::I've added a reference, however some of the sources it cites are a little anti-religious so I'll try and find a better one. It's certainly not made up though and I thought it would be of relevance to this article. Please do not question my faith in God or his purpose [[User:WilcoxD|WilcoxD]] 23:29, 23 April 2013 (EDT)

I meant no offense WilcoxD, without the ref it looked like a very suspect statement. Upon reading the article however I have to agree with your sentiment that while it does seem legit, it tends to be "anti-religious". It almost seemed to me that the author was making a case for atheism being the more natural state as once the emotional aspects are removed from the equation, as is the case in many autistic people, the intellect essentially rejects the supernatural aspects of God. Once again, I meant no disrespect it just seemed like the type of statement some of the typical vandals around here would drop in without the citation. Thanks for the quick response.

:None taken. Ironically, the section that [[user:ChapmanP]] just removed about the fraudulent Wakefield studies was something I was reading about the other day and was what lead me to these other studies! [[User:WilcoxD|WilcoxD]] 23:42, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
