Paper on wireless technology and ASDs

Post Reply New Topic

I just got finished reading through quite a long paper examining the various crossovers between exposure to electrical technology and observations in ASD research.

The last section has some very interesting recommendations, particularly that more research be done investigating the possibility that wireless technologies may be desynchronising the timing of cells in our brains and body clocks, leading to the exaggerated sleep disturbances and high stress levels (etc.) in people with ASDs.

It's a very technical read, so have a dictionary handy:

Findings in Autism (ASD) Consistent with Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and Radiofrequency Radiation (RFR)

Was interested to read your post, and will definitely check ou the reference. I have been trying to figure out the link between ASD and sleep disturbances. Looks like answers are already available!

Cool. Thanks, I've also been reading up lately on sensitivity to electromagnetic fields in general since that's often listed as related to Asperger's with little additional information.
