We previously discussed a study reporting negative results for a
trial of secretin in autism. Here's another. I find this one
particularly interesting because it contrasts mistaken belief
based on anecdote (the parents' subjective and unsystematic
positive assessment) with the negative findings of objective
scientific evaluation (blind rating by judges).
The report is:
