"there is substantial evidence that county autism rates are indeed positively related to county-wide levels of precipitation"
"county autism rates are also positively related to the percentage of households that subscribe to cable television"
"Our precipitation tests indicate that just under forty percent of autism diagnoses in the three states studied is the result of television watching due to precipitation, while our cable tests indicate that approximately seventeen percent of the growth in autism in California and Pennsylvania during the 1970s and 1980s is due to the growth of cable television."
