Comment Increased Exposure...? (Score 1) 356
I have to wonder if it would be a more accurate link between the amount of time a child spent in near proximity to vinyl flooring and not just whether or not the household had it.
In other words, if children who spend more time sitting in their homes, crawling the floor, etc, are more prone to Autism than children who spend a greater percentage of their time outdoors.
Additionally, I wonder if a similar correlation exists if there is extensive parental exposure to phthalates prior to conception.
