However, my brother showed signs that something wasn't traditional pretty much from birth, so it's hard for the TV theory to resonate with me. Something to keep in mind is that autism wasn't really diagnosed before the 80's, so the increase might be more of a correlation than a causation. Lots of people who were wrongly diagnosed as something else were being properly diagnosed for the first time. I'm excited to hear what others have to say though.
