Does Attachment Parenting Cause Autism?

I can never get any links to work! Grr... I have a friend who teaches kids with autism and an ex boyfriend who's brother is- I just don't see this actually being a cause but I really wish I could read articles posted!!

Personally I wouldn't think so.

It's an interesting article (and not really about attachment parenting causing autism) and makes some very interesting points.

The article is written as a satire... she isn't being serious.

The article isn't really asking if attachment parenting causes autism. It is a satire on how ridiculous the "vaccinations cause autism" debate. However to answer your question no I don't think it does.

No of course not. No one knows what causes Autism but we know it is neurological. With that obviously the way someone parents a child does not cause neurological problems. These articles always give me a small giggle.

From the article:
"Those who have read this far have probably figured out
that this is a satire. I'm satirizing the "thinking" of
vaccine rejectionists on the purported relationship
between vaccines and autism. The purpose of the
satire is to demonstrate that what seems to vaccine
rejectionists to be compelling "reasoning" is nothing
more than nonsense, and logical fallacies."
I don't seem to find the logic of this statement. Anyone?

Nope. Don't see it either. Lucky for her she's never experienced a vaccine harming one of her children, doesn't negate the fact that other people have.

One thing that strikes me as
odd is that doctors have been saying that at 6 months
of age it is difficult to determine if a child is
neurological impaired. If the child was born with
neurological problems then vaccination should be
deferred. Indeed, it is confusing for parents. Also
doctors are saying that if a baby had shown
symptoms of allergic reactions to any of the vaccines
they usually recommend to see an allergist and
discontinue the vaccines. Odd?
