  • @jakeway85 Your comment has not been backed by any scientific evidence. Autism is not a result of parenting, this was suggested by the Freudian era and we all know how outdated that is. Additionally, NO sound evidence to date has found support for vaccinations causing or even contributing to the development of autism.

  • We're eating junk, we're prescribed junk, we're vaccinated with junk, and incompetent parents sit kids in front of TV to fill their developing psyche with junk. Net result: autism.

  • Temple Grandin brain was once tested (who is an autistic savant) and found out that her Cerebellum (a part of the brain) is too small.

  • very interesting thank you.
