Abstract

Two neurodevelopmental disorders, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), become apparent in infancy and have diverse prognoses.

Both genetic and environmental risk factors contribute to the emergence of ASD and ADHD. Such environmental risk factors include nutrient deficiencies, heavy metals, alcohol, diesel exhaust particles, residual organic pollutants, pesticides and agricultural chemicals in the womb and during neonatal period as well as exposure to digital devices during early infancy.

The author will discuss how these findings should be interpreted from the perspective of child psychiatry and epidemiology.
