I don’t even know enough to know I don’t know it. I have no idea what you are talking about. Thank you for the suggestion though. At least I’ll know where to begin searching.

for some reason I can’t post links. I moderate a Yahoo AS group that has a bunch of links showing various correlations between autism and genetic/environmental factors. Maybe if I type out the link?

A definite link to autism has been found in all of the below. SOME of these have underlying genetic determinants, but ALL of them definitely have psychological determinants. So why is everybody so certain that autism is genetic?
