When looking for correlative causes of autism, it is often worth asking "Is this something that autistic mothers are more likely to do?" Does Tylenol cause autism, or are autistic women more likely to take Tylenol during their pregnancy.

After speaking with normal people about autism for the last 6-7 years, I have become fully convinced we need to give ASD 1, 2, and 3 separate and distinctive names because most people simply cannot handle the idea of a range of disabilities having a single name.
