I am glad to hear your parents shared my same beliefs, supporting & appreciating you, for YOU. Hearing your perspective, that just furthers my feelings that I am doing the right thing. THANK YOU!<BR/><BR/>timelord,<BR/>Great points you bring up, I agree completely.

She's gett...Jenny McCarthy needs to be discredited. She's getting nearly as bad as John Best Junior (and that's saying something) and the worst part about it is she has some clout when it comes to getting air time. Then she plays the sensation card and the media follow on like puppies looking for a reward for behaving!<BR/><BR/>That's what this is all about - sensationalism. Idiots looking to make a statement and maybe pick up a few extra dollars in the process no matter what. And not giving a stuff that they are HURTING children on the Spectrum, and side swiping adults on the Spectrum as well. They don't care (the super bully in that respect is Best, but McCarthy's the one with clout unfortunately because she's got the friends to make it happen).<BR/><BR/>This is the point - THEY DON'T CARE. They think they do, but that feeling is false because what they believe is also false. We know what they say about living a lie, don't we?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596809.post-10179357984284224842008-03-26T16:32:00.000-07:002008-03-26T16:32:00.000-07:00I speak as an autistic.

It's a sad state of affairs when parents feel the need to search for pseudoscientific snake oil 'cures' when they should be at home taking care of their kids. I'm glad my mom and dad appreciated me for who I am instead of what they expected me to be. It's a shame some parents view their perfectly healthy autistic children as 'damaged goods' just because they aren't like every other average joe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596809.post-70141007525894999892008-03-25T23:41:00.000-07:002008-03-25T23:41:00.000-07:00Thanks Joe. Well said, perfect in fact. I wonder ...Thanks Joe. Well said, perfect in fact. I wonder if we'll ever find the answers to those questions.<BR/><BR/>It's a sad state that we are in. I can't imagine that parents (regardless of if one is anti-vaccine, blames mercury, wants to do biomed, etc.) are not worried about their child's future. We like to follow the "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" mindset. Even if I felt I was "curing" my child or they were in "recovery," I don't know how I'd be able to overlook her needs and what the future might hold for her.<BR/><BR/>And <I>they</I> think we're the crazy ones?S.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07862458535714883672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33596809.post-32220989398522262292008-03-25T06:30:00.000-07:002008-03-25T06:30:00.000-07:00Thanks for the link.Education, vocational, housing...Thanks for the link.<BR/><BR/>Education, vocational, housing, and medical support? Why does such common sense take a back seat to the notion of "cure"?<BR/><BR/>How many decades will be wasted in the pursuit of the holy grail of curing that which is incurable?<BR/><BR/>JoeClub 166https://www.blogger.com/profile/01816977079856902634noreply@blogger.com
