Those scientists and christians are totally conspiring together, their fighting is an obvious cover-up.

I thought this was a joke at first, but I think they are serious. What will be blamed next?

Bizarre. I don't know if it's serious or not, but it's about as crazy as a lot of those other "theories."

As far as I can tell, people will blame autism on anything that happens in early childhood, since early childhood is when the symptoms of autism start showing. When a kid starts showing signs of autism, the chances are that something happened recently-- vaccination, baptism, whatever-- and even if there's no science to indicate a connection, people will still believe it, because "he turned autistic right after it happened!"

This whole thing is so stupid, that's why I posted it. People just can't stop blaming things for autism. It's been TV's, wood floors, rain, infamous vaccines, cows milk, baby formula, and it just keeps getting funnier and funnier.

I word autism seems to be anti-subjectivist in some or more issues.

For those who hate it, Autism is caused by bad luck.

For those who love it, Autism is caused by good luck.

Not quite the same thing, but there is the idea out there that birth trauma can contribute to autism.

Looking at the website, and the other articles on it, all I can conclude is that I'm not part of the intended audience. It's all pretty out there, but doesn't come across to me as a parody or anything.
