David Kirby's next book, "Death at Sea World," isn't out till July but already there are two petitions against it. You know, don't buy it, don't read it, don't believe it. Kinda familiar, eh?

Cave Walls
By Kim Stagliano
May 25, 1961, President Kennedy declares before Congress that America is to send a man to the moon before the end of the decade. July 20, 1969. Mission accomplished.
October 1939, President Roosevelt is warned of the possibility of nuclear weapons. In 1941, The Manhattan project is launched. August 6 and 9, 1945, Hiroshima and Nagasaki are destroyed by US nuclear bombs.
1943, Dr. Leo Kanner first describes autism. 66 years later, we're still drawing bison on cave walls with sticks.
Kim Stagliano is Managing Editor of Age of Autism.

Good point Kim. In the case of Roosevelt and Kennedy, there wasn't a vast array of corruption, collusion, and cover-up involved. Lots of people out here with everything at stake in denying this is happening.

When you unite people against a common enemy you can do a lot.
Unfortunately, in autism (and global warming) the enemy is us.
OR
The first step is admitting you've got a problem. With the German's bombing Britain or the Russians returning a man from space it was pretty easy to see the problem. With autism we're still in denial.
Maybe Mark and David should have pounded their shoes on the table at the briefing and yelled, "Autism will bury you" a la Khrushchev.

The Neaderthals went extinct didn't they?
Some people in medical community like the comfort of the cave.. they hide in the dark and never venture into the real world.
Fortuntately there are others who are bold and are interested in exploring the world beyond the cave. They are pioneers. They are our hope.
