| But if going after that tax deduction costs them business through a boycott (countering the financial and taxation advantages of donations) they'll think twice wouldn't they? Well, yes. However then they will be cautious about donating to any charity. Even autism self-advocacy groups. Not neccessar... |

Nah, they'd find other sponsors, and I doubt most of the sponsors of Autism Speaks have anything but the best intentions in mind. The... |

| Newport, when I said "That is nearly impossible" I was actually referred to the likelihood of achild going through the first two years of life without a viral infection, not any adjustments. I agree that adjustments should indeed be made. The stupid thing about the Hannah Poling case from what I cou... |

| For me the big threat is confusion. That can happen either when there's too much going on, an ill timed distraction that doesn't have an instant logical reaction, or simply someone who appears not to be listening for no discernable reason. And that's just off the top of my head. I'm very sensitive t... |

| Here's a good way. Have a partner who needs the net connection for other things (and a lot of bandwidth), and you'll be able to set a time limit. Also get involved in off computer things. Get out of the house. I designate two days for this - Tuesday and Saturday. It also helps that I have an interes... |

She speaks glowingly about her son and her fight to end his seizures and help his Autism symptoms. But, her biggest fight is for doctors to reconsider the vaccine sche... |

| She was convinced that vaccines caused autism, saying that the CDC could eat their words when they said otherwise. She was supposed to be talking about that, but I felt she was intolerant of anyone who didn't believe what she did. Among other things she said that her child died when he developed au... |

| Pardon me for getting so personal, but that's your problem, you react, you don't respond. For example, after clear and explicit warnings you continue to argue with a moderator. Because you are with holding information that I need. The behaviors I object to have been clearly spelled out for you. No ... |
