		<description><![CDATA[As far as researchers know, there is no single identifiable cause of autism. The working theory is that there are multiple causes of autism, some environmental and some genetic. Evidence published in 2011 suggests that abnormalities in brain structure and biochemical makeup may be to blame, or at least may be an indicator that a [...]]]></description>

When the mountaintops are blasted to get to the coal below, mercury, lead, arsenic and other toxins are released into the air.

Though each profile focused on an individual, the experiences of those individuals represent the struggles of many. For example, 28 year-old Alex Jordan described feeling like a prisoner due to her autism. Through the UK’s universal healthcare she likely received autism therapy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Currently, autism is diagnosed based on behavioral symptoms. There is no definitive biological test that can be performed to say “yes your child has autism” or “no your child does not have autism. Thankfully, autism research is being done to identify genetic markers. Finding genetic markers will help in two ways: first, it will help [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thimerosal had been used since the 1930s as a preservative in hundreds of drugs and vaccines. The FDA has since worked with vaccine producers to eliminate the use of thimerosal in favor of mercury-free preservatives. As of October 2010, the only vaccine for children containing thimerosal is the flu shot; the flu mist is thimerosal-free. [...]]]></description>
