THE AUTISM PUZZLE: CONNECTING THE DOTS BETWEEN ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS AND RISING AUTISM RATES

Book ID/图书代码： 12070012B51795

English Summary/英文概要： The alarming spike in autism in recent years has sent doctors and parents on a search for answers. While many controversies have erupted, none have brought researchers any closer to a definitive explanation. The Autism Puzzle is the first book to address the compelling evidence that it is the pairing of environmental exposures with genetic susceptibilities that may be driving these rising rates. Belli examines the lives of three families with autistic children, putting a human face on the families caught between the debates and offers a refreshingly balanced perspective.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 近年来，自闭症惊人的增长再次给医疗人员及父母们敲响了警钟，迫使他们再度踏上找寻疗法的道路。尽管人们一直在各类说法上争论不休，却始终没有一种解释能够向前更近一步。《自闭症之谜》(The Autisim Puzzle)首次提出了一种相当有趣的说法，认为自闭症发病率的不断攀升是两方面共同作用的结果：一是生活环境的影响，另一方面便是基因对此类疾病易感性的遗传作用。贝利(Belli)仔细研究了三个自闭症病患儿童的家庭环境，一视同仁的关怀三个家庭，从而能够在这三个家庭陷入争论之时，一针见血的从兼顾多方的视角提出对孤独这一难题的看全新见解。(DC & CK)
