Autism Enigma (The)

Autism is the fastest rising developmental disorder in the industrialized world. With an astounding 600% Autism increase in the last 20 years, scientists are still grappling with it’s cause. Research is inconclusive, but the emerging theme is that autism is triggered by environment, not genetics, and that our toxic lifestyle is now proving too much for children to bear. "The Autism Enigma" looks at the progress of an international group of scientists examining the gut’s amazingly diverse, and powerful microbial ecosystem for clues to the baffling disorder, and the extraordinary efforts of parents who have been relentlessly pushing science forward in hopes of finding answers for their children’s condition.
