New National Autism Baby Tooth Study

" There is a new national research study by Professor Jim (recently

on Dateline) to measure the level of toxic metals in baby teeth of

children with autism spectrum disorders and typically-developing

children (unrelated to those with autism). Baby teeth form during

pregnancy and the first few years of life, so they measure the total

exposure to toxic metals during that time. His pilot study (submitted

for publication) found that children with autism had 2-3x as much

mercury in their baby teeth as typical children. If you would like to

participate, please go to www.eas.asu.edu/~autism

<http://www.eas.asu.edu/%7Eautism> for more information and an

application form. There is a cost of $200 to participate in the study

for non-Arizona residents, but a limited number of scholarships are

available thanks to the Autism Research Institute. "
