   Are phthalates a risk factor for autism?

   • In summary, the emerging literature on autism and persistent and non-persistent endocrine-disrupting compounds does not allow definitive conclusions regarding a role for PCBs, flame retardants, non-stick chemicals, or BPA, while results for phthalates are more suggestive that exposures to some phthalates may be risk factors for autism.

   Does xenobiotic exposure affect autism risk?

   • Failing to account for genetic susceptibilities may result in the missed identification of an environmental risk factor: If a genetically susceptible subgroup is combined with a non-susceptible group, the overall impact of the xenobiotic exposure on autism risk may be diluted or obscured.

   Does the environment cause autism?

   • Although a mere decade ago publications addressing the environment and autism could almost not be found, now epidemiological publications have examined the association of autism with estimates of exposure to tobacco, air pollutants, volatile organic compounds, metals, pesticides, and organic pollutants, such as plasticizers and non-stick chemicals.

   How many children with autism are in a case-control study?

   • These studies all took place in the U.S. and included case–control studies with controls sampled from a population base and one prospective cohort study. 70 The studies had adequate sample sizes (ranging from 284 to 7594 children with autism) and controlled for appropriate confounders such as maternal age and parents’ education level.
