The team fears that the ubiquity of plastic products means avoiding BPA is a near-impossible task.

I don't think this is about making autistic people go away or find a "cure". Even if we eliminated all BPA magically, people are still going to be born with autism.

As the study explains, its probably only one element of how autism develops, but understanding how environmental toxins effect human development is important.

Autism is not a disease, illness or anything like that. Even if it is not your intention you are framing it that way
