[tri-med] Re: The Age of Autism: The Amish anomaly

I do believe the radio program was speaking of
traditional Koori outside of the cities. Thanks for
educating me AND "Jocelyn Knowd" on the people's name.
By the way I have also spent time in the bush in Kenya
in the Peace Corps. I was stationed close to a nurse
who was also a nun that ran a mobile clinic. Her bias
and your replies makes me wonder, what you might term
the decay of a people who've been denuded of their way
of life, their wealth, their reality?
