WOW. This comment literally made me gasp. I am sharing this with all of my network. So chilling and SO true! |
They can look all they want, but they won't get any closer because its pretty clear that Autism is an environmental disease rather than a genetic one. All these scientists are doing is running interference for the real culprit. Basically its like sending OJ to find the real killer. |
PP-say more about this. What environmental factors are the cause? |
The cause is debated still, but the evidence fits vaccination more closely than any other single cause. Exhibit A is that nothing like autism is documented anywhere until 1911, and it doesn't exist in numbers sufficient to study until the 1940s. Exhibit B is rising prevalence over time since first discovery, being 1 in 30 or so in the USA today. Exhibit C is the relative lack of autism in less "modern" populations and countries Were it a genetic cause, it should be more geographically, temporally and culturally stable in its presentation. |
| OP is a drama queen. |
Nah, I think it is caused by eating organic. Very tight correlation. |
Why not blame it on women’s rights that correlated with the rise of autism? Or that women started wearing pants while pregnant? |
