I wonder if Aspies are more prone to ear infections?  I had all sorts of problems with my ears when I was younger.  So many tenous links, all I know is that Autism spectrum disorders have a strong genetic component, as the symptoms go back generations in my family, long before Augmentin and even vaccines.  From what I know of scientific method, these studies don't hold nearly enough water to warrant the media hype they're given.  They're possible leads, and should be followed up, but some people just want someone to blame, someone they can take to court.  Stupid litigious society. :evil:
