Ya, I share Lizbeth's confustion. Didn't they already do this study?
I dunno, tho. I know I'm not being scientific- everybody has their woo I guess... But personal anecdote is coloring my judgment here. "Epidemic" is a little alarmist, but dang. Maybe I'd put myself at ease if I found other autists in my family tree a ways back...
Sunshine, I reckon if you don't have any family members you can see in either you and your childs father's family, then it is possible your child's ASD is caused by a de novo mutation, or like with my hubby and I, our unique genetic combo created quirky kids. Have you read Unstrange Minds by Roy Grinker?
But you should be able to get a vaccine for it! :D
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like they did a study to recap another study. I'm not sure why but Ok....
