Curt Linderman's comments cited by Wired magazine referenced his thoughts and weren't made with the endorsement of Autism One or The Autism File magazine.

Autism One repudiates Wired magazine's insinuation (via Amy Wallace) that Autism One is any less emphatic about the culpability of vaccines as the major causal factor of the autism epidemic.

Just uploading some other stories if they fit in the blogging categories. Most will have already been posted on Age of Autism (LOVE that site!)

The Others: Siblings and Autism

I love being able to contribute stories about our journey on Age of Autism. I don't always find time to write, but when I do, it is wonderful to be able to share my thoughts. This is my latest and went up today.

Thanks!

Past Perfect, Future Tense.

From Teresa Forcades, MD, September 23, 2009 live presentation, Monasterio de Sant Benet Montserrat, Barcelona, Spain.

A bombshell was dropped from the top of my beloved Pyrenees mountains in Catalunya by Teresa Forcades, a Benedictine nun from Montserrat (meaning jagged mountain in Catalan) and medical internist doctor about the origins of the current seasonal Influenza and H1N1 (Influenza Type A) vaccines which are going to be injected soon to millions of people worldwide in a rather forceful manner.

I'm thinking back to a moment around five years ago, when a self-styled "developmental pediatrician" told us that the Little Rankster was definitely autistic, and we needed to do three things: 1) get him on Ritalin; 2) get him in a special school; and 3) start looking into a residential placement he would probably need in a few years. We did none of those things.

We chose, instead, to use "unproven" biomedical treatments, which we mixed in with speech therapy and a little bit (but only a little bit) of traditional behavioral therapies.

How many of you have children whose sensory, immune, metabolic, nutritional, gastrointestinal, toxicity, hormonal, or other physiological issues manifest as behavioral challenges? And of those of you who are both active in advocacy and are researching and exploring all means to safely address these, how do you feel when strangers say that you should be focusing on addressing your child's "naughtiness"?

Numerous studies have shown that increased sugar intake dramatically decreases immune response. Short-term hyperglycemia (i.e., elevated blood sugar) affects all major components of innate immunity and impairs an individual's ability to fight infection.

I'm talking about the doctors that did not give me a choice!! Yeah, I'm bitter that they took my daughter's life away. I'm glad that your so positive about autism and your siuation but I'm not!!
