I found some research that indicated such - Autism may have an autoimmune metabolic component
(Back up copy ... adding my concern about BUTYL or 2-butoxyethanol)
which has been in widespread use since 1930s so we have multiple generations of chemically poisoned by a teratogen, a pesticide, a solvent, a neurotoxin.
I suspect it for the cause of military Syndromes, CFIDS, CFS, FM
Is Autism Autoimmune? (an MSN Group of info I've gathered)
autism-metabolic (A Yahoo group where I have posted about 12 messages)
So I strongly suspect the autoimmune metabolic causing chemical
which should be avoided by everyone at every age: Avoid BUTYL
This chemical targets boys in adverse affects even more than girls
One material safety data sheet on it indicated it targeted the testes,
so I think it should also be suspect the prostate cancer and other male concerns
Tired all the time? Consider this Info
Example and helps ... for those with the fatigue doctors don't find in CFIDS, CFS, FM
may be a direction to look in. Exposure to BUTYL will look like 'the flu' or 'a cold'
It is too strong in many cleaning products and paint, etc.
