A recent study led by researchers at the University of Florida and Linköping University has found a link between disrupted gut flora in early childhood and the later development of ASD, ADHD, communication disorder, and intellectual disability. Analyzing data from the All Babies in Southeast Sweden study, which followed over 16,000 children from birth into […]
Research Finds Significantly More Chemicals in Baby Teeth of Children with ASD Compared to Neurotypical Children
Authors Propose Differences in Xenobiotic Metabolism as Cause of Chemical Variances Between Groups Another new study led by researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio has analyzed deciduous (baby) teeth from 22 ASD-diagnosed children and 20 typically developing children. Deciduous teeth act as significant indicators of chemical exposure during fetal […]
Parents Who Avoid Toxic Exposures May Reduce the Risk of ASD and ADHD in Their Future Children
Mothers and Fathers with High Chemical Intolerances Are More Likely to Have Children with Neurodevelopmental Disorders A study led by researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio suggests that parents can reduce the risk of their children developing autism and ADHD by avoiding toxic exposures and adopting preventive interventions like […]

A new scientific article has highlighted the significant association between sleep/wake rhythm abnormalities in infancy and early childhood and the future development of ASD. Abnormalities in circadian rhythms, which control essential life support systems like hormone secretion, energy metabolism, and immune function, are closely related to ASD’s clinical manifestations, including sleep disorders, epilepsy, and language […]
Unhealthy Dietary Patterns During Pregnancy Linked to Neurodevelopmental Disorders in 10-Year-Old Children
Strongest Association Found in Early Pregnancy Diet In a comprehensive study involving the COPSAC2010 mother-child cohort, Danish researchers identified significant links between an unhealthy dietary pattern during pregnancy and the development of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism diagnoses, as well as associated symptom severity in 10-year-old children. These findings were validated in two other independent […]
Thimerosal Exposure Linked to Neurological Impairments, Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Oxidative Stress, and Altered Neurotransmitter Levels
Injuries Caused by Exposure Can Lead to Long-Term Cognitive and Motor Deficits New research from Brazil has investigated the effects of thimerosal (TM), a mercury-containing compound used as a preservative or antiseptic in certain vaccines, skin test antigens, antivenins, ophthalmic and nasal products, and tattoo inks, on young Wistar rats, which were bred to be […]
