[quote=Anonymous]Why is he so obsessed with autism? There are tons of conditions kids are born with that have effects comparable (and often diagnosed as) severe autism, often with additional significant physical disabilities, metabolic disorders, and such. But he has eliminated a team that provides guidance on newborn screenings to state health depts--learned this from a letter to the editor from a doctor who used to serve on the state health dept equivalent, since this is done through state law. The original test (heel prick) was to test for PKU (metabolic which causes an amino acid to build up and leads to intellectual disabilities and other problems). Now there are a couple of dozen--all tests which are reliable, for diseases which do have treatment. That national team has been disbanded. [/quote]
