Something about this is interesting. My best friend and her husband had twins and both autistic, both girls and are 20 now. He was stationed for the most part in Guam before they had the girls. Wonder how many service people have autistic children...............

Your story is irrelevant in relation to this study. It doesn't prove or disprove anything.
