Agent Orange Exposure and Autism

[Guest guest]

Can anyone tell me if there have been studies linking Autism to Agent

Orange exposure, specifically linking Autism to grandchildren of

Vietnam veterans?

Thank you for any information you can provide.

Please understand, agent orange (2-4-D and 2-4-5-T) were not exclusively used in

vietnam. In fact, there was controversy caused in the 70's because surplus

agent orange was being used in the states. Dioxin appeared to be the main

culprit as a mutagen and teratogen, but other possibilities also exist.

I'm aware of that. In my particular case I am looking for

information linking autism to grandchildren of Vietnam veterans who

were exposed to agent orange during their tour. I lost my father to

cancer in 2000... cancer caused by his exposure to agent orange in

Vietnam. I want to know more about the possibility of the effects

being passed down to subsequent generations. The only government

confirmed effect I've been able to find so far is spina bifida. I

want to know if there are any ongoing studies being done to link

autism to agent orange exposure.
