Autism is trendy? I had no idea my son was a part of a trend.
Here we go again. LOL.
Sure doesn’t feel “trendy”.
By Golly, I did not realize that the five psychologists, four psychiatrists, four neurologists, seven IEPs, school officials and numerous other pediatricians, colleagues, lost work time and over three hundred thousand in medical costs had placed my eight year old in a trendy click, absolutely wow!
My son was diagnosed with juvenile epilepsy by two different neurologists before being diagnosed with autism.
There is a doctor living in our house and yet we are stumped as to the root cause of Autism.
We have our opinions but nothing we can prove.
All I know at this time is that I love my son and it breaks my heart that some choose to look upon him as something less than a human child.
Some of the people who posts on these threads are absolutely either trolls from the Daily KOs, Ignorant or just plain mean spirited.
Autism in my estimation is the Polio of the 1950’s.
“Autism is trendy? I had no idea my son was a part of a trend.”
Isn’t it incredible how many autism “experts” come to these threads.
I caught the article earlier because of its wheat-free angle. I don’t know if the boy actually has celiac disease, but on celiac lists I’ve heard more than once of going gluten free helping children with autism (the children still have autism, but improved). In adults, celiac is sometimes misdiagnosed as MS (along with a host of other things).
I too have a 18 year old son with autism along with some other problems, and it certainly is not Trendy. He has been a blessing to my wife and I along with the many other people who know him.
