But I'm no expert. I'm not a doctor, and I don't play a Pet Detective on TV.

There are experts though, doctors and chemists and epidemiologists and all sorts of people who know about this stuff, and they don't base it on what seems wrong to them. The whole "science" thing is behind it. They didn't just make it up out of thin air.

You "seem" like a tool. Iowa tells me the only reason we have more autism is because we can detect it better and pulling that "fact" out of thin air is ok. I say that I don't think it’s accurate and that I don't believe it (and yes I used "Seems Wrong" to express that) and you jump down my throat about forming opinions with no facts. My opinion that I formed was I don't believe everything some random dude on a forum posts. I don’t think Autism is only more prevalent because we have better diagnostics and frankly there will never be a way to prove it either way. Suffice it to say either of us could be wrong. But you saying I'm not allowed to have an opinion because it can’t be scientifically proven either way is asinine.
