found this article today saying vinyl flooring doubles the chances of autism. What are your thoughts on this?

I'm no expert, but it sounds like a bunch of hooey to me.

Sure,why not?

It's not any more outlandish than the time they said autism might be caused by rain or improved after a having a fever.

Honestly...

:roll:

This just in: being born increases the risk of dying.

Maybe it's different in Sweden, but I've lived in about 15 different places throughout my life, and been to many different buildings. I think only 1 house DIDN'T have vinyl flooring, and I think all the schools and hospitals I've ever been to have vinyl flooring. Shouldn't everyone have autism then?
