[SPAM?] Re: Shadow syndrome or trying to do the right thing

[Guest guest]

Vera, you may not have scatterings, but I have met a lot of parents

locally and talked to them on the phone. I've seen a lot of parents

who don't make contact, repeat the same stories over and over to

continue a conversation, etc. I myself have many similar traits to

Allie, especially sensory regulation, and i know I was exposed to

mercury as a child, through my mothers Rhogam shots and living on

property ajoining a coal-fired power plant, and now have multiple

mercury fillings. Dr. Geier has said that we know autism has a genetic

aspect, why, because parents have the same genes as the kids but they

don't have autism because they didn't get the mercury burden.

Of course we're trying to do the right thing. I just think the autism

community is much more headstrong than other communities who are also

trying to do the right thing. I've seen lots of people in this region

get cancer that seems to link with the national lab where the

Manhattan Project took place in this town. You don't see the region up

in arms, you see complacency. Granted, we see complacency in some

autism families too, but I see a lot of behaviors among parents that

make me scratch my head. Of course, stress from having to deal with it

all could speak volumes, but the behaviors were there before the dx of

the child in many of them.
