I think these are fabulous developments and would have been entirely appropriate six months ago.  I'm very excited to see them happening, and I'm very disappointed that it is only happening now.  I hope, and hopefully not naively, that those of you at II in official or semi-official capacities have a sense of the loss that your lack of ...

I didn't understand it to be saying that these kids were diagnosed as autistic and watching tv, but that their subsequent diagnoses were correlated with earlier TV watching.  Having said that, correlation is not causation.
