Although my son is not on the autistic spectrum, I have found that many of the techniques that help autistic children also help my son. I feel a real kinship with parents of children with autism, and have read as much as I can about what parents are doing to heal their autistic children.

Heavy Metal Toxicity and Autism, PDD and ADHD – article by Sonya Doherty (ND), including fascinating results from scientific studies. For example “A ground breaking study in 2009, done by researchers at the University of Texas, revealed startling evidence of the environment’s role in autism. The objective the study was to determine if proximity to sources of mercury pollution in 1998 were related to autism prevalence in 2002. The findings showed that for every 1000 pounds of industrial release, there were a corresponding 2.6% increase in autism rates and a 3.7% increase associated with power plant emissions. For every 10 miles from industrial or power plant sources, there is a decrease in autism rates.“
