Library Item Name:

School studied for environmental causes of autism 		   
Summary Statement:

Teachers at a Bergen County school that serves autistic children are giving birth to an unusually high number of autistic children, a researcher said.

Dr. Lawrence Rosen, medical adviser at the Deirdre Imus Environmental Center for Pediatric Oncology, said there appears to be an autism cluster at St. Anthony's school in Northvale, which serves children with autism and other learning disabilities.

He said he suspects it's because of an environmental problem and that the center, which started the inquiry, wants tests of air, water and soil at the school, The Record of Bergen County reported for Wednesday's newspapers.
