		<description>This is a blog. You&#039;re going to get comments. Don&#039;t give commenters grief. If you want to ask me and only me a question, use the contact form.

_&quot;I would like to know what your opinion is on how children become Autistic?&quot;_

I don&#039;t know. My opinion is that it is mostly genetic with some environmental aspect.

_&quot;What do you believe is the cause for Autism?&quot;_

See above.

_&quot;Also, can autism be treated? If so, would you recommend any of these popular myths/theories such as the GF/CF Diet?&quot;_


I don&#039;t think autism can be treated, no. I think some things (PECS/SaLT/etc) help with certain aspects that are associated with autism. I don&#039;t believe these things treat autism directly however.</description>

		<description>Sullivan,

Next time I want your opinion I will ask you.  My questions did not assume anything.  Therefore they were just questions.  Your answers were not good and not well posed anyways.  What are you a scientist?  Now that was a great question might I add well posed.  Never mind.  Have a Good day.

Kev,

Please forgive my &quot;not well posed&quot; questions.  I am simply asking what your opinions are and what you as a father have done such as in therapies that have been given in the aid of your daughters progression.</description>

		<description>Breaking news.... a federal judge has sanctioned Clifford Shoemaker... hah!

http://www.citmedialaw.org/blog/2008/judge-sanctions-lawyer-issuing-subpoena-blogger-kathleen-seidelA 
&quot;A federal magistrate judge in New Hampshire has sanctioned Clifford Shoemaker, a Virginia attorney, for abusing the legal process by issuing a subpoena to Kathleen Seidel.&quot;
...&quot;In the end, the judge didn&#039;t order Shoemaker to pay a monetary sanction, but he did order the Virginia lawyer to attend ethics training and directed his court clerk to notify the Virginia State Bar so that it could consider disciplinary action on its own. 

Shoemaker and his client have a right to disagree with Seidel and, if they think they&#039;ve been the victims of a conspiracy, to sue her.  But they don&#039;t have a right to misuse the legal system to coerce a critic to &quot;shut up.&quot;  As I&#039;ve noted before, we all lose when we allow that to happen. &quot;

Yay!!!</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt; I would like to know what your opinion is on how children become Autistic?&lt;/i&gt;

There are many causes of autism and there are many variants of autism.  The question is not a good one just based on that.

However, the question also assumes that kids &quot;become&quot; autistic rather than are autistic.  Even for kids who regress, there is evidence that in at least some of the cases the causation happened before birth.  For others, even though they regress, they had signs before the regression.

It is not a good question and not well posed.</description>

		<description>Kev,

I must say that you make a strong point.  However, how can we be certain who is right and who is wrong?  I would like to know what your opinion is on how children become Autistic?  What do you believe is the cause for Autism?  Also, can autism be treated?  If so, would you recommend any of these popular myths/theories such as the GF/CF Diet?  Please update us on what type of proven therapies you have chosen for your daughter&#039;s progression.</description>

		<description>You know, I think they summed up their real scientific and cosmological experience in the words of one of their own mouthpeices. &quot;Bullshit!&quot;</description>

		<description>Hi century
Well, the translation was difficult for me; but it would be more like-even when I do not consider so right 
“it made my hairs rigid from the begin to the end of them” 
The graphic that is evoked when you say something like this in spanish is the punk hair with all the hairs of the head straight rigid, like an angry &quot;hedgehog&quot;- erizo in spanish. 
Sorry I have not found a better explanation. There are plenty of this local language uses and they are difficult to translate.</description>
