I recently viewed the GMA video where Kim was a guest. I thought seeing her with her three girls and holding one and stroking her on the back was really nice, but then she ruined the moment by bringing up google and Jenny McCarthy. Interesting reading.

Here the authors raise the question of causation and suggest that The magnitude of the genetic predisposition, as well as that of the responsiveness to environmental influences, may be associated with various variables such as the number of children already diagnosed with ASD in the family, gender of the child (and, where applicable, also of the older sibling with autism), level of functioning, and parent-child relations.
