Wong's Wormy Wormy Woo (and a little of Mercola's woo) and a deeper look into Helminthic Therapy for Autistic Kids
Chun Wong likes the woo. His latest article on his site, dated May
10, is about helminthic therapy for autism, or as I've decided to
call it, Wong's wormy wormy woo.
Wong loves to say there are studies, blah blah: "For example, it has been shown that some Autism symptoms are the result…

Epilepsy, Autism, Woo, Chun Wong and What the Science Really Shows
You gotta give
Chun
Wong props; he tries hard to rack up business. He posts
on forums, he's got a blog on autisable (linked above). He's
selling the woo and makes it appealing by appealing to the lowest
common denominator. Nothing says offensive like: "If
you want your family life back…

Milo T Has Issues, or The Great Chicken Snatching of Spring 2010

A Brief History of the Psychology Of Religion: See, You Just Don't Know What's Going To Show Up
Or, alternative title: messing with you. Ahh, you say, that's not
fair. We want woo! We want AoA smackdowns! Well, there's more to me
than woo-fighting and smacking down AoA. :-) Besides, this is
fascinating stuff in its own right and a good three months of
immersion went into the subject…

A Thelma Diversion: There's A Fight Indeed
Been busy times here in Stink Creek. Spring is always busy, and
what with the raisin and his unfortunate mishap, Louise and I have
been full-up busy cleaning up after Mamma H's shenanigans. There
was some powerful fall out from our hauling ass through the lovely
and somewhat tightly wound Stink… Read full post »

Cognitive Impairment and Autism: An Additional Study
In a recent post, I examined data for cognitive impairment in
autistic individuals. Another study examines data collected in 1996
from the same collection program. Yeargin-Allsopp et al. (2003)
write: "Children with autism were identified as part of the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention's (C/…

Possibilities and, well, Detritus....
Most the blogs here usually relate to autism, to AoA, or to other
woo out there. I've begun, though, to pretty much put whatever
suits me here, since placing the separate interests on other blogs
tends to mean they don't get read. I've been testing, over the last
month or so…

Autistic Regression, Cognitive Impairment, and Severity of Impairment: Real Numbers
There's a tremendous amount of research literature that does not
make it into public consumption. Coupling this lack of trickle down
with a voracious need to feel certainty where none may exist, many
parents faced with an autism diagnosis will gravitate towards those
individuals who offer the certain…

An In-Depth Look At Stretching

An In-Depth Look At Stretching
"They're not alarmed about children who were talking and

Warped Reality
"The truth is their efforts are a travesty. They show no
interest in the suffering of countless children. They're not
alarmed about children who were talking and potty trained as two
year olds and are now non-verbal and in diapers as teenagers.
They're not interested in why so…

Each Day A Gift
Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression;
some are pensive and diffident;
others again are plain, honest and upright,
like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock."

Holy Crap on a Cracker: Quote Mining Cuz I can
Wow. wow. wow. You know, you couldn't make this up if you tried. I
had a spot of time this morning and the inclination to wander
through the AoA comments, which always offer up nuggets so profound
that I just absolutely felt the need to share the collective wisdom

Because They're Pretty, and Some Days Are Harder Than Others
On the plus side, I've been, I believe, compared to Orac over at Huff. Not the first time in the past week that it's been suggested I keep illustrious company. I'm honored to be considered to be in a club that involves reasoning and evidence-based practices. I believe scientific research and/…

Short Response to AoA
Hungry JB has another
"hungry lie" post up; this time over Frontline.
Don't bother to read it; it's the same old thing. My short response: not even wrong and beyond pathetic.
Don't bother to read it; it's the same old thing. My short response: not even wrong and beyond pathetic.
Age of Autism and Huffington Post offer the opportunity to
rubberneck at depths of ignorance one only imagined possible. I
know, I sound like a broken record, but the fact that there's a
layer of moderation between the ignorance, nastiness, and often
outright stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

Conspiracies Everywhere and a Critical Failure of Reading Comprehension
"This is Dr. Offit's
real job. He conducts seminars and webinars to provide talking
points on how to address vaccine safety concerns so as
to protect stakeholders." AoA just can't get
their crap together.
