Hello Larry
In relation to your claim of knowledge of the heriditary nature of Autism
which I am not disputing, do you know if there has been any evidence of
genetic markers? Also, are there any thoughts on multifactorial and or
polygenic "causes" for Autism? For example, a genetic predisposition
(involving one or many or fragments of genes) alongside environmental
factors including vaccination?

Subject: Re: Research clears MMR with Autism.... What's the future now?
| I happen to know that autism is hereditary, not a conspiracy
|
| In the United states there is a high degree of irrationalism driven by the
| cultural necessity in that society of blaming someone and then trying to
get
| compensation.
|
| Because a case is won in court does not mean that a scientific fact has
been
| established, else we would still be holiding to the vaticans decisions
with
| regard to Galileo.
|
| I think we would be wasting valuable money, wasting valuable scientists,
if
| we were not spending the money on providing services for autism in all its
| manifestations and levels.
|
| Some people though, think in headlines and slogans, read a piece of
reserch
| but do not criticically evaluate it and masss hysteria results.
|
| I too have aspergers, but I do not believe one half of what Colin does,
nor
| do I go about my life finding things to condemn all the time even if it
| appears that way.
