David Wolman, Wired Magazine's Genuis

I was rummaging through the neuroinsanity blogs today and came across one titled "A Very Good Blog Post". I naturally thought it was about somethimng I had written so I checked it out. It turns out the blogger was referring to David Wolman, the simpleton who had been conned by Amanda Baggs in his Wired Magazine article. This post also referred the reader to another blog post by Wolman in which one PhD demonstrated his ignorance of autism because his kid was actually doing things that Amanda Baggs had been faking. It's a shame when well meaning but naive PhD's are conned by scam artists.

Wolman has a list of his articles that discuss topics such as bugs, grass and Mt Fuji. It doesn't look like there is anything in his background that gives him a clue about what autism is all about. Yet, this 33 year old wizard sees fit to ignore the concerns of people with extensive experience in autism while he helps perpetuate Amanda Baggs' con job on an unsuspecting public.

The fact that Amanda Baggs is not autistic has been brought to the attention of Joanna Pearlstein, an editor for Wired Magazine along with David Wolman. Pearlstein stated that she has no interest in writing about this fact. Wolman has not responded to anyone who voiced this concern, as far as I know.

We can see on Wolman's blog that he does not like experts in the field of autism pointing out the truth about vaccines and autism. He rambles on with some junk about horrible diseases that we all had as kids with no ill effects. This young genius who has, in has vast experience, learned about Mt Fuji, bugs and growing grass must have all of a sudden become an expert on autism by his association with a liar who began her descent into autism by abusing LSD.

So, there you have it. Wired Magazine writes pure BS and refuses to acknowledge anyone who points out their lack of integrity. Amanda Baggs goes merrily on her way, misinforming the public about autism thanks to mental midgets like Pearlstein and Wolman who tacitly agree to the LSD as the cause of autism theory. I wonder if anyone who later determines that a flu shot to a pregnant mother caused their child's autism can sue Wired Magazine for this misinformation? Can their stupidity be held against them in a court of law?

UPDATE: As you might expect, David Wolman has deleted one of my comments from his blog asking about his foolishness of not investigating allegations of Amanda Baggs' fraud. You can hide from the truth Dave, but that won't make it go away.
