No, Wakefield’s Autistic Enterocolitis Does Not Exist
Listen to Andrew Wakefield talk for a while and he will tell you his work has been replicated. Usually claiming replicated multiple times and around the world. Since he says it, it gets repeated by his supporters in online discussions. For those who get dragged into those discussions, here is another paper to reference. This […]

Emerging evidence indicates that children with disabilities in general and with autism in particular are frequent victims of murder-suicide
The title a modified version of a line from a recent study: A Case Study of Paternal Filicide-Suicide: Personality Disorder, Motives, and Victim Choice. This is a topic that many of us, autistics and parents, have been aware of and trying to prevent for years. Parents and caregivers are killing people with disabilities. Not frequently, […]

Andrew Wakefield. He’s not anti-vaccine. He just thinks “This is a deliberate eugenics program, a deliberate population-control program.”
Remember the “ConspiraSea Cruise”? Well another story has come out on it, this time from Popular Mechanics: I Went on a Weeklong Cruise For Conspiracy Theorists. It Ended Poorly. I feel bad for grabbing one line from the story, as the whole story is quite good. But for now, let’s just take a look at […]

Polly Tommey, she won’t judge autism parents who murder, but judges Fiona O’Leary for just criticism
Readers here may recall this recent article: Polly Tommey won’t judge parents who murder their disabled children. That’s part of the problem. We discussed this video where Polly Tommey tells us about how she won’t judge parents who murder their autistic children. In a later video she used the “I haven’t walked in their shoes” […]

This is THE document that they produce that can influence how autism research money is allocated. Do you need something from autism research (almost certainly the answer is yes). Let the Committee know what specifically you want. Do you want better […]

It’s amusing and interesting to see people so concerned about protecting Wakefield, yet those same people don’t seem to mind that Jenny McCarthy’s son never had acutal autism. He has landau kleffner syndome.
Harry,
I’ve seen that speculated, even in the scientific literature by an expert, but have not seen it confirmed.
Harry, as Sullivan states I don’t know those claim has ever been confirmed so I think some benefit of doubt should be given that it is in fact autism. What concerns me more about Jenny is that she does not seem to openly talk about the intensive ABA her son did.
