Aspies For Freedom

I am interested & I think you know this but I can understand that it isn't for everyone.

Any tests are fake-able, & also mistakes can be made in home tests & ones done by a doctor.

Say if an organisation, wants to sell a product, that people are loosing interest in, they do 'studies' & can manipulate the results to make the product appear to be  healthy.

Or an Organisation wishes to sell it's medical services  DITTO.

I the past three years in the UK, laboratories made mistakes which

#1 led many women to believe that they were not pregnant.
#2 led many women to be told that they did not have breast cancer, when in fact they did.
#3  a couple of years before that, many people who were told that they did not have HIV...when they did.

The above involved thousands of people in at least one instance. hundreds in another.

In all of these, the patients were recalled for re testing.
These are the ones that we are told about.

The excuses for these mistakes were :- human error, over work & couldn't be bothered to do the tests..so made up the results.

This isn't very helpful for the victims.

I've just read all of the links  of all the 'badly translated one seems the best.

Personally I am wary of any organisation which purports to help....but which has a wonderful & expensive web page...but that is just my opinion.

I read all of the comments.

I think the problem with these results are that only the autistic children, whose parents take them for tests, are tested.


Not the other autistics who are never tested, my family hasn't been tested for anything..have you?

If tests were routinely done on a worldwide basis for ALL that are diagnosed   on the spectrum, more accurate results could be compiled.

Personally I would place more faith in this, than the results from a number of  people who take these tests in the hope of a cure.

eckolos - I am interested in this topic as I cannot tolerate wheat or milk in my diet and I have a son with a diagnosis of aspergers. Also I am interested in science and research. I am interested in research and getting to the bottom of things to understand the facts better. Reviews of research are good - because a review will look at the facts. The main purpose of The Cochrane Collaboration is a non profit group that  reviews research looking the strongest evidence available about healthcare interventions.

When I eat these foods my eyes itch, my skin itches, my stomach becomes distended - you don't want to hear the rest. Oh - also I become extremely tired.

darn - added to the wrong message - I need an edit button.

Out of curiosity & in the interests of science  I am 'up for it' but I think if it was to have any kind of validity, all participants would need to use the same Lab. ( just my opinion )
Spare money would also be needed to pay for these tests ( I don't have enough at present but..... when & if I have..yes.

I don't understand what you mean.

The cost from the first link for testing would be about £57 + Postage.

The second link was interesting, particularly the comments.

Incidentally I had Pink disease as a child.
