Epidemiological studies have found 2 significant factors associated with the increased incidence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD): the increased use of acetaminophen in the 1970s when this drug largely replaced the use of aspirin for many patients because of a fear of Reye syndrome, and the agricultural use in the 1990s of the herbicide glyphosate on crops that were genetically modified (GM) to tolerate glyphosate. The incidence of autism in the United States, where acetaminophen is widely available, is more than 1000 times greater than in Cuba, where acetaminophen is available only by prescription. Metabolites of both glyphosate and acetaminophen likely alter the function of the developmental protein sonic hedgehog (SHH).
