That's nothing, rain causes autism too: http://www.physorg.com/news145639677.html

I like how your article calls it a risk, though. But what I wanna know is, what can be done to reduce the risk of NT Syndrome? :P

I think autism is caused from stupid researchers… as there has been a rise in stupid researchers, there has also been a rise in autism diagnoses….

Coincidence? I don’t think so

Being born can sometimes cause autism. Also, carrots are deadly. Every living being in the history of the planet who has eaten a carrot has died or is expected to die given the passage of enough time.

It's pretty clear that everyone who is on the spectrum also uses dihydrogen monoxide.

Also, everyone who uses dihydrogen monoxide dies.

The real cause of autism is people coming up with causes of autism, because people read them, realize they have been exposed to the many causes of autism so they convince themselves that they must have autism and start displaying the symptoms.

But don't tell anyone this, they will get autism.

I've stopped talking to my friends about AS after the third friend in a row started thinking she might have it too.

This is a dangerous power.

Vacination. Too think a lot of you guys entered this world as NT's but the vacination had other plans for the way your brain developed.

NT syndrome is a common lifelong neurological disorder characterized by impairment in the formation of special interests and other delays. Children with NT require constant attention and socialization to prevent devastatingly common conditions such as loneliness which are strongly linked to NT. Some cures have been developed, such as head trauma, but most individuals with NT refuse these treatments in part due to side-effects and in part due to poor insight into their condition. Individuals with NT may benefit from having a guardian, or having a non-NT handle their finances.

Life expectancy is severely limited in individuals with NT syndrome. Modern medical advances have extended it somewhat, but individuals born with this syndrome still inevitably die. However, only .5% of newborns with NT syndrome born in the United States die before reaching 24 hours, which many experts believe is related to advances in medicine; some estimate this figure at only one percent of the mortality rate for medieval infants with NT. Many parents find themselves unprepared and thousands of NT infants are abandoned each year by parents without services or support, caught unprepared by the special needs of these children.

Some studies indicate that this syndrome may be genetic and is probably congenital, but others suggest environmental factors may play a risk. Further, the developmental delays in NT syndrome do not become apparent until children have reached several months, and many children who show signs of NT syndrome early in life develop autism, sometimes making remarkable progress as late as age nine.

To reduce the risk that your children may develop NT syndrome, give birth near a highway in a rainy region. Be certain to have your children vaccinated; all modern vaccines reduce the risk of NT syndrome, but the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine is especially helpful. Use Bayer Advantage on your cat. Make certain your children have access to plenty of gluten and casein. Also, all children with properly-developing autistic brains consume some dihydrogen monoxide. We recommend a supplement containing at least 1892705 mg daily. This amount is also helpful in reducing the risk of death in children with NT syndrome, who are very vulnerable to dihydrogen monoxide deficiency. Finally, avoid oxytocin, which is

Individuals with NT may sometimes be successfully integrated into the community, but this practice is not always successful.

Autism is caused by eating a tomato sandwich.
