Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Pardon my prolific writing spree lately, but now that I have some time to sit down, much has come to mind. I began this year looking for an alternate way to diagnose ASD. Not that I am a physician, but sometimes I get lucky and ideas that I have work out. I could go in to boring details, but though I have had some possible leads, it seems no one has done the in-depth detailed research that would have connected the dots to a new approach. June, July, and August were spent studying the CFR and state regulations relating to special needs children, because I knew an IEP was planned for September. As it turned out, the IEP was cancelled because Evvie's symptoms became significantly worse. Much to my surprise, chelation seems to be dramatically improving her condition. The best I have managed to accomplish in a new approach to diagnosing autism is an interactive test that goes smoething like this. 1. When your daughter draws pictures of herself at school on the playground, is she sitting alone while the other children are playing together. 2. When she draws pictures of adults, do they have angry glares on their faces. 3. As a parent, do you schedule your life around your daughter's moods, being careful to avoid locations that you know will set her off. et cetera. This is where we stand as a society. We have to fight for every inch of gain that our daughters need in treatment, schooling, et al. Sometimes I think we need to worry less about clinical research and more about how our culture has become so incredably callous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
