Is this of any economic or social relevance or importance?

If so, where are our Nobel prize winners? where are our Olympic gold winners? what are our scientific discoveries? who are our current great sportsmen and women?

Feel good stories don't rally a nation, only results do ...

you are right!!..the kids are getting the devices young with no tangible future gains... it is only because our young parents have very poor parenting skills. give the kids a device to shut them up while the mums indulge themselves in manicure/pedicures, IG, shopping and the dads are lost in their saturday night football and drinking

Everyone is just jealous they didn't get their first device until they are in secondary school la. For the oldies, maybe their first device is a damn Motorola pager.

Well, go ahead and give your kids tablets and smartphones. Give it to them at 3, 4, 5 years old.

Your kids, your problems. :cool:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_autism

Genetic factors may be the most significant cause for autism spectrum disorders. Early studies of twins had estimated heritability to be over 90%, meaning that genetics explains over 90% of whether a child will develop autism.[17] However, this may be an overestimation, as new twin studies estimate the heritability at between 60–90%.[18][19] Many of the non-autistic co-twins had learning or social disabilities. For adult siblings the risk for having one or more features of the broader autism phenotype might be as high as 30%.[20]

I gave my kids iPads when they were in Primary 6. Pass PSLE with a good score and it's an incentive for them to work hard.

Seeing that autism affect boys 3:1 vs girls. It’s the lj that is the cause. We should practice pre-natal castration.
