Interesting research from Cornell and Indiana/Purdue Ft. Wayne on Autism shows that TV may be a strong contributor to autism.Though I have not read the full 67 page paper, the writers seem to give a good case for television being a strong contributer to this illness.
There are other probable actions that we take in our modern society that also add to the increase in autism from 1 case in 2500 children in the early 70’s to 1 in 166 being diagnosed today.

And another reason for us to not have a TV.
