| Scotland might be the new place for Aspies. They have free healthcare and are very understanding of special needs. Plus they are about to go independent and become a new nation. |

| ...Dr. Thompson wrote a letter to CDC Director Julie Gerberding ten days before the landmark 2004 article came out pointing out that the vaccine was associated with a significantly increased risk in autism in African American babies.

| Thanks Feralucce for the enlightenment! It is definitely something to consider and I do like to keep an open mind. We are still in the early stages of fully understanding all the internal and external factors and definitive causes. |
