I would say that the "neurological damage" is used deliberately here and meant practically.

If an organism (especially at a fragile developmental state) is repeatedly flooded with cocktails of powerful hormones as the result of severe energy disturbances then STRUCTURAL damage results.

This has been one of my greatest annoyances with scientific research as is.

They find STRUCTURAL damage in the systems (in the brain, in the neurology, even in the bones!) and then declare that the structural damage is the CAUSE for disease x, y and z.

It isn't.

What caused the structural damage in the FIRST PLACE is what is the cause of disease x, y and z.

An example of this is the research that led to HGH sales explosion, which noted that old people have less HGH in their systems.

But what is the cause of that?

HGH is only produced in deep sleep - and these people aren't sleeping because of an adrenaline overload.

De-stress them during the day and they start producing HGH again naturally.

And here we are back with increasing the complexity to find the real answer.

It's not the changes in the brain that cause autism, but whatever it is that causes the changes in the brain.

And that's usually not a single "it" but a whole heap of "thems", Dr Dodd's threshold theory of disease which I subscribe to absolutely.

Modern drug treatments tend to try and reverse the physical results of an ongoing process but without doing anything about the ongoing process which causes the physical results in the first place.

Which is short sighted and not effective in the long run.

And the whole thing comes about because of a systemic thinking problem in the scientific community, who are trying to reduce the complexity of natural processes to the point where cause and effect has been lost.
