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.

  • My family did not own a TV until I was 10 years old, neither did I have any other gadgets as a child. We did not get a computer until I was 13 years old!.

    I spent most of my childhood days playing outside in the sunshine, and good memories they are too.

    Not all people with autism are into electronics in any case. Many of us prefer reading or other non gadget related activities. Even now I hardly ever use my mobile phone, which I only purchased when I was 18 years old.

    And autism cannot be cured.
