I totaly agree with all you said, I can assure you that i spend hours and hours before give you that result, i continue to test that thing and it works very well. I will open a new topics with easier explanation. I know it's difficult to understand but after compare hundreds of people i can assure there are a clear difference between eyes of autistics person and the others.
I understand that. A good study though, is never performed by a single person. Studies performed by one person only are nearly always biased. It's just a fact of statistical studies. That's why real studies are performed by groups of researchers. The whole point of having other people involved is because the more eyes you have, the more likely it is somebody will catch any flaws in the study.
One person performing everything from data collection to analysis is never taken seriously. A single minded approach is always prone to bias.
I'm not saying you're wrong to do what you're doing. Just be aware that all you are really doing is building on a theory. No valid conclusions could ever be drawn from it.

So I'm requesting my account be locked, banned or whatever. It's just time. Until then, well, I dunno...
