#2 Kennedy said at a press conference in Washington that autism is a preventable disease caused by environmental factors, with possibilities including mold, air, medicines, and the increase in the average age of parents. “We have really good genetic markers now, and they provide a vulnerability. But those genetic markers alone are not going to dictate your destiny. You need an environmental toxin,” he said.

that might be investigated because a lot of parents miss appointments and these are recorded
