Regardless of it making sense to you or not, autism and circumcision are statistically linked.

Yes. They are. But it's a meaningless fact. And most people would probably agree that rather than A (circumcision) causing B (autism) that something like C (living in an industrialized country with magnificent access to healthcare and public schools where children are brought to interact in large groups at a young age combined with increase awareness so that kids aren't just socially awkward or mentally retarded but now have a new name- ASD/autistic) is causing both A (high rate of circumcision) and B (high instance of labeling kids as "autistic/ASD").
