Liz Ditz, who often writes about Learning Disabilities and, therefore, has developed a good nose for bologna, posts entries once in a while about Autism. She has a keeper in After McCarthy: Autism quackery on the rise. There’s a reference to Leelo’s mother and, for those of you who know about Liz’s site already, here’s a link to take the direct jump to “the adventures of leelo and his potty-mouthed mom.”

Wait, am I a purveyor of quackery and bologna? Or do I just walk and sound like a duck? Please clarify.
Squid, for readers new to the plot, is Leelo’s mom. Another Awesome Autism (and Neurotypical) Mom, in other words. And somebody I’m proud to introduce as my friend. And John, I think this is the better autism post from me:

I’m a fan of them both! but I’m a little behind on the blogging due to a double dose of asthma and flu, so I’ll nip along and do some catch up.
Cheers
Thanks for dropping by, Squid. I’m sorry if my post was ambiguous. I liked Liz’s post about quackery and was glad it led me to your posts about parenting Leelo. I don’t see you peddling miracle cures for Autism, so I fear you just won’t be able to qualify as a quacky bologna dispenser (even at the Monterey Aquarium).
Liz, you’re right. The post about your experiences in the psych classes is a good source. Thanks!
