Have any of you seen this? http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/episodes/autism-enigma
We had a nasty weather today so I was watching telly and saw it. I found it very interesting. It speculates about gut bugs role in developing autism, especially regressive autism. Lots of stuff about bacteria, it's role on overall and brain development during three first years of life. How food and antibiotics may have a role etc.
I for example didn't knew that there is such a difference on how common autism is not only in different countries but between different ethnic groups and how dramatic difference there is in some ethnic groups depending there they live. That while autism is uncommon in Somalia, it is epidemic among Somalian living in North America and for example Sweden (and much more common than among locals.)
