Insofar as Sandler's ...Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />Insofar as Sandler's work... I have seen nothing following up their specific findings with vancomycin, even after 12 years presence in the scientific literature. Granted there is the whole 'antibiotic resistance' worry but one would have at least expected some larger trials even to try and dispute their findings. That said there does seem to be more of a move to looking at gut bacteria and autism in recent times as per the Williams papers. Also, there was quite a nice review of probiotics and autism published recently (full-text): http://www.hindawi.com/journals/grp/2011/161358/<br /><br />I have post coming up soon on the potential double-edged sword that is antibiotics and autism.<br /><br />Having read the Irish Examiner article several times just to make sure that I didn't read it wrong, I can only shake my head with disappointment that some people still cling onto these psycho"anal"ytical views after all these years. I will openly say that Freud and related commentators and their ideas have probably been the most destructive force to autism down the years, hindering research and causing intense sadness and distress. It is high time that such notions were consigned to history.Paul Whiteleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288851488012254897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548560205914833324.post-89657935996414453912012-02-09T15:23:23.100+00:002012-02-09T15:23:23.100+00:00Sandler's work was very interesting.

Was there much follow up for that?http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/839783.stm (link to a bbc article)<br /><br />I initially became aware of you, and interested and stayed because of the PKU example. Wilsons Disease, Hemachromatosis (which a friend died of, because it was not diagnosed), Pyroxidone dependent epilepsy...To say autism is all in one's head and looking for the answers in the brain solely appears to be a little facetious.<br /><br />Perhaps the Psycho-"anal"-ists could have been on to something, if they could have pulled their head out. I'm sorry...I need to learn to shut up.Usethebrains Godgiveyouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026223483117357541noreply@blogger.com
