[quote="Shelby"]But Psycho Jimmy, if her son is autistic then she may share the gene with us!!! No wait - according to a nurse I know, they believe autism travels on the male line.

I have heard the talk on here.[/quote] <br /> <br />I've seen the same thing happen before. Some time ago Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay posted a review of "Strange son" on Amazon, saying that it was like a slap in the face - he had considered Portia Iversen to be a friend, and her coming out with a book that described him in such ugly terms behind his back was a base move that ruined any trust he had had in her. The review was then repeatedly removed, until Tito commented on its deletion and remarked that it was, at best, strange. <br /> <br />It was disturbing to see him being denied any say when it came to a book that was, to a large extent, about himself. I got the impression that Iversen had used Tito (and Soma) as a means to an end, and once the end was achieved, she simply tried to discard and silence him. <br /> <br />It's more than just an abstract notion of "not seeing anything positive about autism". <br /> <br />As for McCarthy, I'll keep my opinion of her to myself. She's had some...blonde moments, to put it mildly, which make me doubt how well-informed she is with regard to autism and related issues. I can only hope she doesn't use any potentially hazardous and unproven "therapies" on her son because of it.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>blue_bean</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 5:44 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">That poor kid will probably grow up being forced to hide the autistic traits he will still have after his supposed "recovery", just so his mom can keep earning her money. <br />He'll be an anxiety-ridden mess by the end of his teen years.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>JohnnyCarcinogen</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 9:53 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">She's not hot to me. <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_cry.gif" alt="Crying or Very sad" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Acerimmer1</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 6:56 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Are we talking about the blonde ex-playmate.

She's promoting quack therapies with little scientific proof behind them, but that isn't necessarily abuse. OTOH, I am a bit disturbed by the excessive promotion of Evan as the poster-boy for "vaccine damage" and "autism recovery." I think that may well be harmful to him later in life. At a young age, his entire public identity is being constructed as someone who was "recovered" from autism. That's not stuff you call into CPS about, but it's nevertheless problematic. I'm sure my partner's parents thought he was "recovered" from autism at that age, too. (He was diagnosed PDD-NOS at a young age.) But he wasn't "cured" and was later diagnosed with AS. I can't imagine how much worse this may have been had his parents been foolish and egocentric enough to parade him around as a poster-child of "autism recovery." Of course, celebrities' kids frequently receive some questionable treatment.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>886</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://wrongplanet.cachefly.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 5:09 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Great letter.
