Well, I know that magazine is now unreliable in my eyes, and I will never buy it and discourage others from getting it.

Not exactly a journal, just a (bad) magazine. I don't buy SAÚDE anymore, it is a waste of time.

I see...and stand corrected.

Why would a magazine publish information like that?

To write that article, the magazine contacted a psychiatrist on one of the most important Brazilian hospitals (I won't print their name). It's sad to see that even top-ranked doctors say bullshits like that. The magazine just quoted her, but they must have, at least, verified the data or sought a second opinion before publishing.

For those interested in their bullshits, this is the magazine's website: http://saude.abril.com.br

Oh it's Abril's is it? There are worse out there, but they're not meant to be taken seriously. :roll:

You've probably seen it though. I thought it was ridiculous.

That's not autism, that's RAD.
