Hi

Maybe since I studied in Edinburgh thats where I heard the name, Margaret. I wonder if he was involved with some recent work on Alzheimers, using video footage, photos etc which we recently had on our local news?? It was a really multimedia approach to memory and recall, interesting.

Thanks for the info, will definately put on my to buy list, Thanks to Natasa too would be good to read his unpublished work on Autism- Could both sides be right...

That's really interesting Margaret - will you let us know if you find

out any more info about the author? Sounds like he could be an

ally........strange that we havent heard of him before.

> ' Lathe has written a remarkable synthesis of the

biomedical evidence relevant to understanding the causes of autism

spectrum conditions. As an excellent scientist, he is concerned with

achieving an objectivity in his review of a very large number of

studies. He draws on evidence from the diverse fields of genetics,

endocrinology, immunology, toxicology, virology, and neuroscience, to

name just a few.

>

> There are few individuals with his grasp of the basic science

who could have pulled off such a masterly review. He balances his

theory of environmental (heavy metal toxicity) factors with a

recognition of genetic susceptibility factors. His book will be of

great value to researchers, as well as to parents or people with an

autism spectrum condition, who are interested in a serious summary of

the science of autism.'

> The increasing number of people being diagnosed with autism

spectrum disorders (ASDs) cannot simply be explained by changes in

diagnostic criteria or greater awareness of the condition. In this

controversial new book, Lathe contends that the recent rise in

cases of ASDs is a result of increased exposure to environmental

toxicity combined with genetic predisposition.

>

> Autism, Brain, and Environment proposes that autism is a

disorder of the limbic brain, which is damaged by toxic heavy metals

present in the environment. Lathe argues that most ASD children have

additional physiological problems and that these, far from being

separate from the psychiatric aspects of ASD, can produce and

exacerbate the condition.

>

> This important and groundbreaking text provides a

closely-argued scientific case for the involvement of both

environmental and physiological factors in autism. Lathe's argument

will also have a direct impact on treatment strategies and options. It

will be of great interest to the scientific community, professionals,

researchers, political and environmental lobbyists, teachers,

psychologists, and parents and people with ASDs.
