The Age of Autism: Something Wicked -- 2

The idea of a "chemical connection" in many cases of autism arose
during the 1970s and 1980s, then gave way to gene-based theories. But
the time has come to revive it.
The last column highlighted a study by Thomas Felicetti, in the journal Milieu Therapy in 1981,

parents of retarded children and 20 parents of "normal" children who
were friends and neighbors of those attending the Avalon School in
Massachusetts where he taught at the time. child-autism-parent-cafe.com
