This weeks' People - 6 autistic kids -

[Guest guest]

Featured in this weeks' People magazine is a story about a family in

Utah with 6 autistic children. The children were temporarily taken

away from their parents after the mom said to a social worker that

she should just burn their house down or something like that,

supposedly referring to the unsanitary mess the house had become...

Anyhooo, there is quote from (guess who!!), Suzanne and of

course a mention of the AS " advocacy group " . She even mentions her

grandson's plight.

The story ends with a blurb indicating genetic factors are present in

10-15% of ASD diagnoses. They mention the chromosome 16 finding.

They say these proportions are significant. And they say that

genetics is a likely cause in this family.

The story is on page 90 and is written by Sharon Cotliar.

There is no mention of vaccines, mercury, or Thimerosal.
