I know I bang on about plummeting journalistic standards but here, yet again, it is:
"...One person even told me they suspected the spike in ambient noise in our society is a contributing factor to the rise in diagnoses of autism."
Here, a clue to the quality of the content is in what is being said.
Here, a reporter is reporting what someone else is
reporting. Wrong, wrong and
wrong, in the Journalism for Dummies book I will one day write... then plug repeated to any reporter lazy or dumb enough to listen
of which it appears there is a growing army. God help me...but perhaps he is?
Yes, this gets my goat, and not just because I live in southern Spain where you can't even drive home pissed (American English: inebriated) from the pub without running at least one of the bleating quadrupeds over. It's also because I know just a little about autism, and what that condition really means. This much I can say for sure: Helicopters do not cause autism. There! You heard it first on Pprune.
Well, it's up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire for me.
Buenos noches mi amigos
