do you think autism is genetic?

[Ronald Zeeman]

Does not mix well with politics also to much black and white thinking, why I ignored office politics or gossip.

Herbert's solution is diet for some symptoms, but not for persistent cognitive dysfunction.

Invoking the ICD-11 is no different than invoking the DSM-5, from whence ASD comes.

You seem to hold view #2 above, while I subscribe to view #3. We will just have to agree to disagree.

Herbert has no solutions outside of diet. Invoking the ICD in any form is invoking disease. Autism is not a disease so don't use it in any way shape or form. Discussion of Autism revolves around the DSM. That is where the diagnostic criteria resides.

No - I hold to number 4 which I gave - not number 2. 3 is totally wrong as it is NOT an injury whether it is ASD1, 2 or 3. Please do not put words into my mouth.

Also - we saw a boom of ASD2's after 1943. Remember - it was ZERO before that (the subjects of studies don't count towards those numbers because they weren't recognised). Just as it was zero for ASD1's and 3's prior to the 1980's.

If it needs a solution is a problem, human issues can be physical or spiritual.
