This is an intereseting article by Al Mohler:
Television Viewing and Autism . . . a Link?
Near the end he writes:
"The experience of watching television is passive rather than active. The child's imagination is not required to provide the images -- the screen does that for them. Television does not encourage active thought nor does it develop the attention span. Many researchers suggest that the experience of viewing television can affect the cognitive and neurological development of the child."
