Today 1 in 31 children are being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, an increase of nearly five-fold since 2000 when the CDC first began tracking the condition. While the causes of autism remain controversial, research indicates as much as 40-50% of an individual’s autism can be attributed to environmental factors. A STONE UNTURNED explores the latest research around a possible environmental trigger for autism and autism related symptoms, specifically excessive screen time exposure for children under the age of 3 years.
