Philip Keller,
- There are two great longings on the part of a person confronted with an issue as complex and controversial as this one:
1. The first is that no person he or she cares about will be negatively affected by the illness being argued about.
2. The second is that he or she will be able to find some easy out one-liner that will relieve him or her of the responsibility of investing major time and work doing a large amount of research. Hence the appeal of trusting others to do the work.
- Philip, you have amply displayed here the second longing.

Time is limited and the internet is vast. So it is reasonable to consider
the source of information before you invest 40 hours studying "both sides".
I am not making an ad hominem argument. But I am also not discarding the
value of peer review and the scientific community.

Bernard,
- What you have just written again makes it evident that you have not done
your homework as I had urged.
- I could go on for a week or more answering your specific questions or
challenging your specific mal-assertions one at a time, while, if you had
done your homework you would have saved us both a lot of time and work.
- Again: there are no shortcuts.
- Of course my bias is obvious, but my main message is that one should
thoroughly self-inform on both sides of the issue, then decide for
him/herself where the truths must lie.
- Be suspicious of anyone who opposes or pulls you away from, an objective
search for an array of truths. What would they have to lose?
- By the way, it seems that the best way to find my autism transcript is
to do a search on just, “Billy D. Norwood.”
- Among the mostly personal snooping hits and anti-tobacco hits, and other
autism hits, one will find two hits about my transcript of the documentary,
Autism: Made in the USA.
Thanks for reading.
