Darn kn, I wanted to come out for a timely visit.
Scott, how much of this conference is relevant to non-autistic Lyme patients? I've hesitated to go to conferences that have to do with autism because that part of it is irrelevant to me personally.

I think it is all relevant. Lyme is a subset of autism in my experience. They are both about infections and toxins. Many of the presenters will have a lot to say about Lyme.

I found it very interesting that the autism rate is seemingly SIGNIFICANTLY lower in the Amish population.
A Dr. Frank Noonan of Lancaster, PA has stated that he has been treating the Amish for 25 years and he has NEVER seen an autistic child in the Amish community.
If this is true then it would seem to me that the CDC would want to find out as to why the autism rate is so much lower in the Amish population than the general population.
Is it because the Amish parents don't vaccinate their children? Or is because of some other reason?
There is actually been a bill proposed by members of Congress to study the Amish or unvaccinated population, in regards to autism.
It is co-sponsored by Manhattan Congresswoman Carol Maloney and Nebraska Congressman Tom Osborne.
Bellow is a link to the press release by Congress woman Carolyn Maloney where she proposes a bill that would fund a study between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated children and determine the rate of autism in the two different population.
