Autism (or the increase thereof) may be the price of industrial pollution. Tylenol may be just a convenient scape goat to justify gutting the EPA.

As much as I want to believe something like that, its hard for me to come to that conclusion.

I lived at a boarding school for boys with high functioning autism (with a strict 100+ IQ requirement), and even then, almost no one could understand the school's simplified math curriculum. Most autistic people have it worse than that.
