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.

Absolute nonsense!  I watched no more or less TV than my immediate school friends and yet they are extremely sociable and I am the shy one with Autism.  

Autism is most likely genetic in cause, due to faulty genes within families being passed down.  It is probably no coincidence that I have an elderly uncle with suspected Autism, uncles who were alcoholics, a grandmother who suffered from depression and anxiety, and a parent who has nervous issues.
