i have an autistic son and believe a.s. has links to enviormental pollution so i am for clean energy and more efficiant living. im not wanting to wait for change so i try to focus my energy on using less commercial energy and looking for ways to make my own here at home.

leo commented on the article |im the father of an as child. im no brain sciencetist or rocket surgeon but i do realize that everything is genetic and if my child is autiatic so must i be too. my question is that if the genes have been there for generations why is it then that in the past generation all of these genes have had their switches turned on ...so to speak? is it polution or our geneticaly altered food sources, either way im pretty sure that its not our genes that are the problem rather how our enviorment is affecting them.

leo commented on the article |WOW, where does one start! how about the saying ... you can teach the dumb, you can enlighten the ignorant.... but you just cant fix stupid!! sounds to me like this is all about a very well educated yet stupid teacher who is working for an ignorant school district run by a really dumb school board. i feel badly for the young Barton boy, however i feel just as bad for the other 16 children. i have a son on the spectrum so i know the pros and cons of how his wants and needs must be balanced with the needs of his classmates and i feel fortunate to be in a school district that tries to include him with his peers as much as possible. the real issue here is that in st Lucie schools they seem to forget that the most wonderful thing about young children is that they don't know how to hate other people it is something that we as adults teach them over time. it sure seems that the teacher in this case did a very good job at uniting 16 kids through a common cause and taught them some very democratic mob mentality. so now they know that maybe next year if they get a new kid in class that has a bad arm or a lame leg, maybe only one eye or has too many freckles or a big nose that they can simply vote that person out, of their class, of people that is! WOW
