Overheard 'round the dinner table tonight: "don't let that baby watch ANY television, or she'll get autism!"

Posted by Dr.Vermin (aka Dr.Vermin) Nov 26 '09, 17:42

Supposedly there was a new story out that links the two. Google is giving me nothing. Heard anything like this?

For now, I'm equating this theory with the 'vaccines cause autism' one.

There was a "study" done that falsely linked areas in Washington with higher autism with TV watching. - Inigo Nov 26, 18:06 2

Don't equate it with that, as that has at least a little (itty-bitty) weight behind it. - Spawn Nov 26, 17:45 2
- I think they need to start doing autism evaluations before vacs are given. - zeitgeist Nov 26, 17:51 1
  - I agree, just saying the tv ONCE thing is idiocy. -- nm - Spawn Nov 26, 17:52
