I know you were, and I see that point. My hunch, FWIW, is that some kids carry a genetic predisposition for autism spectrum disorders, and I think it's quite possible that some combination of enviromental factors (vaccines? diet/food additives?something else?) triggers that predisposition. But I think it is far from a simple answer.

Around 3.

And being the proud dad that I am, let me add that now, at 10, he is doing very, very well. He still has his challenges, especially with navigating social cues and non-verbal language, but he really is doing well.
