2.  1 in 88 Children With Autism/ASD In Military Families.

Since 1999, all our autism prevalence research has been based on published official statistics from the U.S. Department of Education Annual Reports to Congress. In the last few months, a group of military parents disagreed with the CDC figures and decided to investigate the prevalence of ASD among military dependents. The recently-released FOIA data provides, as a parent put it so well, “a sobering picture”: There are at least 13,243 children and young adults diagnosed with an ASD among active duty military children.

3.  Psycho CBT - Efficacy A Complete Myth.
There is something of an Emperor's New Clothes moment about the revelation at a conference last week that the claim that cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is more effective than other treatments is just a "myth" and we could be wasting millions of pounds (The Herald, July 7). Many researchers will wonder why CBT gained its undeserved status and took so long in being exposed for what it is.
