Description: The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) is a Federal advisory committee that coordinates all efforts within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) concerning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Through its inclusion of both Federal and public members, the IACC helps to ensure that a wide range of ideas and perspectives are represented and discussed in a public forum.
The IACC mission is to:
Provide advice to the Secretary of Health and Human Services regarding Federal activities related to autism spectrum disorder.
Facilitate the exchange of information on and coordination of ASD activities among the member agencies and organizations.
Increase public understanding of the member agencies' activities, programs, policies, and research by providing a public forum for discussions related to ASD research and services.
IACC meetings are open to the public and include presentations and discussions on a variety of topics, including activities and projects of the IACC, recent advances in science and autism policy issues. A portion of each meeting is reserved for public comment.

I wonder if bringing up the brain scans of vaccinated monkeys would end the "exciting new discovery of larger than average heads" discussion, even though it should indicate an "exciting new avenue" of research.

I want to stick my head in the oven every time I hear a diatribe about the exciting new discovery that ASD toddlers have larger than average heads. This useless discussion is an IACC speciality.

IACC the Brush
Oh, they are dancing the two step that would make the best of politicians have to blush!
They say it is not genetics, but are sure genetics in part ot this rising,epidemic rush.
It is probably 30,000 things in the environment,a good, chemical soup very
lush!
Oh, they dance a little side step that would make the very worst of politicians blush!
Studies of 30,000 chemicals,and 21 years of knocking on doors is the lap of luxury, so plush!
But it is not anything about contaminated vaccines,for that theory we will
crush.
Oh, they are doing dancing that two step that would make the most crooky politician, blush!
They ask why it is rising more in certian areas which brings the meeting to a
hush.
The answer is thirty educated guesses, a smug answer that is really just
mush!
Oh, they are doing a little two step, even the most evil of politicains would have to blush!
Retrovirus and Vaccines, the two V's;the Denmark study gave that theory a toilet flush!
They theorize; genetic coupling with modern living, give the real causes a kick in the tush!
Oh, they are doing the two step and even the most stupid of politicians would
blush!
