Kathleen Seidel writes a blog called Neurodiversity on autism issues, and in particular opposing the scientifically-discredited idea that preservatives in vaccines have caused the recent increase in diagnosed cases of autism. She uses freely-available information sources to document the scientific case against the vaccine theory.

But no one ever listens.
