To make wild suppositions about chlorine and autism is, I think, irresponsible. Just as the unfounded vaccine scare resulted in some children not getting vaccinated against real and serious threats, a chlorine scare that results in insufficiently sanitized drinking and bathing water may well cause more people to contract real and serious diseases.
Hi KurtV,

These are hardly "wild suppostions". Our family has seen a complete turnaround in our nephew from severe autism (constant shrill screaming, spinning in circles on the floor under a table, and unwillingness to make eye contact or even acknowledge his mom's presence) to a normal happy, healthy, and social 10 yr. old boy who's IQ score went up over 20 points over the years of treatment.

You really should be more careful about posting on unfamiliar subjects on which you have no personal experience.

You could wind up causing the opposite effect from the one you described...i.e. Discouraging hopeless parents from trying a treatment that has worked for thousands of others, irrespective of medical industry opinion.
