https://www.madinamerica.com/2022/01/socioeconomic-class-affects-therapy/

“People from lower socioeconomic and ethnic minority backgrounds typically experience a higher number of adverse life events, more ‘generic life stressors’ of modern life (such as debt), and more significant psychological distress. Nevertheless, most therapeutic interventions have been developed to address the issues and concerns of the educated middle class, and symptom complaints are treated differently in clients of different socioeconomic statuses. …”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35037687/

Multiple co-occurring UFAs were significantly more prevalent among ASD cases. UFAs in the urinary system, heart, and head & brain were the most significantly associated with ASD diagnosis. ASD females had significantly more UFAs than ASD males and a higher prevalence of multiple co-occurring UFAs. … ASD fetuses were characterized by a narrower head and a relatively wider ocular-distance … UFAs were associated with more severe ASD symptoms. …“

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34994472/ [Open Access]

Research suggests that autistic adults experience higher rates of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared to the general population. … It has been posited that core features of the symptomology and genetic aetiology of autism may increase the risk of trauma exposure. …

In the general population, the experience of trauma has been identified as a risk factor for subsequent psychiatric difficulties, including the development of PTSD, depression, and anxiety. …

Prenatal exposure to organophosphate pesticides and autism spectrum disorders in 11-year-old children in the French PELAGIE cohort

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35500857/

Organophosphate (OP) pesticides act by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase activity at synaptic junctions and have already been linked with deleterious effects on neurodevelopment, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD). … These findings suggest an increase in autistic traits among 11-year-old children in association with prenatal maternal exposure to chlorpyrifos and possibly diazinon. These associations were previously suspected in the literature, in particular for chlorpyrifos. Further work establishing the causal mechanisms behind these risk association is needed.“

Central Nervous System Metabolism in Autism, Epilepsy and Developmental Delays: A Cerebrospinal Fluid Analysis

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35629876/

“…Amino acid and energy metabolism pathways were most disrupted in all disorders, but the source of the disruption was different for each disorder. Disruption in vitamin and one-carbon metabolism was associated with DD and EPI, lipid pathway disruption was associated with EPI and redox metabolism disruption was related to ASD. Two microbiome metabolites were also detected in the CSF: shikimic and cis-cis-muconic acid. Overall, this study provides increased insight into unique metabolic disruptions in distinct but overlapping neurodevelopmental disorders.“
