Schrodinger's Cat Syndrome and the Autism Connection

Could Schrodinger’s Cat Syndrome be causing autism? There’s a theory that the increase in cases of autism may be caused by ultrasounds. Or, that ultrasounds can cause autism. Does the act of taking a photo, observing, the moment in time when synapses and chemical reactions are forming within the brain, stop or alter the quantum development of neurons?

I think the underlying uneasiness that each group has toward the other is based upon ignorance of each other's operating system. Fundamentally, an entity in each faction could never experience reality the same as the other. Knowing this, it's this basic fear of the unknown…
