Here's why: Me, I'm from a generation of kids that had the first round of Moms working...and we were truly latch key - none of this nanny malarkey! So what did we do? We watch reel after reel of reruns of Gilligans Island, My Three Sons, Sigmund The Sea Monster, Land of the Lost, Super Friends....all the way until we stopped, bleary eyed, set the table for dinner and then went back to the tube.<br/><br/>I seem to think I'm a functioning member of society. That may be in my imagination, but that still means I'm not autistic because then I wouldn't have an imagination.<br/><br/>TV has its drawbacks FOR ALL CHILDREN. And, adults, for that matter. But I hear you, we use it as a tool...and a device to sometimes sleep in beyond 5:45-6:00am when the boy's brain automatically wakes him up. :-)<br/><br/>Cheers! I’m not buying it.

TV has its drawbacks FOR ALL CHILDREN. And, adults, for that matter. But I hear you, we use it as a tool…and a device to sometimes sleep in beyond 5:45-6:00am when the boy’s brain automatically wakes him up. :-)

Cheers!

Apparently those of us who are dealing day to day with kids with autism and who are looking for answers, can at least get some comic relief from this "researcher".<br/><br/>The only up side, as I would see it, would be that if this Television/Autism link were true we could all sue the TV industry and split the proceeds to better educate our little ones (and big ones) who have autism.
