Just read this - its about deflecting from the real causes of autism.

what a waste of money - just add this to the list of other

ridiculous " reasons " for autism

too much tv

too much rain

too little love from mommy (who was cold and skinny of course)

too old parents

and on and on and on. I guess Bath University has too much money on

its hands or some very twisted people on its staff or both

Add commentsMen who do not find the shape of the curvier woman most

attractive could be more likely to father children with autism,

according to a study.

Researchers showed 100 men with autistic children pictures of curvy

women, women with athletic frames and more rounded women and found

that they do not have a preference on which figure they find more

attractive.

The new research from the University of Bath suggests that fathers of

autistic children do not share the preference of men across the world

for the curvier woman.

Studies show that the waist-to-hip ratio of 70% is what the majority

of men find most attractive because it correlates strongly with good

health and fertility.

Women within this range tend to have optimal levels of oestrogen and

are less susceptible to major diseases, while women whose ratio shows

their waist is bigger than their hips, or vice versa, tend to have

higher levels of testosterone.

Testosterone encourages fat to deposit on the waist while oestrogen

encourages fat to deposit on the hips.

Dr Mark Brosnan and Dr Ian from the university's Department of

Psychology found that as a group the fathers of autistic children

didn't all go for the same figure as their most attractive choice.

Genetic influences and high-testosterone levels during a baby's

development in the womb have been linked to autism.

Dr Brosnan said he hopes the research will increase understanding of

the causes of the condition.

He said: " We wanted to investigate the mechanisms by which these

genes come together in a parental pairing, whether it is by chance or

if it could be due to different preferences in choosing a mate - so-

called assortative mating. "

As a man, a scientist and as a father of an autistic child I can

categorically say that's a load of b*ll*cks.
