You are right. I personally believe, that like the causes of cancer stemming from environmental exposures to genetics, I believe it is possible for autism too. However, in our family, my husband and I are always pointing out our individual characteristics and traits that we look at combined could have genetically caused Sam's autism. We do that in a fun loving, light hearted way. My husbands desire to not be around large crowds, my obsessiveness, hubbie's issues with clothing texture, my need for routine and structure. Of course we have mild examples compared to what Sam's world is like, but I can really see how when certain genes are aligned, autism could be born. And I am so thankful Sam was. So wish I would have been home early to catch the webcast. Thanks for the link with outlines though! It is the new “e” word. You are right.

Someone should tell her that a lot of people do not think it is enviromental, curable or hopeless. I am interested in hearing the whole conference when I get the chance. Livsparents, I agree no warm and fuzzy here either. I have not heard what Bono said but in her slides she mentions that if Autism is enviromental and curable than it is not hopeless.
