DESCRIPTION:Research exploring the causes of autism spectrum disorder has 
 increased significantly in recent years. This talk develops the concept of
  the maternal body as environment to describe how studies focused on envir
 onmental risk factors are producing women's bodies as sites of growing con
 sequence for understanding childhood difference today. I argue that this s
 cience reflects new spatial and temporal dimensions of parental responsibi
 lity\, and new ideas about the relationships between bodies and environmen
 ts in the post-genomic era.
