Fraudulent science. Most MDs aren't even aware but it's also the least "inquisitive" profession... so... families and children suffer. The statistics used to be 1 in 80 kids developed autism. Then it was 1 in 60. Now, it's estimated to be 1 in 45. An MIT professor did some simple math and suggested that by 2025 half of all kids would be dealing with autism. http://reset.me/story/mit-scientist-uncovers-link-between-glyphosate-gmos-and-the-autism-epidemic/
Imagine how that changes the needs (and funding) for health and educational services and other public programs. And imagine what that means for the future of this country when more and more adults are not fully-functioning.
I'm so sorry you were accused by your doctors - that infuriates me. I've had my own experiences with that (unrelated to autism but when many of these MDs don't know something, then it's not their problem). It's a joke.
That's a great letter - my MD suggested I should start treatment for a mitochondrial disorder so that might happen in a few wks.
