| 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... |

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... |

| 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... |

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... |

I never meant get off as in walk free rather get off from the death penalty.
Quote: . The diagnosis is mostly relevant in terms of it not being constitutional to execute the developmentally disabled
