This is a recurring issue in both life and medicine. In the research we now see preventative measures developed to reduce the risk of cancer, we also see how some interventions are only effective when started very early. In the case of autism we have seen than often it is caused by a myriad of factors that by themselves might have been harmless but when taken together are the multiples hits that caused the brain to develop differently.
