Abstract
We collected data on autism through social media outreach. We mapped maternal residence at conception of children with a confirmed diagnosis of autism and EPA toxic sites in New Jersey, which has a high prevalence of ASD per CDC surveillance. Distances to toxic sites are shorter than national averages.
