Toni Braxton’s kid doesn’t seem very autistic to me and many others who live with real autism. c’mon now. Let’s keep it REAl
What is in the air we’re breathing to make this disorder so common?
I just saw a video on YOU TUBE titled: “autism spectrum seems out of control” Watch it. It’s good. Another thing: Kids are being diagnosed with aspergers and autism after 15 minute doctor visits. Docs aren’t even asking historical background or running genetic tests or blood tests , allergy tests, urine tests, cat scans, etc…to check out if something else is going on….lots of kids, teens and adults who are lableed autistic, aren’t really autistic. Autism is very serious. Yet, we find people who are mentally ill posing as autistic persons, as in Donna Williams, and Ari Ne’emen, the Obama appointed non autistic person who thinks he’s autistic. Man, this whole autism thing is so blown up right now. It’s all over the place and there is mass confusion because there is so many people claiming this diagnosis when they aren’t really autistic and then we have doctors diagnosing that don’t know what the heck they are doing. And please, the schools? Audits show some schools overdiagnose kids with autism so they can get more funding. Wow. People, you better educate yourselves. Holly Robinson Pete, bless you. You are a great mom
Why is Jenny McCarthy talking about autism and mostly autism, when her child’s primary diagnosis was and is, epilepsy? Why isn’t she talking about epilepsy? Or epilepsy and autism? It seems she’s hyperfocused on autism, but we can’t forget there are many kids with epilepsy disorders like Landau Klaffner, who are misdiagnosed with autism….as in jenny’s kid, Evan…it’s not hard to “heal autism” when your child wasn’t autistic to begin with folks….let’s just keep it real.
Good questions, Alexandra. This is nearly the same what I was asking myself.
Your post regarding autism intervention sound interesting,but i think i need to search for more resources about this .
