I have no words!
The whole article makes no sense, it contradicts itself about 5 times, all so it can blame women for a problem that's NOT anybody's FAULT!!

Can you tell i feel a bit strongly about this?
I really wish the Daily Mail would stop talking shite, that "psychologists" would stop getting paid for spouting shite and do some research that actually helps someone..

Oh, and please.. the only women "clever" enough to go out to work have a "male brain"??

Alright, I'm off to look at pictures of kittens until i calm down.

Tis rather an annoying article isn't it!

I think its as simple as things never got diagnosed, especially if you consider how many of todays cases are mild - they could easily be missed years ago..and just labelled as slow/different/whatever traits they had

I agree it is rather far fetched but I wouldn't say it was blaming women for autism. It also said women in specific types of jobs have a male type brain not all women that work. It places enthesis on how we choose our mates being different from hundreds of years ago and maybe that is leading to the increase, unfortunately the daily mail like a shit stiring story and a grabby headline!
I'll be interested to see what the results of the study are, altho I imagine it's a long time off!
