25. I am not "hostile" to science. I AM a scientist. I am "hostile" to pseudo-

-science. Particularly when there are so many pseudoscientific "studies", "claims" and "treatments" that directly affect those with a condition shared by my son. They detract funding and attention to legitimate research and treatment into autism, to the detriment of those with autism.

When such studies come out, I will argue against their validity (while informally), as will those in the field (more formally). THAT is part of the scientific method.

And my entire point is that "the data, as presented" DOES NOT show "that this is a risk factor worthy of additional study".
