I agree with Dr. Sowell about 90 to 95% of the time. So I get the funny feeling that when we disagree, he’s right and I’m wrong!

Our son was a late talker. I got Sowell’s book from the library hoping against hope that he didn’t have autism, but he definitely does. (PDD-NOS, mid level autism.)

It should be possible for people of average intelligence to diagnose autism. In most cases it is not that tricky. But Dr. Sowell is right about the risk of “false positives.” We are praying for breakthroughs for those working in this field...

You’re correct about Dr. Sowell being right most of the time, only a few times I’ve known him to be wrong and I believe they were oversights on his part due to the fact he writes on so many different subjects.

I’m praying with you for breakthroughs with autism and God bless you all.

I just read your post and thought you might find this thread, Autism Cures? (Thomas Sowell) very interesting. Scroll down to post #9, in particular.
