• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Autism is not a disease. It is a spectrum of many different disorders, that
present on a spectrum of disorders.

Autism is not caused by a single gene, or a fixed gene configuration. Autism
is connected with certain gene configurations, but these configurations do not
guarantee that a child will be on the autism spectrum.

There are different levels of DIAGNOSIS of autism in different socio-economic
groups. But this does not necessarily mean that there are different frequencies of
autism in different socio-economic groups.

Autism is associated with gene configurations,and not later exposure of children
to (for example) vaccines.
