Exposome Dimensions and ADHD and Autism

Key dimensions in the conceptualization of the exposome include places, exposures, actors, activities, social practices, and life stages, with a focus on how these elements interrelate. Pre-perinatal exposure in connection with ADHD and Autism, revealed that physical variables raked higher (being more important), than social exposome. Low birth weight is indicated as a mediator in these relationships.
