Lin! Autism Bully Alert

"If you say it, you'll see it" has now been proven by science.

If you say bullying you'll see bullying. Be careful out there Lin, we heard there was a bully about!

Be wise.

We hope Lin will be asking every politician: "When are you going to legalise Cannabis for Autism?"

Hyper-nutrition as a driver for ASD

When you were an egg in your mummy's tummy when your grandmother was pregnant with your mother, your great-great grandmother, your great-grandmother, and your grandmother all sang a song to your mother, and that song was taught to your great-great grandmother by your great-great-great-great grandmother, you heard it, and it's encoding onto your 'junk dna' was reinforced. That song spanned six generations of women, sometimes it can span as many as ten generations.

Nothing new here, just a slightly more politically correct hypothesis for a possible 'cause' of autism than the one presented in the previous post.

Looking at this, this and now this, along with the baffling set of demographic correlates for ASD, one finds it hard to ignore the possibility that these correlates are all compatible with a streamlining of the diet, maybe over a small number of generations, giving rise to exploratory evolutionary changes in the human race.

The only thing that autistic people have in common is the triad of social impairments, which could be a fundamental requirement for exploratory evolution. As for the rest of the differences we find from one autistic individual to the next, there seems to be no end to the variation. As if mother nature is telling the human race to let it's hair down and find a new trend!

It's a good look, but we can read right between your lines, Orac.

A statement of fact cannot be insolent. Unless that fact, should it become public, is a threat to certain activities and interests.

Orac has a particular Modus Operandus, and a very easy task. It is his self appointed role to de-construct fallacy in medicine. Something he does expertly, wittily, and with great precision and thoroughness.

He and his commentariat have infinite patience and capacity with their adversaries in the anti-pashmina movement. No argument or admission goes un-addressed.

Anything Th1Th2 says is given a certain treatment.

Not so, Jacob and Slartibartfastibast who, with their respective offerings of cannabis therapy for autism and the neanderthal admixture hypothesis for autism...

Why no Orac treatment? Could it be that these two hypotheses are a threat in some way to Orac and friends?

What does that tell you?

When visiting a new website or blog, of which I probably visit a couple of dozen a day, I always do a search for the other half, see if the two are married yet?

If a 'cannabis' website has no information about cannabis for autism, they are always happy to entertain the concept.

If an 'autism' website has no information about cannabis for autism, they are sometimes happy to entertain.

From that perspective, the odds look good. Examples to come..

Of course, if you go to someone's blog, an autism expert or commentator, there is usually no mention of cannabis therapy. If you bring it up they will accuse you of being off-topic. They will not bring up the topic themselves so there is no 'on-topic' insertion point for correct entry. They fail logic.

All the tricks will be explained here. They are accustomed to combating fallacies rather than a suppressed truth, so they are batting a little curved at this early stage in the game that we control.
