"The patient died because we didn't use enough leeches."

Is that how that line goes?

My question is what the fuck is even in Iowa that makes them so important?

My reaction to the bleach enemas being sold as autism cures:

Well, given the stuff that Scientology promotes, Jim Humble's idiocy sounds like it fits right in.

I think some of the problem with how our culture deals with autistic people is how it medicalizes everything and have been doing so since the 19th century (when medicalization was used to harm people with physical deformities under the pretext of protecting them).

Thanks. :)

Just to clarify: the quote itself isn't from there, it's from her book Thinking in Pictures, but the concept's the same.
