From Dr. Mary Catherine DeSoto This is in the context of broad disapproval and frustration within the autism community over NIH funding priorities. The general level of concern was documented by a 2008 letter signed by eleven major autism organizations (including Autism Speaks, Autism Research Institute, Safeminds, Autism Society of America, Generation Rescue, National Autism Association). The letter stated, Research on the environment, gene-environment interaction and treatment are underrepresented.... There seems to be great frustration among these groups and others that regardless of acts of Congress, directives or calls for serious investigation into how the environment triggers persons predisposed to autism, there is too much research focused on genetics to the detriment of studies of environmental triggers. ageofautism/2014/06/truth-environmental-toxins-not-good-fit-for-nih-autism-research.html
