WiFi linked to childhood autism
 

If you have kids and you're using a wireless modem, read up:

A study published this week in the Australasian Journal of Clinical Environmental Medicine warns that wireless communication technology may be responsible for accelerating the rise in autism among children.

Autism is a disabling neuro-developmental disorder. Its cause is not completely understood, but it is linked to heavy-metal toxicity.

Dr George Carlo, an expert on the dangers of electromagnetic radiation (EMR), who headed the world's largest research program on mobile phone health hazards in the 1990s, revealed the autism-wireless technology connection following a series of tests on autistic children monitored during 2005 and 2006.

Wow... it was only a matter of time before they discovered something like this. there's negatives to every new technology.

Oh whew, for a second there I thought you were trying to say that the retards down the block were interfering with my fucking home wireless. That would have pissed me right off. Dirty, drooling little chimps.

Weren't these waves also interfering with bees' navigational abilities?

Funny, they say living under highvoltage power lines has no adverse effects, but my WiFi can screw with ya....

I'll wait for a real study to come out on the subject.

yes the cell phone exasperates 'assholisum'

I really really hope this study is not true...

it's tinfoil time.

not at all.
the bee's are having problems from an imported australian virus.

probably not. it does not appear to be a peer-reviewed study.

Seriously, you have a point. Here's the countervailing facts: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6914492.stm

actually research has shown that tin foil hats drastically increase the amount of radio waves and so on that get into your head.

That is something new for me!

i thought something similar :)

Sounds unlikely to me, they're always trying to pin the cause of autism on something. If this study had any serious validity they'd have managed to get it published in a slightly more prestigious journal than "Australasian Journal of Clinical Environmental Medicine"

I hear ya. The majority view is here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6914492.stm

There's a lot of thought behind what causes autism... everything from gluton levels and tolerances to vaccinations.

And each of them have their own studies to back the theories up.

I wouldn't put much faith in this one until a bit more work's been done. :2 cents:
