THANKS FOR ALL THE AUTISM COVERAGE, LEON-GAWKER!

[senzaflash]

Is it stupid that I have my kids named currently? Orlando and Fox, you try and figure out those INCREDIBLY obvious pop culture references. And is it evil that I fear having autistic children? 1 in 136 American children is currently born with Autism. Them's high chances. I am knocking wood left and right.

Autistic kids freak me out. If I had autistic kids my escret wish would be to institutionalize them, I think. For now my plan is no tv before the age of 2!

I thought it was you, Nora. I kind of secretly agree. And you're right, TV most likely causes it, they've decided. Don't get me started.

i think that number is off. maybe they're counting the incredibly shy babies.
