POPSThinking cap unlocks hidden genius Australian scientist Allan Snyder says that "switching off" parts of the brain can unlock the hidden genius in all of us. This is achieved by stimulating parts of the brain with tiny magnetic pulses, induced by a hairnet-like cap.

POPSWhen Barack's Berserkers Lost The Plot
'I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion,' she said as she deftly detached journalists from their readers and viewers. 'I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country.' In Britain, the most snobbish attacks on Margaret Thatcher did not come from aristocrats but from the communist historian Eric Hobsbawm, who opined that Thatcherism was the 'anarchism of the lower middle classes'. George Osborne, of the supposedly compassionate Conservative party, revealed himself to be a playground bully when he derided Gordon Brown for being 'faintly autistic'. In an age when politics is choreographed, voters watch out for the moments when the public-relations facade breaks down and venom pours through the cracks. Their judgment is rarely favourable when it does. Obama knows it. He was warning American liberals to stay away from the Palin family. He understands better than his supporters that it is not a politician's enemies who lose elections, but his friends.

POPSHuman-frog hybrids reveal autism's secrets To see if abnormalities in neurotransmitter signalling also underlie autism, Miledi's team collected brain samples from six deceased autistic patients, aged eight to 39. They fused brain-cell membranes, which house neurotransmitter receptors, together with Xenopus egg membranes. As a control, they did the same thing with brain cells from patients with no history of mental disorder. Miledi's team then doused the frog eggs in neurotransmitter chemicals, and measured the voltage generated within each egg. The neurotransmitter chemicals tell brain cells to pump charged molecules in and out the membrane, creating a voltage across the membrane. Since Xenopus eggs do not respond to the neurotransmitters, the human proteins are completely responsible for any electric current generated. Four of six autistic brains responded to neurotransmitters chemicals less vigorously than the controls.

POPSShe's Not Livin' It First off, if you are so hearing impaired that you cannot hear what is coming out of the drive-through speaker, then you shouldn't be driving. Secondly, if your autistic kids are too much of a hassle to take into a restaurant, then they are too much of a hassle to drive around, right? Just wondering.

POPSAutistic boy banned from church Mk 5:1 (GW) They arrived in the territory of the Gerasenes on the other side of the Sea of Galilee. 2 As Jesus stepped out of the boat, a man came out of the tombs and met him. The man was controlled by an evil spirit 3 and lived among the tombs. No one could restrain him any longer, not even with a chain. 4 He had often been chained hand and foot. However, he snapped the chains off his hands and broke the chains from his feet. No one could control him. Mark 5:1-4 (GW) Mk 5:15 (GW) They came to Jesus and saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons. The man was sitting there dressed and in his right mind. A church that one time practiced exorcism now can not deal with an autistic boy. When the church house looses its power to save those afflicted then it has become worthless only to be turned into a social club. Only the best dressed and socially acceptable may enter.

POPSDifficult Situation, But I Agree With American Airlines
I definitely feel for the mother in this situation. Having an autistic child is definitely challenging. And it's not her or the child's fault necessarily that a "fit" can occur. However, I believe AA did the right thing in this case. If a child - whether they have autism or not - can not be controlled and follow the rules on a plane, even if they have a disability that is causing it, they should not be allowed on the plane. Rules are there for a reason. It's the same when parents bring small infants on a plane and the infant literally cries and goes into a fit the entire flight. While I feel for the parents in that situation, there are several hundred other people on the plane that their child is impacting. It's selfish to tell everyone else they just need to deal with it because it's a child or the person has a disability. If an individual can't follow the rules and keep the environment comfortable for everyone on the plane, they should plan alternate transportation.

POPS there is a relationship (genetic or otherwise) between autism and genius "for success in science or art, a dash of autism is essential. The essential ingredient may be an ability to turn away from the everyday world, from the simply practical and to rethink a subject with originality so as to create in new untrodden ways with all abilities canalised into the one specialty." According to psychologist and autism specialist Dr Tony Attwood, from Griffith University

POPSAutism linked to MMR Vaccine Doing a DNA Allergy Reprogramming clearing for the effects of the various vaccinations we received from infancy is far more than just a preventative measure. Think about it, in some cases moments after we are born a barrage of vaccinations begins. If you attacked any other organ in a babies body like this how do you suppose it would respond? This continues intermittently throughout infancy into puberty - the formative years for our immune system too. Funny that it didn’t stop most of us from getting measles, mumps, chicken pocks in fact we’re encouraged to do so. It was a bit alarming when we were told that these mandated vaccinations contained some pretty toxic stuff.

POPSAntibodies in Children with Autism = Allergy!
Hi, I'm Dr. Ted Edwards - "The Allergy Expert". I'm attempting to get a message through to anyone who HAS or KNOWS an Autistic child. The message is I have discovered a solution for Autism. It's called DNA Allergy Reprogramming and it has had a truly profound effect on the lives of the Autistic Children I've worked with. My goal here is to reach and help more of these children have the opportunity to lead a much more normal life. Do you know someone with autism? You owe it to them to find out if DNA Allergy Reprogramming can change them to.. This clip reveals that children with autism react to heat shock proteins and gliadin (gluten-wheat) by producing antibodies. In plain English that means they have an ALLERGY to both of these substances. I have listed the exact clearing you would do for your child in the comfort and convenience of your own home. I truly wish it was easier for me to convince you that I'm telling you the truth. So I say to you "Get Results or Get a

POPSAutism: A Unique type of Mercury Poisoning Children with Autism tend react to Mercury. Their bodies see this, and many other substances as an allergen. This provokes an allergic response which we know known precedes an immune response. Eliminating an allergy to Mercury is simple and parents of autistic children can be taught how to do this procedure in the comfort and privacy of their own homes. Please don't dismiss this. DNA Allergy Reprogramming has already made incredible changes in autistic children. I feel I have a duty and a responsibility to share this with you as this is not talk - this is a solution!
