Together they are broadly referred to as autism spectrum disorders (ASD) (APA, 2000). [Pg.14]

It is often difficult to ascribe neurodevelopmental deficits to chemical exposure only. Genetic makeup predisposes some individuals to chemical insult effects. Autism and ADHD are two prominent examples of developmental conditions that fit such a hypothesis. Both affect large numbers of children and their prevalences can be linked to environmental chemical exposures. These are discussed in the following chapters. [Pg.331]
