What is the P-value of that study in the UK? Might be a good reason most folk have not heard of it. Tylenol has been popular since the 50's, that is a big ol' sample size of folks that were exposed before the autism boom, where so many more were diagnosed with it. It would be odd to have a fat tail all of a sudden 50-60 years on after it came out if that was a cause no?
I know the intent was that the conversation would go a different way...but it is a far more complicated issue that the correlations you cite would indicate. No insult intended bub! : )
We are of one mind that guns are only a tool. But, the mentally ill are far more likely to be victims than to commit violent acts. All the best man.

Bronz, all of those shooters had eaten at McDonald's I would wager as well...it just don't mean it was the reason they did it.
