Hello to some former EVE pilots

Maybe your boys aren`t autistic, but just smart?

You can have stupid autistic people. I'm sure they wouldn't say their kid was autistic if they weren't diagnosed and I'd trust the opinion of a medical professional over some rando on the net.

Yea, I`ve always had a suspicion that what we call `autistic` today for most kids is really just being normal, inquisitive and active, especially when it comes to boys.

If that was really the case then there would be no cause for getting a child tested then and thus the condition wouldn't have been defined in the first place.

"Oh doctor, my child is being ACTIVE AND INQUISITIVE!"

"EGADS, HE MUST HAVE THE AUTISM"

I knew it! Damn vaccines!



Loved the thread, though.
Especially the stealth and cunning James Mod (aka Alan or 00X) moved it to "Off Topic".
