Interesting. but i do have a discussion of why the people today have labled autistic (or at least asperger's) back to newtons day? but maybe it is just because he was smart, and could not deal with things from heart. and logic binds the narrow way, for all of us could never stay. but i do believe it is a tragedy, that we are still using mercury. to cure and prevent the common illness, while attaching along with mental defects. but it is not just the defects that are in my mind. it seems to be the pros to see, i am not bound by reality.

I have one a little closer to home....my nephew was given this in a shot he received but it was caught before he was given any more. He was still an infant....but thank goodness he did not become autistic.

This makes me sick (not the poem, but the cover-up. A friend who is a doctor specializing in disorders of the nervous system has been doing years of research on autiism and has reached much the same conclusion. He is having luck on detoxification on these youngsters (the younger they are, the better they respond) and many are able to hold their own in regular classrooms now. Such a heartbreaking thing and your poems points it out so well. Raynette
