All of you who are using sarcasm, humor, and innuendo to argue or profess points in a purely text-based forum with someone who has self identified with an ASD diagnosis might want to reconsider what you're doing. He asked a question, got some good answers, and just doesn't seem to be getting some of the points regarding empiricism, objectivity, discounting anecdotal evidence and personal experience, etc. as s/he hopefully pursues more trains in research, maybe the points will be driven home. As far as this thread is concerned, I think it's run its course and may be drifting towards a place that it shouldn't go, as it is unlikely to be of further benefit to the OP.
