For instance, Schizophrenia was not regarded as a violent condition until people who had it started taking psychotropic medication. More recently, these drugs are now being used to treat autistic people with FDA approval of Risperdal for autism in 2006 to name such an example, and now we're seeing autistic individuals associated with all sorts of violence the way schizophrenics have been. It's already been shown that these drugs cause brain shrinkage over a long period of time. Studies should be conducted on the subsequent behavior comparing autistic children on these drugs, to autistic people not on these drugs, and to NTs on these drugs and NTs not on these drugs. It may resolve some unanswered questions.Jake Crosbyhttp://www.ageofautism.com/jake-crosbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353442983052145851.post-91620587894929086282009-05-20T20:44:09.761-07:002009-05-20T20:44:09.761-07:00Neuroinsanity tries to misrepresent crime studies ...Neuroinsanity tries to misrepresent crime studies because they are all criminals themselves. <br />Would anyone call Amanda Baggs' advances to Laura Tisoncik untoward?
