Autism is caused by ... II
OK - let's see how many "causes" of autism I can think of off the top of my head:
Wikipedia has a good list of these and a lot more (minus the recent ones)
- Autism is linked to couples who have a difficulty conceiving
- Autism is linked to children who watch too much TV before the age of 3
- Autism is caused by mercury poisoning as a result of vaccines
- Autism is linked to "older dads"
- Autism is caused by having an "extreme male brain"
- Autism is caused by measles virus in the stomach brought on by vaccines
- Historical: autism is caused by fairies or gremlins who substitute the normal child with a changeling.
- And of course, the grandfather of them all: Autism is caused by "refrigerator mothers".
