I wish I'd read this at the time, you said it much better than I did in my email to him. <br />I also read something once about chelation in The Skeptical Enquirer, where they prefaced their entire article with a paragraph about how tragic autism was. So I sent them a stern letter saying that people with autism make up a part of their readership, and it would be wise in the future to not insult us by implying our existence is a disease. <br />They never published it, oddly enough.Leah Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16798094383285526940noreply@blogger.com
