Mr. Handley, Jr., a loving father of a son, who’s experienced an “autism” like syndrome with his son went out to understand that particular consequences of misfortune in a family by reading directly & deeply into experts’ scientific research works & findings.

Me. Handley is a layperson, though educated, endeavored in incredibly hard works, which is not easy even for actual scientists in the fields, but succeeded in accumulating in remarkable, nay, ‘admirable’ information for the public to see.

He relied upon only in his ‘dogged’ trust in scientific literatures for information. I am a trained biomedical worker, but Mr. Handley impresses me as a worker even superior than real workers of my own ‘familiar’ research colleagues, not to denigrate my colleagues, but the ‘familiarity’ gives me perhaps wrongly to treat them a bit lightly as I am to compare to how greatly impressed I am by a lay scientist, Mr. Handley, for what hard work he did, & what he brought out for all of us in the world.

He exemplifies as any of us can be like nearly as an expert in the field, if only could put similar efforts as he put in the beginning for his own son and then for others similarly affected. I cannot emphasize more how hard he worked and accomplished this splendid work! He did this by following the experts in the field only with a concentrated purpose for a certain proof-positive answer for yet an unknown/unaccepted phenomenon.

I think he succeeded for the public to see the necessary scientific sources in one place by saving all those tremendous time & efforts for others, since he did the the work of putting information together. It’s for others easy to read & understand without much work! Remarkable achievements! Praises & appreciations unbound! I call you a ‘public scientist,’ not needing a Ph D or MD degree!
