There is some contentious stuff out there about high levels of tv watching increasing the chances of a child becoming autistic. What if however children with autism/autism traits are more likely anyway to watch tv. I don't know if that is true, I'm just throwing it out there for debate.Possibly more time stuck in front of the box would mean less time engaged in imaginative play.I was a toddler in the late 50s/early 60s and apparently watched a lot of television. Nowadays a toddler watching lots of tv or videos would not be that unusual, but I'm not sure it was the case back in the late 50s/early 60s .
I don't even try to make sense of why I've got ASD. I've heard so many theories. There is no concrete evidence as to why it happens. I could end up blaming a person who isn't responsible, blaming myself, getting paranoid, or to be short putting energy into something I don't need to. My way of making sense of it is there is no use making sense of it.
Been reading the replies here, interesting but I don’t think tv has anything to do with giving autism.
I did find this meme on Facebook and it seemed appropriate to post it here.
simple and easy words but not simple to actually do as it states,
Just to add it was from thinking humanity and isn’t specific or targeted at autism. There are many such sayings, I do not always agree with the words in them but find most make the mind stop and think a little.
