Title:

Metal Profiles in Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Crosstalk between Toxic and Essential Metals

 

Objective: 

To explore the association between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and metal exposure, particularly toxic metals, and their potential impact on ASD development.

 

Results: 

The study found higher levels of certain metals, such as mercury, in individuals with ASD compared to controls. This suggests a potential link between metal exposure and ASD.

 

Conclusion:

The findings support a correlation between metal toxicity and ASD, indicating the need for further research on environmental factors in ASD risk.
