In reply to the discussion: SOME DOCTORS WON'T SEE PATIENTS WITH ANTI-VACCINE VIEWS [View all]Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)64. If you are autistic, you were born with it.
Thomas Insel is right, autism IS multifaceted, which is why it's a SPECTRUM disorder. It's not two different things, it's MANY different things, all with something in common during early development.
Quit quote mining.
Megan Davenhall is nothing more than a parent with no medical/science background. She spouts woo because her child is autistic and she has to blame SOMETHING. She is nothing. No one. No education. Thinking Mom, my ass. Her thoughts are bullshit. Everything you have posted is bullshit.
Once again, woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo.

It's hard to justify hiding unpopular material when it's clearly fact based science, and DU has not.
