Does watching TV cause Autism ?

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.

  • I actually did think about that. Once I feel like he's at that age where he can handle a little bit of TV I will make that decision. Right now is not that time. I hope one day people figure it out and realize technology is backfiring. My son will be just fine. But please come talk to me when you find an autistic child that doesn't live off electronics. Good luck
