As someone who has written reasonably extensively about autism, I often receive letters espousing theories of the causes of autism or promoting various cures. One such letter I received recently said, in part:
Autism is a congenital-disease, but not purely genetic; which is steered by the planetary effects, particularly the Moon is responsible for the said disease…
In a nut shell, this could be said that autism is purely a lunatic but a semi-genetic disease. I can help to combat autism, with the knowledge of astrology, provided being offered with a conducive environment of work. But, of course you should get my work tested.
Coming on the heels of the conviction of Ray Hemphill for killing an eight-year old autistic child while trying to exorcise the demons he believed caused the child’s autism (see the post immediately below), I am having a little difficulty in finding my sense of humor.
