Fearmongering clickbait title. Should be "positive correlation found between ADHD/ASD diagnoses and inhibited metabolism of BPA". The trick is that ADHD and ASD are already known to be genetic. So it's way more likely that the genetic variation that contributes to ADHD/ASD coincidentally also contributes to a reduction in our ability to metabolize BPA. Not that BPA causes ADHD/ASD.
