I suggest that both parents should submit their bloodtype. i am type A my wife is type O, please send your and your spouse’s blood type so we may rule out that bloodtype has nothing to do with autism too =).

Nice job Kristina. We need to sit back an have a good laugh over some of the things we’re researching. Much of the autism research takes a ’shotgun approach’ and the some of the spray hits some funny targets.

Actually, that’s a good criticism of some of the TV ADHD studies. But not Waldman’s. That’s because the study doesn’t look at actual rates of TV viewing among autistic children. In other words, if autistic kids just like to watch TV, that won’t be reflected in precipitation rates (but maybe a little in cable subscription rates? who knows).
