They call it an epidemic like always. I'm not an epidemic, I'm a healthy individual.

Thanks for posting that, it was enlightening. I wonder if there will be further studies aimed at duplicating the results.

If you don't call it an epidemic how can you scare people into giving money?

I don't think much of the DailyMail but to be fair they did use inverted comma's on the 'Autism epidemic'.

That was very interesting. Thank you for sharing. I found it interesting that 18 out of 100 men and only 2 our of 100 women were diagnosed with it. I wonder if that puts a damper on the theory that women are under-diagnosed because we present our symptoms differently.
