Does watching TV cause Autism ?

James Poterba is President of the National Bureau of Economic Research. He is also the Mitsui Professor of Economics at M.I.T.

Quote"They find that it is, and that this correlation cannot be explained simply by the fact that both cable subscriptions and autism rates were rising over the study period, since communities where subscription rates grew faster experienced faster growth in autism rates as well"

I have not watched TV in the last 5 years, as I knew it was effecting my condition. My parents had the biggest TV in the street as well, growing up. So maybe TV size maybe a correlation as well.

    Staring at TV may be linked to rigid thinking and rigid movement factor in a rigid parenting family upbringing.

    I appreciate your views, but the scientific jury is still out on this one.

    For someone that claims to think logically you come with some utter rubbish sometimes, 'two.

    Again, if TV caused Autism then a hell of lot more people would have Autism!
