I am a student who recently finished up a research paper about pesticide use and its health consequences on children and adults. My research indicated there is a very direct relationship between pesticide exposure and autism in children. I encourage parents to look beyond immunizations when trying to protect their child's health. The growing body of research about immunizations does not really support a link to autism. Whether you immunize your children or not, children are still unfortunately exposed to HUNDREDS of pesticides through the food that they eat, and at parks and fields where they play. I strongly encourage all parents to look into pesticide exposure and the connection to autism.
