The perils of plastic. By Walsh Time Magazine 1 April 2010

Chemicals in plastics and other products seem harmless, but mounting evidence links them to health problems — and Washington lacks the power to protect us. Scientists are discovering that even tiny quantities of contaminants can have a potentially serious impact on our health — and our children's future. Chemicals like bisphenol A and phthalates — key ingredients in modern plastics — may disrupt the delicate endocrine system, leading to developmental problems. A host of modern ills that have been rising unchecked for a generation — obesity, diabetes, autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder — could have chemical connections.

Thank you for posting this interesting article. I have yet to read it all, there is a lot to learn, but there have to be many reasons for all of the maladies we face today that were nowhere near as prevalent when I was young. Perhaps, there are some things we can change in our behaviors to undo some of the problems...who knows? As always, I am inspired by all who post here for whatever the reason. We, families of those with ASD are a family now. We speak in shorthand. We understand each other and wish each of us and our children well. We learn from each others successes and share what seem like disappointments. I love you all and hope that at the end of each day you know how lucky your children are to have you!

All the best,
