The Environmental and Genetic Causes of Autism delves
deep into the full body of past and current research to reveal how
genetic predispositions and environmental factors can combine to produce
the conditions autism and autism spectrum disorders (ASD).

To
make this groundbreaking volume, Dr. James Lyons-Weiler combed through
the past fifty years of published research on autism, exploring subjects
such as genetic variation, mechanisms of neurotoxicity of metals and
pesticides, and the central and combined roles of each in causing
autism.

Lyons-Weiler provides a major overview of all aspects of
the condition of autism, reviews changes in diagnoses and treatments,
and explains how genetic information can be used to tailor effective
treatments, and sometimes reversals, of the symptoms. He also presents
practical forward-looking suggestions on how to design future studies to
facilitate the discovery of biomarkers for autism risk and how to
classify the full range of autism spectrum disorders.

Autism is
considered one of the most mystifying conditions of our day, and alarmed
scientists, doctors, politicians, and parents are desperately trying to
understand why the condition is escalating. According to the CDC, rates
in the United States have risen from an estimated one in two thousand
children in 1980, to one in sixty-eight in 2012, and a new National
Health Interview Survey shows a rate of one in forty-five. By the time
you read this book, that number may have changed yet again.

While
most autism researchers focus on either environmental or genetic causes
of autism, Lyons-Weiler’s opus demonstrates that to fully
understand the condition and to finally put its rate on the decrease, it
is essential to pay attention to the science showing how the two
classes of factors interact.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND GENETIC CAUSES OF AUTISM is a comprehensive book that examines the complex interactions between environmental exposures and an individual's genes that can lead to a diagnosis of autism. I had the opportunity to read the manuscript as well as an advanced copy of this revolutionary book. Except in extremely rare cases, genes alone are not to blame. Without exposure to environmental assaults and toxins, the genes involved in the majority of cases would not have led to autism.

Without exposure to environmental assaults and toxins, the genes involved in the majority of cases would not have led to autism. The autism epidemic is man made.

Citing more than a thousand studies, CAUSES holds nothing back, defying political and corporate pressures to reveal the truth by showing HOW environmental exposures can and do cause autism. This book needs to be read by parents, doctors, pediatricians, politicians, and journalists, and immediate action must be taken to end the epidemic. ...more

Exhaustive comparison of multiple possible connections related to Autism. It would take a photographic memory to remember all discussed here. Big picture I got: multiple factors involved with ASD. To say Autism is purely genetic is ignorant, yet here we are as a society. Recommended reading for all. Although it is dizzying to listen (audiobook) at times to all the factors, it is necessary to see how little we understand or society cares to understand about Autism.

This author has lately emerged as a critic of vaccination which he blames for triggering autism. So it's not a surprise that "The Environmental and Genetic Causes of Autism" focuses heavily on his theories, which he attempts to back up with references to the scientific literature.

However, none of the papers to which he refers are referenced in the book, and the much greater and far more credible scientific literature establishing the safety and usefulness of vaccines goes unmentioned, except for This author has lately emerged as a critic of vaccination which he blames for triggering autism. So it's not a surprise that "The Environmental and Genetic Causes of Autism" focuses heavily on his theories, which he attempts to back up with references to the scientific literature.

However, none of the papers to which he refers are referenced in the book, and the much greater and far more credible scientific literature establishing the safety and usefulness of vaccines goes unmentioned, except for brief dismissals for alleged bias. Lyons-Weiler is quick to suggest that those with training and expertise in fields bearing on immunization (which he does not possess) are deceptive and/or pharma shills. Yet he gives a shout-out in the book to Andrew Wakefield, who lost his license to practice medicine due to poorly conducted and unethical research targeting the MMR vaccine, while collecting a large sum of money from a lawyers' group hoping to sue vaccine makers and attempting to patent a vaccine of his own which would have competed with the MMR.

While blaming vaccines and purported environmental toxins for autism, Lyons-Weiler pooh-poohs strong evidence that genetics are important in its development. Because there are multiple genes linked to autism and not a single chromosomal aberration causing most or all cases, he basically argues that genetics are unimportant. He is not convincing on this score.

Beyond its cherry-picking of research, endorsement of failed theories about vaccine "toxins" and character assassination of vaccine researchers and other medical professionals, this book is dismally hard to get through, employing dense scientific jargon that would slow down knowledgeable health care workers. Those with limited or no background in biology and medicine would probably find their eyes glazing over early on.
