Listen to this recording for\u00a0a discussion on what environmental exposures may be involved in autism, how environmental exposures may impact people with autism, and why chemicals policy reform is necessary to protect public health.\u00a0Autism is a complex disorder with varying expression in individuals. While genetic research has demonstrated that autism has a strong hereditary component, there is increasing research on the possible role of environmental exposures. Join Dr. Martha Herbert of Harvard Medical School for a discussion of emerging science on how exposures to toxic chemicals may contribute to autism and other health and brain conditions. One way this can occur is through affecting physiology and brain function, starting during early development and continuing throughout the lifespan. Some chemicals that are widely used in consumer products are considered highly likely to contribute to autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders, yet they have not undergone even minimal assessment of potential toxicity. Maureen Swanson of the Learning Disabilities Association of America (LDA) will discuss how you can advocate for policy changes that will protect children from these harmful chemicals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/akaction.org\/Tackling_Toxics\/Alaska\/CHE-AK_Info_Pages\/2013\/03_06_2013.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[216,234],"tags":[76,22,78,79,80,81,28,23,82,83,84,85,29,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,34,94,95,24,67,96,97,98],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akaction.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akaction.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akaction.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akaction.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akaction.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.akaction.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14291,"href":"https:\/\/www.akaction.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12\/revisions\/14291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akaction.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akaction.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akaction.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
