- Stop Autism Now is a book by Dr. Bruce Fife that addresses neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation in children. — Coconut Oil and Ketones in Neurological Treatment
- ASD incidence has risen from approximately 1 in 5,000–10,000 in 1970 to 1 in 38 nationally, a greater than 125-fold increase in 50 years. — The Growing Brain: Upstream Causes of the Neurodevelopmental Crisis
- The rapid rise in ASD cannot be explained by genetics alone because natural selection operates across generations, not within half a century; the change is epigenetic and environmental. — The Growing Brain: Upstream Causes of the Neurodevelopmental Crisis
- ASD risk results from a multi-hit model where multiple simultaneous subthreshold insults combine to push the developing brain past a tipping point; addressing only one while leaving others unaddressed provides incomplete protection. — The Growing Brain: Upstream Causes of the Neurodevelopmental Crisis
- Brain inflammation is a consistently documented finding in autism. — Autism, Vaccines, and the Aluminum Question
- US autism prevalence increased approximately 280-fold from 1980 to 2023, rising from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 36. — Autism, Vaccines, and the Aluminum Question
- A 2023 Duke University predictive model achieved 90% specificity for ASD at 30 days of age, indicating most causative insults occur in utero during the first 10 months of pregnancy. — The Growing Brain: Upstream Causes of the Neurodevelopmental Crisis
- ASD sits on a continuum with ADHD, behavioral disorders, attention problems, language delays, and executive function deficits, all of which are rising in parallel. — The Growing Brain: Upstream Causes of the Neurodevelopmental Crisis
- Dr. Coimbra treats autism as having two overlapping mechanisms: an autoimmune component and aluminum toxicity. — The Coimbra Protocol: High-Dose Vitamin D3 for Autoimmune Disease
- Autism involves mechanisms that impair the brain's ability to use glucose as fuel. — Best Diet for Autism
