A Recent Study Finds a Correlation Between Atheism and Autism
This study does not assert that a majority of atheists are high function autistic, rather that high functioning autistic people are more likely to be atheist. It’s also important to note that this is a correlation which, as we all know, does not imply causation. People with ‘mild’ forms of autism are more likely to be atheists, according to a controversial new study – and more likely to shun organised religion in general. The study, which looked at posts on autism...
Read MoreChiropractic as seen by this Skeptic
I’m fairly skeptical, but I wasn’t always. I’ve been to chiropractors before. Two of them, in my lifetime. I never paid for it.

I began taking them due to very bad periods and a severe lack of regulation. I have tried almost every type on the market but have never had a lapse in taking something. I’m a big fan of the four periods every year, personally. Mainly because they can be that bad. (And bad just...
Read MoreAnxiety and Depression: Not just Mental
Yeah, sure. Anxiety and depression affect one emotionally and mentally but it surely doesn’t end there. I have had stomach digestion issues and minor (usually) headaches for as long as I can remember, even as far back as those days when parents assured children they didn’t get headaches. Being that my stomach is a much more pressing issue, I went to a GI specialist over a year ago. I have undergone an endoscopy, ultrasound, and other scans only to show that there is nothing...
