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.

  • What also worries me is that godfather310 "reversed" his son's diagnosis. It would be interesting to know how exactly and what corroborates this.

    There is still a lack of understanding of autism amongst a lot of people in contact with it, which leads to rather insensitive treatment of those affected, based on unsupported hunches and theories, and unattested therapies.

    The Amish, while they have adjusted to the world around them, may not be that different from biblical times where people with disabilities were prohibited access to the temple (or church), and where people thought dumb, insane, or retarded were chained up like dogs. That was happening in Victorian England.
