I have commented on his article and Dr. Fischback also commented on my suggestions of what was left off the SFARI Autism's top scientific achievements in autism research in 2011.

"I am only a mother" is worth a thousand scientific papers because (a) parents know their children best and across many different situations and (b) most of the major advances in autism so far - Lorna Wing, Bernard Rimland, et al - have come from mums and dads (as has quite a bit of the funding for research).

I hope this is the year of understanding.<br /><br />I am only a mother but I feel autism is 1)systemic 2)variable 3)biological in etiology when it comes to severe autism...and yes, autism-lite can be a "way of being" because most adaptions are spared. Did I say it was systemic?<br /><br />Well, whatever it is, it affects every cell. Just a hunch, because you can see the physical manifestations as the intensity increases, on a muscular level, you can sense them in the ability to interact with the world on a comfort (sensorially) level. I wonder if there is such a thing as an autistic cell.Sorry...tangent.<br /><br />Thank you for your posts. I look forward to reading them. Someone has the key to understanding, and maybe this is the year it is all put together.Usethebrains Godgiveyouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026223483117357541noreply@blogger.com
