people.
