If you are new to the question of autism and its causes, and come across this story early on in your search for answers, chances are it might be pretty influential. But something has been bugging me about the story since I first read it. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, so I haven’t written about it until now. It was a discussion I had with Autistic Bitch From Hell in the comments to my recent post A View From the Middle that made me realize what was so troubling to me about the story. Here are Obradovic&#82... 29 Marbles blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1366677 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:51:00 +0100 1366677 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1321801&cid=t_168392_133_f&fid=35109&url=http%3A%2F%2Fleftbrainrightbrain.co.uk%2F%3Fp%3D753 As I’ve pointed out, Kirby has messed up his maths on the Huffington post blog. He’s now done much the same in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution article (clearly, their Editor does not check for mathematical errors, or general stupid). Kirby’s article is titled “Give us answers on vaccines”: I don’t expect any answers from Kirby, but correct sums would be a start. Kirby argues that: Most striking is how typical Hannah’s cellular dysfunction [mitochondrial disorder] may be among children with autism. While extremely rare in the general population, at two per 10,000 people, it seems unusually common in autism — with estimates up to 2,000 per 10,000. To go over these figures again – a 2,000 per 10,000 incidence of mitochondrial disorder am...

Today, they got a bit of a reality check. The New York Times discussed an NYT article in which parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids say: I refuse to sacrifice my children for the greater good,” said Sybil Carlson, whose 6-year-old son goes to school with several of the children hit by the measles outbreak here…..........Ms. Carlson said she understood what was at stake. “I cannot deny that my child can put someone else at risk,” she said. This piece was written in the wake of a measles outbreak in San Diego: In a highly unusual outbreak of measles here last month, 12 children fell ill; nine of them had not...

A couple of things you will likely notice: 29 Marbles has moved from its home on Blogger its own address at http://autism.gbrettmiller.com, and I’ve switched from Blogger to WordPress. I did this for several reasons, but mostly I was taking my own advice to “own my data”. The feed for 29 Marbles is still http://feeds.feedburner.com/29Marbles, so you should not lose your subscription. (I think you may have received a feed “refresh” of the last few posts, but that should be OK.) The left hand column is for information related directly to 29 Marbles, such as the search function, feed subscri... 29 Marbles blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1311034 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 12:41:38 +0100 1311034 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1280788&cid=t_168392_133_f&fid=35109&url=http%3A%2F%2Fleftbrainrightbrain.co.uk%2F%3Fp%3D741 As noted by Catherina in a previous thread, David Kirby went on US morning show Imus to talk about autism, vaccines and the recent so called ‘concession report’. Here’s the snippet Catherina highlighted: IMUS: Why haven’t we read about that in the NY Times or seen it on NBC nightly news? DAVID: Well, the NY Times is not particularly interested in this story. There are reporters out there this week trying to cover it, but, until the family gets permission from government to speak, I’m not sure how much coverage it actually is going to get. You know, I love being on your show, but, I wish instead of me being here this morning, you have somebody from the HHS. Because what we basically have over there is a wall of silence. *Why is it not okay to talk about ...

Or even about the autism. Meet Kim. Kim likes to say things like: “Some days you’re the windshield. Some days you’re the bug.” This week I was the bug. And the autism world (those of us who care about helping kids feel better that is) have been “the bug” for a long time. So today I took off the gloves on HuffPo. I might have even taken off my bra and panties Um. Form an orderly queue gents? So Kim – she who is part of the community who care about helping kids feel better – posts a good ol’ rant on Huff Po: Moms and Dads are waking up and refusing to drink the Kool Aid offered by their patronizing pediatrician, CDC Pharma shill, FDA schmuck…..When docs start pushing a &#822...

She and cofounder Angela Medlin came all the way from balmy North Carolina to freeze in front of the AAP, abetted by TACA and NAA Chicago, led by Chapter Development Director Karen McDonough. This was their fifth rally outside the AAP, timed to greet employees arriving at work and remind them that thousands of American families believe vaccines have triggered an epidemic of autism and other developmental and chronic health disorders. And here is the proof positive of the teeming throngs of ‘thousands of American families’. You can click the image to make it bigger. Sadly it doesn’t increase the amount of attend...

NANCY MINSHEW & ME: WHO’S CRAZY?’. The temptation to reply with a one word answer starting in ‘y’ and ending in ‘ou’ is nearly irresistible so I’ll resist it. Let us instead examine Brad’s criteria for deciding on who is crazy and who is not between Dr Minshew and he. I disagree with almost every single thing you have written or said about autism. Since we both can’t possibly be right, one of us has to be crazy. I’m scared to death it might be me. As a psychiatrist, I thought you could help. Says Brad to Dr Minshew in an email. He then continues with: It is maddening for parents like me that our “experts” can’t ag...
