“My autism is not a superpower. It also isn’t some kind of god-forsaken, endless fountain of suffering inflicted on my family. It’s just part of who I am as a person”. - Sara Luterman
Computers cause autism. "Research shows" a huge increase in autism since the pc was first marketed, some (previously unknown) researcher has proved. Interviewed today on the Nutcase Television channel, he explained that it became obvious to him that as the brain in involved in using computers, this might be a two way effect. So he proved his theory by measuring the amount of time AS subjects spend using computers vs NT subjects.
Using a sample of ten million each, he proved that the AS subjects had a usage time that was exponentially greater than NT usage time and the difference was statistically significant. After one of his friends peer reviewed the findings, and the original finding was confirmed.
Autism Speaks is donating some of its mega millions to instigate a program to restrict the time autistic people spend on their computers, with the help of software designers and ABA licensed practitioners, with the goal of helping AS people become NTish. Autism Speaks will provide free pcs and software to autistic users which are capable of delivering electric shocks (quite powerful ones) via the keyboard.
It is also funding parent lobby groups to campaign state senators to work together to make this mandatory in every state, because the evidence base is methodologically sound and overwhelming. "You can't fault evidence based science" the ultra rich charity said today, "and that's what we are funding. For their own good."
"Now that the cause is definitively known, an Autism Speaks CEO said, "it will be the world's greatest humanitarian act to give these freaks a chance at normal lives like our own".

Please understand that everything I write should be read with a grain of salt because I frequently adjust my views based on new information (just read a description of INTP that should explain better than I)

These days, I've heard a great deal of so-called cause or causative factors such as , Thiomersal to chemical compounds found in medications used for depression if taken during preganancy. Lastly, your going to love this one that, the Devil caused Autism, that's right a mythical diety.Honestly, I could care less about all the conspiracay theory junk that people put forth, I simply do my best to live.
