I'm not a doctor or scientist. I'm just a mom. But I do think there's a genetic predisposition, and there are environmental triggers. I feel like that combination, in my child's case, is what resulted...
My mom was an environmental activist in Australia in the late '60s and '70s, and I guess I've inherited that awareness from her.
