Apparently, this was done by a computer scientist not a biologist but the relationship is interesting if not conclusive. A question I'd like answered is, does Glyphosate destroy helpful gut flora? A problem we humans have is lumping things together. Monsanto is evil therefor Glyphosate causes autism is a fun thing for an activist's brain to latch onto, but it is conspiratorial thinking. That said I'm going to continue to drink my kombucha because it makes my system run better.

Monsanto is a extremely well funded, lawyered up, business and politically savvy, corporation.
In my opinion they are the ultimate evil James Bond scale bad guys.
I find these truths to be self evident.

Back in my youth, mid-50's, a Monsanto engineer/executive type bought my grandfathers house next door. OK, next door was a third of a mile, but they were neighbors, his kids went to my school, yada, yada, yada.

I would listen to him tell the adults about the future Monsanto was planning, and wanted to play a big roll in shaping. To a ten year old kid, it sounded Buck Rogers here we come. And being immersed in agriculture, I knew the food production predictions were incredible, but in the 50's scientists could do... or undo... anything.

Oh, and do you know why we don't have flying fuckin' cars? Because Monsanto wasn't interested.

Short answer: absolutely.

Long answer: It's not the only one. The majority of pesticides also kill the majority of gut bugs. Meanwhile, the very definition of a preservative is something that kills microbes, thus delaying spoilage. Everyone sits there and shakes their head about the over-use of antibiotics, but every single time you eat something with any kind of preservative, you are literally swallowing a (tiny, but cumulative) dose of antibiotics.

Bitter answer: Even if this chart did make an impression on someone in charge, the likely outcome would be to remove that one herbicide from the legions in use, see the rate of autism go down not one whit, then shrug and put it back into rotation. Fixing something of this magnitude requires a change of equal magnitude.

No Boulevard in Philly! The Boulevard is the main road through half of town.

And then there's dumb Street Road. Worst name ever

It's not "The Boulevard" it's Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Boulevard. And it comprises what percent of Philly thoroughfares?

They should name an avenue in its honor.

OK, YOU go through town and ask people where "Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Boulevard" is, and I will go through town and ask people where "The Boulevard" is, and we'll see who gets more answers.

What? I'm a MAN, I don't ask for directions.... mumble, grumble, where's my snit..

But the point is, one road isn't going to show up on a percentage graph.

It stands to reason that hilly cities would have more terraces.
