My opinion is the latter. We already suspect that toxins during pregnancy increases the baby's chance of developing autism. Also, babies conceived during the winter months are more likely to be autistic - a possible link to vitamin D deficiency in the mom at time of conception. Though as far as I know, Vitamin D doesn't play a role in methylation specifically, but it does play a role in the immune system. Immune system also helps our bodies deal with toxins.
I'm of no use to you. You know more about it than I do .. and for good reasons.
