Hey everyone,

Salon magazine just published my article on Connor and the

autism/vaccine connection--you can check it out at http://www.salon.com.

One of Salon's Health writers, Arthur , wrote a " counterpoint " to

my piece--he's very pro-vaccine--and if you don't like what he says, I

hope you will respond with some feedback. Salon has a readership of four

million, so the autism community should get some good exposure from the

piece.

I talked with our good senator, Mike Polak, and he's agreed to help us

and talk to people he knows at DFACS about funding for ABA in Georgia.

I'm getting him some research now. The article will help the cause--I

talk about the benefits of ABA and how it's not covered by insurance.

Best,

I am very disturbed by the response to the article written by Lesli Mitchel

about autism that was published on Salon.com. I can't beleive the blatant

scare tactics employed. But most shocking is the quote by Dr.

Rodier:

" Having your national research agenda run by crazy people is not the best

thing, " says Dr. Rodier, an autism researcher at the University of

Rochester. " The tragedy is that we're spending money that could help us find

the real causes of autism. "

She simultaneously dismisses the possibility of a causal relationship between

the MMR and autism while she admits that no research has been done on the

subject and if she had her way there never would be any research. How

idiotic is that?

Where have a heard this whole line before? Oh ya. It was OJ, saying " I just

want to find the real killers " . Right! Give me a break.
