Re: Fwd: Statement by /Anger management

I do acknowledge that you and may be right, I really hope so.

However, applying pressure to get at the truth is no vice, treachery

may still be in the lurch.

I promote Autism Speaks events and announcements in the newsletter to

give them the benefit of the doubt. But there is still an epidemic we

face, so time's awastin'.

And there certainly no productive purpose to launch broadsides of

venom in our anger and frustration here. It only splatters a lot of

crap on innocent bystanders.

Well said, Lenny. We need to keep our eyes on the real prize: the

truth of causation and the hope of real cures. Those objectives will

be reached because of research. It appears that Autism Speaks will

control a lot of research. Right now, we have , who

apparently believes " that thimerosal contributed to [her son's]

illness, " and that biomedical interventions are the way to go. She is

in a position to influence the direction in which Autism Speaks may

go. If the price of that influence is that stays low-key for

now, we can live with that.

We're all a little leery of this organization, and wondering where

Autism Speaks stands. I too wish they would not cower from speaking

out now. But the fact that initially agreed to appear

tells me they may yet be on " our side. " Time will tell, but for now

let's give , if not Autism Speaks itself, the benefit of the doubt.
