New Definition of Autism Will Exclude Many, Study Suggests:

(Benedict Carey) Proposed changes in the definition of autism would sharply reduce the skyrocketing rate at which the disorder is diagnosed and might make it harder for many people who would no longer meet the criteria to get health, educational and social services, a new analysis suggests.

The definition is now being reassessed by an expert panel appointed by the American Psychiatric Association, which is completing work on the fifth edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the first major revision in 17 years. The D.S.M., as the manual is known, is the standard reference for mental disorders, driving research, treatment and insurance decisions. Most experts expect that the new manual will narrow the criteria for autism; the question is how sharply.

My Commentary: New Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) proposals for 2013 are quickly coming upon us!

Out: Aspergers Syndrome
In: Autistic Spectrum Disorder

I blogged my opinion on this particular issue back in November, 2009:

Study Proves 95% of People Really Are Sheeple:

(NaturalNews) Scientists at the University of Leeds have conducted research that proves the tendency many have to act like sheep, unwittingly following crowd as if they didn’t possess a reasoning mind. While this tendency may have its uses in some situations, such as planning pedestrian flow in busy areas, it doesn’t inspire a ton of hope for humankind.

The study showed that it takes a minority of just five percent to influence a crowd’s direction – and that the other 95 percent follow without even realizing what is going on.

My Commentary: Wow! The numbers in this study are VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL to my own calculations! Frightening!

End Piracy, Not Liberty – Google’s Petition to Congress:

My Commentary: Above is the link to Google’s petition to Congress to kill the SOPA bill. It’s a good effort, though, personally, I believe that the most effective way to stop internet piracy is to only punish those who seek to profit from it. To legislate against the free-share community is to criminalize human culture, itself! Already, I have to “hack” my way around all kinds of worthless copyright “protections” just to make a completely LEGAL back-up copies of my own movies and music! This is all just more pathetic pre-crime against the populace by our self-important BEAST bureaucracy of a government!

"Imagine a world without free knowledge: For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia. Learn more. Contact your representatives."

My Commentary: For the next 24 hours, Wikipedia has kindly decided to give us a bitter little taste of things to come! Just say NO to censorship! Kill the SOPA bill!
