I actually think it's good - because it proves babies can be autistic long before the so called MMR Autism causing shot! So many parents try to say their children were normal, happy individuals until the MMR, then BAM! Autistic. If autism can be detected earlier, that'll shut em up.

Great, now maybe they can refine the test to spot autism signs before birth and arrange a prompt government funded abortion. Maybe this is the "cure" so many have been searching for!


That's probably what those losers will do, because everybody in society has to be "perfect".

In Germany autism therapy has the goal to implore and use the potential of an autistic person to lead a successful and happy life. They don't try to make the person non-autistic, because they say that's impossible.


Wow. That sounds refreshingly realistic.


Tell me about it... We should all move to Germany...

In any case, I'm for a detection method 9 months after birth (as stated, it will shut up those "MMR and autism conspired to take my child away" crows). I'm for any detection as long as it takes place after birth (since you kind of can't abort a child after they're born...)

This seems like too much of an improvement to be true. But like most posters here, I question the accuracy of such tests. God knows what other factors could play into a 9-month-old's eye movement during the test.
