Autism

A friend just shared this. "One reason why more boys than girls are affected by austism is girls have more estrogen and estrogen filters the mercury."

Perhaps this is why there is a problem of estrogen dominance? Is it a protection against mercury similar to yeast encapsulating mercury?

I hope someone can find some more info about this.


While it is true that autism affects more boys than girls, it is equally true that there are ten times more men with genius level IQs than women. So, I doubt that mecury and estrogen will provide simple answers.
