Watching Joe Rogan interview with calley and Casey means it’s obvious that Trump and JFK Jr could have a big impact on US healthcare especially how autism is perceived. They are generally vaccine skeptics they all know and refer to each other. Trump referred to the means, the means are connected to ... |

I suppose it depends what is meant by eugenics. Words get thrown around all the time and they provoke a knee jerk reaction Interventions to prevent disease and disability are ok and happen today but they are not really labelled eugenics. Surgery in the womb, giving pregnant mothers vitamins or miner... |

Yes self inflicted wounds Hopefully this will be the end of identity politics. The idea that a job that comes with great responsibility should go to someone not on merit but because they are a woman, black etc.. The idea goes against the very beliefs of Martin L King Is this the best the US could do... |

Those who think the shooter deliberately missed don't know anything about guns. A bullet has a tolerance distance depending how far away the shot, windspeed the tiniest movement can make a bullet go an inch or two from target, which in this case would have killed him. If you go to shooting ranges fo... |

The key points from this from a statistical standpoint & view is:- 1. Diagnosis at 8 years old (anything else is irrelevant) as that is the fixed point the CDC measures each year. So if more 8 year olds are diagnosed then yes diagnosis is going up as that is the measuring point. If a 40 year old... |

If they could create autism in mice, viola they know what causes autism, So who decided which parts of autism could be cured? I don't relate to NT people, lying and stealing ideas that aren't yours, living off others misery for profit. But co-morbids getting me down, like finding job I really reall... |

I don't understand the over reliance on government to do any caretaking work unless all parties are really incapable like being also disabled themselves or at deep end of poverty that they cannot feed themselves.

The problem is similar to that of profound autism. The diagnosis is becoming so wide that it’s almost meaningless and tells nothing about what that person’s needs are which is crucial. Why should autism become a convenient bin for the lazy psychiatric industry to dump cases where cause is unknown. W... |

These are parents who are proudly announcing in advance of conception (never mind birth) that they specifically intend to bear children to whom they will then deny the right to a normal childhood. In the UK, at any rate, there are laws prohibiting certain people from owning a dog. There are no laws... |

They are not specifically looking at autism in general rather the specific gene mutation that causes the autism. Mouse models exist across all genetic medical research not just autism. They are purpose created to measure the effects and potential rescue models as they are called for a particular gen... |
