This topic fascinates me, since I believe that it was the trigger for my own ME. First, a few more refs:
Martha Herbert, a pediatric neurologist specializing in ASD, and Cindy Sage, combined forces to produce a major two part paper on the possible relationships between ASD and RF: first published in BioInitiative 2012, it was then published separately:

Note that they use the word “plausibility”–as far as they were then aware, the research had not been done. We are all familiar with the notion that we and ASD share many pathways–I think if you read through these two papers you will be impressed by the familiarity of many of the pathways.
There are also a couple of papers from Paul Héroux and colleagues at McGill that describe a related or identical pathway, though they are not listed in the biblio provided by either:

I moved from Montreal to Victoria BC in August 2006; for the first few months I was my usual very active, mobile person, walking and cycling all over the place. Then trouble began, though not with the more usual sudden flu-like illness, but with waves of increasing apparent cardiac symptoms--a mild brief episode in December 2006, then a harder hit late January, which stayed, and gave me an awful few months, in which cardiologists denied any faults. Somehow, without knowing what I was doing, I paced myself into something like health again that summer, only to succumb permanently early 2008. I had moved into a high-rise apartment building topped by a forest of cell and other antennae. I rented a Stetzer meter, and found sky-high HF pollution on my power lines; I later bought a meter, and found quite high levels all round the building. I moved a while later, and am now in a quieter (electrically and acoustically) part of town, but have by no means recovered. I wrote brief emails to both Julia Newton and Leonard Jason suggesting this was something worth exploring--got courteous but brief replies from both, but with no suggestion that they might look into this. I am convinced this is real, though also sure it is not by any means the whole or sole answer.
I did from another angle make a brief recent trial of a calcium channel blocker--Nidefipine--which was a disaster--it triggered both high HR and a return after several years of unwelcome Premature Ventricular Contractions; I don't mean to suggest that maybe another drug from the same family might not help some, and would love to hear about any experiments you may make.
