Davann - Why do the Amish have a much lower statistical amount of autism?

Dylboz - Why do you confuse correlation with causation?

Why do you think that by asking a valid question I do not understand the difference between correlation and causation? Why are you attempting to redirect from the question?

anarchir - Well that could be from any of the differences between their society and ours (assuming you're not Amish). Also assuming it is such a simple reason why they have less.



I can go with that answer.

Why does that community of 40,000+ (their name is escaping me) in Illinois that live a modern life just like everyone else but choose not to vaccinate have a much lower statistical rate of autism?

I don't know what community you're talking about or the autism rate there.  Since the rate of autism according to Wikipedia is about 0.1-0.2%, in a population of 40k random people you'd expect, on average, to find 40-80 autistic people.  Of course, not every group is random and you will definitely see variations (which are especially noticeable at the extreme ends such as a disease that affects a tenth of a percent of the population).  Autism appears likely to be linked to genetics, especially since 4.3 males have it for every female.  Given that males are much more likely to have genetic issues because they lack two X chromosomes, that explanation would make sense.  I don't see 4.3 males getting vaccinated for every female getting vaccinated.

I think that things like women being older when they get pregnant can cause autism as well.  I'm not sure though.  Thought I read it in one of those women's magazines though.

Wired Magazine printed an article about the rise in Autism & Asperger's, which places some of the blame on the rise in the number of nerds, and their increased chances of spawning children. Kids have so much going on in their heads that they have difficulties processing outside stimuli in the "normal" ways.

I guess I'm not really concerned that she will develop Autism, I just don't like people telling me what to do with my own child or calling me a freak/crazy/a threat to the community if I decide I don't want to vaccinate her. It's set up now that you must have a religious belief not to do so, and I think that is bullshit. People are forced to lie about it, its craziness.

See...I thought of it because a friend of mine's mom has a 13 year old son and he has Asperger's.  She was 38 when he was born.  Also, their father is a nerd.  Hmmm.   :shock:

I will try and find the name of the community. I believe I may read about them on Lew Rockwell.

Is there a close enough (+/- .5 of 4.3) rate of male to female rate with other genetic defects? If not the rates between the two sexes are negliable would it be scientifically acceptable to rule out the lacking X chromosomes as a cause?

I'm not sure what the prevalence of other genetic disorders among males and females is, only that there are definitely more genetic disorders among males than females.
