| Another thought in this regard, perhaps conspiracy theories (the intuitively convincing but not factual in particular) are best looked at as unwitting political science fiction; science fiction in that they end up essentially being hypothesis-based admonishments against what very well could happen ... |

| It wasn't the basis of my study, but I did study it somewhat within the context of Holocaust Denial and the mindset and language of Denial groups, 9/11 " truthers", NWO theorists all intertwine because they all base their " facts" on each other. My focus was primarily in European History/Middle Eas... |

I also studied conspiracy theories in the context of Holocaust Denial for my History degree and their is very li... |

| The article does leave more information to be desired. Jeremy, I'm not sure if the school can release that information in any event. I can't realistically see an IEP allowing a "box" but not detention. Hey you never know..He does have " Self-Esteem" issues that the Parents have proactively tried to... |

| The nomenclature is wrong, to be sure. Separation in the midst of the student's peers certainly seems miguided. But does that mean that the strategy of separating a disruptive student is misguided? We are not provided with any insight into what steps to deal with distuptive behaviour were included ... |

| Dr. Gupta tried, but I think he was off the mark. He should have emphasized that not everyone with Asperger's experience the same symptoms. He flatly, and erroneously, stated that children with Asperger's won't say hi back to you when you say hi to them first. He also left out the bits about stimmi... |

| I am a 22 year old female and about three weeks ago I had a neuropsych to test for Aspergers. I got the results today and the doctor says I don't have it. She thinks I have ADHD and social anxiety. I disagree with her though. I still think I have Aspergers. Less then a year ago, my psychologist, wh... |

| I do not subscribe to the " Lets bash Autism speaks" dogma that seems to be prevalent in our Asperger community. I wonder how many of you have met or seen the severely autistic or more traditional Kanner version of Autism? We seem to forget in our community that Autism Speaks is searching for a cure... |
