If mercury plays any role in developmental
disabilities, the rate of disability should relate to any reliable
direct measure of contamination. The current research focuses on one
index of environmental mercury contamination. Specifically, mercury-related
fish advisories are found to be a surprisingly strong predictor of a
state’s autism rate, r = 0.48, p < 0.001. The relationship remains
strong after controlling for student to teacher ratio and per pupil
spending.
