Re: Important Point Overlooked In This Debate
quote:
Autism is largely, but not entirely, just a modern and more politically correct way to say 'mentally retarded,' the term they used to use when I was young. There is no such thing as more cases of autism, just more diagnoses of autism. I am sure I am not the first to point out this fact, but hey, who cares about facts when lives are at stake?
Autistic children do not have to be mentally retarded..some are prettying intelligent actually.
Just curious, how do you account for the anomoly that among the amish ,who have a religious bias against vaccines, there is virtually no Autism. The few rare cases are children that WERE vaccinated.
