Breastfeeding protective against Autism

[womblesofwestminster]

What do you guys make of this news:

"Breastfed children have higher oxytocin levels, boosting their chances of evading Autism. Medical researchers have further confirmed that breastfeeding significantly strengthens the nervous system of both the child and its mother."

Is there a topic called Goady Shit Stirring Blamers that this thread can be happily relocated to?

Breastfed my son for three years, hasn't prevented him from having an ASD I'm afraid.

Did you use both boobs?

Coz I read somewhere, that breatfeeding only prevents autism if you feed from the right boob only. If you feed from the left only you give your child ADHD.

Aha starlight you're on to something there if I'd used a different brand of formula would I have given my Dcs adhd

Another bollocks vote.

My mum breast fed my brother and not me. We both had Fragile X. No amount of breast milk can change your DNA I'm afraid.

WTAF.

MNHQ obviously thought it was offensive enough to move, but not to remove.

What a load of parp.

Millions of you have autism, you just don't know it, the original thinkers, the computer programmers, the engineers, the poets and musicians, the scientists, the lecturers, the artists. most working at their special interests, unlikely to be motivated by money.

I have AS, I didn't know it, it wasn't diagnosed when I was a child. My son has ASD (breastfed until two), DD has aspergers, the quirky members of my family have it (ie all of them), It's genetic.
