There's a cure for the Cincinnati rail proponents?

Maybe these doctors can treat our crazy rail proponents...........

A child obsessed with watching Thomas The Tank Engine has alarmed doctors after failing to make friends at school, instead wandering around in a daze mumbling lines from the show.

Specialists are so concerned about the three-year-old American, known only as 'Max', that a report has been published in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.

Max, who is being treated by a specialist in California, spends up to five hours a day watching the long-running British show Thomas And Friends.

I read this and would like to know if the boy has been tested for autism. My son is high functioning autistic and used to love everything Thomas when he was younger and repeat all the sayings. Thomas the Tank Engine is so popular with autistic children that he was the "Official Spokestrain" for an autism society one year.

I have twin nephews who are also high functioning autistic kids.

They are also crazy about Thomas and friends.
