[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is this one lunatic on this thread arguing with a ton of people?  They apparently have a really, really vested interest in fighting the mere possibility that inflammation be even mentioned in the same sentence as ASD.

Which is really interesting and gets to the whole original point of this thread/new study:  As you expand the definition of autism, and the spectrum gets wider, do you create a greater likelihood of non-shared interests and infighting -- resulting in people less likely to have their needs heard and met?

Certainly sounds like it, based on just the one really loud voice in this thread.  [/quote]

I have a vested interest in countering pseudoscience. Autism has been a lightening rod for pseudoscience and quackery since forever. It’s very important to be on the lookout for it. It’s not “infighting.” [/quote]
DP. There are numerous articles about how autism research has focused on only a small handful of items (largely because most of the research is funded by just 3 sources) so there’s not really enough research to even say if something is pseudoscience or not. [/quote]

Pseudoscience? Harvard would disagree...

+1.  I'm the poster about who was confounded that this one poster thinks the inflammation link is psuedoscience.  I thought it was a pretty well acknowledged "potential" path of research, but one that has limitations too.  There are a lot of major research organizations, mainstream journals, etc recognizing there is probably work to be done down this route. [/quote]

Then you're both idiots who can't read. The article literally says that the scans show LOW levels of the marker/protein that is tied to brain inflammation.
