    Contrary to what the anti-vax liars are trying to do, neither Poling or Banks contradict the Omnibus decisions. In the former cases, there was either an intervening condition (ADEM Banks) or a pre-existing condition (mitochondrial disease Poling), and in the Omnibus cases they attempted to prove direct causation. Of course, they could not, there is no proof what-so-ever of that.

    Dr. Paul Offit's book, especially Autism's False Prophets, are worthy reads. Dr. Offit's research has saved thousands of lives, and he has dedicated the profits from his book to Autism research. It is a worthy read.

    Kudos on a well balanced and thought out blog. Finally, a blog where the principals represent both autistics and those that love them. Myyounger son, who has CP, is part of every decision we make for him. He has substantial input, and his ideas are respected.

    I spent a lot of time reading the questions when I searched on Autism. What I found was that the overwhelming majority of questions concerned themselves with helping families with handling the massive expenses and demands that they have because one, or more, of the family just so happens to be autistic. People need help with insurance, proper education services, family support, help with safe and effective treatments. It looks as if blog will be a voice for change.

    As for the naysayers, Mr. Obama has made it quite clear that his administration is de-politicizing science, and will be science based. His designees from Eric Holder, the AG, on down, are all sound thinkers and science oriented.

    PS To admin. The spell checker does not work.
