Has anyone seen or read anything re: the possibility of exposure of living in a newly constructed home as being a possible environmental cause of genetic mutation in the causation of Asperger's? I have read many papers that have stated a possible causation from Allele mutation as a possible cause of Asperger's. Neither my wife, myself or our families have any incidence of any Autism spectrum but our son (currently 12 yo) is "High Functioning Asperger's". My wife moved into her newly constructed home 1 month before becoming pregnant and my son was born the week we moved into my newly constructed house; i.e., so both his "incubation" and toddler years were spent in newly constructed homes containing all sorts of possible chemical irritants. I.E., my wife moved into her newly built home in November, she became pregnant within a month. 9 months later she moved into my newly built home and our son was born a week later. Just something that makes you got "Hmmmmmm". Anyone who may have read something connected to possible affects of construction "chemicals" being present that may affect developmental genetics is appreciated.
