I was reading an article in the daily mail today about an autistic adult and came across this piece of information.
Any comments???
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with autism have trouble with social, emotional and communication skills that usually develop before the age of three and last throughout a person’s life.
Specific signs of autism include:
'Autistic people aren't scary or vicious or aggressive, they can be vulnerable people and are totally entitled to have their part in society and be represented,' she said.
What I find amusing, is that to find out about autism, they went to:
"Center for Disease Control and Prevention"
This was all I could focus on. Couldn't take in the rest after reading that sentence. What on earth does autism have to do with disease control.
The CDC is the leading Public Health Institute in the US. It grew out of its original infectious disease control remit.
They did not. The Mail Online is a digital sweatshop. Low paid grunts turning out as much click bait as possible. They would not take the time to contact the CDC. The CDC ranks high in Google and is quick to cut and paste.
Besides the Mail Online target audience is mid-Atlantic.
Yes but we are in the UK and this happened in London why did they contact an American agency?
