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.

    YES!! Its not only the television, its ipads, compuers, video games etc... Think about it! Now days children own ipads at 2 Years old!.. They have all kinds of electronic gadgets out there. This generation is ridiculous! .. We grew up playing tag, running around, throwing rocks, making paper airplanes!.. Children develop autism in their first couple years of life. Its caused by excessive tv, ipads..basically too much radiation at a young age. Look up autistic children on youtube. 95% of them are stuck in front of some kind os electronic. Call me crazy. I figured it out first hand. I reversed my sons diagnoses. Why do you think the amish community have no cases of autism? They dont believe in electronics!!.. Find me one autistic child that is not addicted to electronics and come talk to me. 

    thanks

    I do not believe electronic gadgets cause autism, although the radiation may well have other negative effects on the body.

    There were no iPads etc. when I was a child and I have AS, my children have never been stuck in front of the TV for hours or had lots of electronic gadgets and they both still have ASC.

    I was interested in the Amish claim to no autism, but when I looked into it, it was disproven because it was investigated as it was thought to be vaccine related and they found the Amish do vaccinate their children and also do have some cases of autism.

    One of my children had signs from birth, before she went anywhere near a TV.
