Lenny,

Did you know that the good doctor Benedek is a member of the Founder's

Circle of the American Council of Science and Health? She is in the

fabulous company of Barrett, the discredited core of

Quackwatch. For more information about ACSH, see prwatch.org; for info

God, I have been obsessing on this email

all day (no diagnosis I swear!)

Folks like this just make me so angry. So

should we give up on our kids because science/medicine says autism is all

neurology and the misfortune of mating practices?

I know these a-holes have already given

up on our kids. I am not and I am sure the folks on this list are not.

She is going down with her warped mind on

myths and legends of the past….

It is all about healing our kids to prove

dorks like this wrong.

Sorry I cannot say/type anything intelligent

when I am pissed

Rant of angry is officially done (and it

aint even my time of the month!)

Hugs

A Jeff's mom

Hmm. I wonder how long it will be before concerned citizans stand

up and start asking about the incredible epidemic of myopic morons

there are nowadays. I certainly hope help arrives in time for dear

little 'Lissa ;-P

I can't wait to tell my husband about the 'misfortunate mating

practice' theory. He'll think it's a hoot, lol.
