Autism, Brain, and Environment

Discover the groundbreaking insights of Richard Lathe in his thought-provoking book, Autism, Brain, and Environment, published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers in 2006. Spanning 288 pages, this compelling work delves into the controversial connection between environmental factors and the rising incidence of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs).

Lathe argues that the increase in ASDs is not merely a result of genetic predisposition but is significantly influenced by exposure to environmental toxins, particularly toxic heavy metals. He presents a compelling case that autism is fundamentally a disorder of the limbic brain, which can be adversely affected by these harmful substances.

This book is essential for anyone interested in child and developmental psychology, as well as the environmental aspects of neurological diseases. Gain a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between genetics and the environment in the context of autism with this insightful read.
