Autism "treatments" are different: they are not being chosen and administered by the patient themselves. The ethics of doing something to someone else is vastly different than the ethics of doing something to yourself. I would argue that the negative results do exactly what the blogger would like them to do: preventing other people from wasting their time on useless or possibly-harmful things. More than that, they do it while involving patients in the process, making it more likely that even the kooky patients will listen. Actually, I think it would be great to see some data on the reliability of double-blind clinical trials and self-reports. Clinical trials certainly have their own problems.
