Determine the effect of at least five environmental factors

Uhm, don’t they have those already? Like, prenatal rubella exposure, prenatal valproic acid exposure, prenatal alcohol exposure, prenatal misoprostol exposure, maternal age and paternal age? Are they saying they want to know exactly how 5 different environmental factors work to cause autism? I doubt they can find any post-natal “environmental factors” as in “toxins” that are associated with autism. I wonder how much of the budget would have to go into chasing something like that that might not exist?
