[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article discusses a study out of Denmark that shows that the risk of autism doubles for boys who were circumcized before the age of 5.  The study was conducted because of the combination of recent findings in animals that showed that a single injury could result in lifelong deficits in response to stress and a study that involved a correlation between circumcision and prevalence of autism spectrum disorder. It was found that long-term alterations in the perception of pain which is a characteristic noticed in children who are autistic, was associated with painful experiences in newborn babies and animals.

Interesting read.

I find this theory fascinating. Ever watch the baby screaming upon his surgery? I have. It's the most horrific torture I've ever witnessed with my own eyes.

Sorry, guys.

DS was given a dribble of wine at his bris and seemed pretty content.

In the old days they used to slap a baby's butt right after birth to make them breath (and scream). if your ridiculous theory had anything to it, most of the country would have been autistic.[/quote]
You're saying if I'm going to slap you, I might as well take a knife to remove some body part, as the pain would be the same?

How ridiculous, not to mention the infection risk (and pain) of an open wound. You clearly have some missing marbles, and perhaps more than that.[/quote]

I said nothing of the sort. Calm down. My point is that screaming doesn't cause autism. As for the missing marbles . . . you really need to chill.[/quote]
