Guest guest Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Jackie... I have to agree with you. While I appreciate the exposure that she is giving to autism, and don't mean to sound ungrateful....I was a bit taken aback by how she keeps saying how everyone can afford treatments and therapy. I don't know what world she is living in.....and of course SHE can afford it....but on more than one show she indicates that there are plenty of organizations to help fund this. I am happy that her son is doing so well. My son was doing excellent at that time in his life too. However, now at eleven he is having difficulties and there are clearly still plenty of issues to deal with. I consider myself fortunate, my son is very high functioning and continuing to make progress. But I do not consider him recovered. He is a beautiful work in progress and a blessing to me every day. I have enjoyed Jennie on television talking about autism and appreciate the awareness. I also appreciate that she is bringing awareness of biomedical interventions. But she herself keeps saying that one size does not fit all....but then seems to be telling us that if we too did what she did our children would be recovered. I do look forward to reading her book. Is any of the profits going to an organization or just to her? Just curious, as I do not remember it being mentioned. I appreciate her efforts to raise awareness.........but she needs to understand that there is just not funds out there readily available to us for our kids. KK Re: Re: Where is Barbara Walters Medical Degree? I can't agree with you. I am the the " bad people like Barbara or parents that supposly have no faith and do things like sorry, but I will not allow this woman to come and tell me my 3 children wil be recover by following what she saids. " Well I tried the diet with my 3 son's So how about going back to one size don't fits all? I believe that my children have an illnes call autism, but noone is going to come and TELL ME they have the right answer. And make money out of it... She seems emotional but not open to other things not to mentionn her son is very young to say " he is recover " Let's do this 10 years later, I mean Is not that I don't like her, is more like when it comes to autism, you have to be careful in what your preach cause my 3 autistic son's talk just as much and behave just like hers son, And I do not fell they are recover i don't know, I wonder why she believes this,Has she done chelation like many of us or metal detox perhaps? --- blessingsx10@... wrote: > > _http://www.rescuepohttp://www.reshttp://wwwhttp://www.http://www.r_ > > (http://www.rescuepost.com/rescue_post/2007/09/barbara-walters.html) > > > Barbara Walters MD?
