Autism disorders present serious challenges that impair the lives of many who suffer from them. If public money is spent on the research which it usually is then why shouldn't parents ask whether the money could be better spent on research that determined causes, biological bases of autism, possible treatments instead of "research" about parents dating inclinations?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05838571980003579163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33052404.post-36050823231884242392011-11-25T09:09:25.677-04:002011-11-25T09:09:25.677-04:00Why are people bothering this man?

I don't feel so alone in my visceral reaction to Simon Baron Cohen. <br /><br />When he spoke of autistic's "zero degrees of empathy" in his book, <i>The Science of Evil </i>, I quit listening. I can't imagine what he hoped to acheive besides further alienation towards a people who could least afford it. It's as though he was using fear to garner up press.<br /><br />Dr. Cohen's brilliance has gone to his head. He needs a heart, as well.Usethebrains Godgiveyouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026223483117357541noreply@blogger.com
