Didn't Autism Speaks join the A-CHAMP coalition in NY to help push

through the insurance bill?

As for the high salary for the director of AS, I think we need more

solid information before we go off huffing and puffing about it, yes?

Generally, in the corporate management world, as in the rest of the

marketplace, you get what you pay for. For a million dollar baby, I

would expect million dollar results. I personally don't mind

individuals or corporations getting filthy rich doing what they do as

long as they produce and earn it fair-and-square, gray areas

notwithstanding.

Hey Lenny,

I'll take his job for a lot less salary. How hard can it be to bury

my head in the sand while others with an agenda dole out research $ to

their pals. (In fact, it might make some people happy to see me with

my head buried in the sand.)

[Guest guest]

At walmart today I brought up autism with the cashier. She was an

elderly lady who asked me if I'd heard on the news the other night

just how many kids had autism. I then suggested if interested she get

the book Evidence of Harm by Kirby, that it would explain the

rise in autism very well. She told me she'd definitely get a copy very

soon, 'cause she was very interested in learning more.

Anyone know if Walmart carries EOH?
