An Infamous Chemical Has Been Strongly Linked To Autism

The infamous pesticide DDT has been further implicated as a possible trigger for the development of autism spectrum disorder by an international group of epidemiologists and psychiatrists studying children who were exposed in utero.

Their findings, now published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, present the first evidence of a link between the banned chlorine-based chemical and the neurological condition that was drawn from cases where the mother was confirmed to have DDT in her body – past research has relied on estimated exposures calculated by each woman’s residential proximity to DDT-polluted areas.

If this is true why didn't we have an Autism explosion in the US decades ago before Rachel Carson's bullshit got DDT banned? And besides, haven't we been told by numerous celebrity experts that vaccines were responsible for autism

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
