Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I don't mind any discussion on what causes autism or what might help or cure it. But I do want everyone to discuss these things politely and with respect for all others involved. And, Dr Bate, might I suggest you use 'brain impairment' rather than 'brain damage'. The difference may not be much, but it might allow more of us to hear what you're saying without getting defensive. I actually agree with much of what you're saying, but I still get defensive about 'brain damage'. At your age you have the right to be a grumpy old man - and I have some ambitions in that direction myself as I find myself getting older - but there is a price to be paid. If you want people to listen, try to use language they can hear. [moderator]  Kirsten, I've been working in this field for over 30 years.� You have a right to your opinions, and a right to be confused by Big Pharma's lies, but the scientific fact is that Autism is caused by brain damage.� That was mostly� done 30 years ago by physical damage such as a fall, and it occurred in 1 in 10,000 cases of birth.� It was also noticeable at birth or soon after.� Today, in most cases, the child seems to be "normal" until he/she is given the many vaccinations at one time, and all too often the child is a "different" personality from that point on.� That is the substance of the many legal suits brought against the Government and Big Pharma and MD's.� In a very few cases, the child has autism from birth, and if the mother is tested, high toxic levels of mercury and/or aluminum are found in her.� This is not to blame her, as it is not her fault for the huge rise in mercury and aluminum contamination of our world.� However, the curve in the rise of mercury contamination is the same curve as the rise of Autism.� That's not a coincidence.�� From 1 in 10K to 1 in under 100?

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 as far as I'm concerned i have been informed there is no cure for autism there are therapies to help the child cope with the difficulties that come with the disorder, i don't think my child is "damaged" my opinion not trying to offend anyone who reads this. If there where a cure I'm sure it would be available to everyone. My kid is high functioning autistic, adhd and odd. i would like to find a solution to at least one of these since I'm a single mom with very little support but i work hard everyday learning more and teaching my son how to deal with all his emotional needs and social needs.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 It's very easy to say whatever comes to our heads over email. I am very interested in hearing many different view points and therapies. I haven't found anything that is working well for my daughters with aspergers and well for our budget, so I enjoy hearing about Dr. Bate's ideas and everyone elses ideas, but I do hear harshness and insensitivity from many angles.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yes, I noticed that. That was what my initial post was about - using language that will reach people if you want them to understand. I believe Dr Bate's methods would work for at least some kids, which is why I let the messages through. But unless there is a change of tone that won't continue. Unfortunately autism seems somewhat like religion - it leads to a lot of passion but sometimes not much empathy. No matter how right you are about either, if the way you present your message antagonises people, it's better to keep quiet.  > > I don't mind any discussion on what causes autism or what might help or > cure it. But I do want everyone to discuss these things politely and > with respect for all others involved. , anyone who disagrees with certain posters is called "confused", "silly", "vicious", or "in denial," among other things. This language is in no way intended to support or educate but to belittle and silence the respondant. It is offensive to all of us who visit the site and particularly cruel to allow this type of subversive attack on new visitors who are trying to seek answers and support from actual parents.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I can't defend his manner, but if you go to his site you will find only his tapes/cds cost anything. A lot of what he has there for free is stuff others charge a lot for - or at least insist you buy their book. Unfortunately nothing is free when it comes to treating autism. One of the first things I look for when checking up on any treatment plan is the promises it makes. Anyone who promises that they can 'cure' your child in a few weeks is probably lying. My doctor says encouraging things like "you can be much better if you watch your diet", or "you would see a marked improvement if you had at least 30 minutes of exercise a day". But he also said during the first consultation "don't expect any short term miracles". He has even said that I should not misinterpret a short term improvement as a 'cure', that returning the body to normal function will take at least 2 years, and after that I will remain susceptible to a return to autistic symptoms if I don't watch my diet and lifestyle. I admit I would prefer a pill that you take for a week and then you're cured, but I am very sceptical about that pill ever being developed. Medication is good at controlling the symptoms of autism, but not at curing the underlying problem/s. If you look at a lot of the sites suggesting environmental causes, you will find that a lot of what they say is similar. Almost all say to avoid grains, dairy products and sugar. Not an easy thing to do. Almost all indicate that people with autism have a variety of other symptoms that, while they may not cause autism, do interfere with the body functioning properly, so they also need to be treated. Some make wonderful suggestions like moving to an unspoilt country area free from pollution. What they don't say is how you find the money to move, and then support yourself when you discover that jobs are rarer than pollution in many of these areas. Total self-sufficiency does not suit all of us. That's why I don't rely on any one site. I trust more those who actually cite the research on which their method is based. I am not prepared to accept "it worked for me, it must work for you" as a basis on which to proceed. I want some idea of how it works, and why it should work. I am probably more lenient than I should be on letting some people post, but my philosophy is that the more options people know about, the more likely they are to find something that will work for them or their child. But I also know that a negative reaction to how someone presents something can carry over to a refusal to try the method. I resisted diet as a way of coping for years because my mother has been convinced for decades that every disease or condition can be cured by avoiding certain foods. Despite all her various diets - all guaranteed to work - she has not become any healthier. I suspect it is partly because she never follows the diet, but always has to make it stricter because of some new theory she has read, or she goes to extremes like when she was advised to have a glass of soy milk in the morning because it would help with something she was suffering from, and so when she started to feel better she decided to have 6 glasses a day, and then she became intolerant to it. I have said very little about the diet I am on, but she still offers advice about what I need to avoid, or what I should make sure I get plenty of. My aim is to correct my various deficiencies - all confirmed by tests - and then to live on as natural a diet as possible, avoiding any food that causes me problems. Whether it will 'cure' may autism or ADD I don't know. If I am healthy and my symptoms are manageable, I will be happy with that. With both myself and my son, my aim is that we can do the things we want to do, whether or not we are 'normal' compared to others.  My biggest issue with Dr. Bates, is that his replies always coincide with "Here, check out this link, where you can spend $200 on a miracle cure". I don't discount that what he says might work on some kids. I do object to being targeted because we have special needs children. A lot of people out there are willing to pull out their wallet any time they think something is going to cure everything, and the fact of the matter is, no 2 children are the exact same. What works for 1, won't work for another. I'm sure there are more than a few people who have bought Dr. Bates program, and found it didn't work, while there may be more than a few who found it to be the answer to their problems. If he felt the need to contribute, I know it would go a thousand times further if it was done in a non-infomercial style, with genuine answers, and not just a spiel aimed at getting people to his page. Interacting with people, asking questions, answering questions, etc. Instead, he simply replies to specific topics with, "Check out my page, I can cure your child" > > > ** > > > > > > Kirsten, > > > > I've been working in this field for over 30 years.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 We suspected something was wrong with our son before he was born, but it took until he was almost 6 before we could find a professional who would even begin looking at why. I am sceptical of claims to cure autism when, at the moment, we don't know what causes it, and we don't even agree on what it is. The great increase in autism recently suggests it isn't solely genetic, but must have some environmental input. I am finding a grain free, dairy free diet is helping me, but my son seems to be helped by medication. I lean toward the idea that too highly processed food plays a big part in most of today's diseases. I am sure all the contaminants in air, water and soil also don't help. But perhaps, like with some other conditions, there has to be a genetic susceptibility there before autism develops. After all, not everyone develops autism, but we are all exposed to much the same conditions.  OMG!  Seriously? My son didn't have a fall or brain damage as you say.... He came out autistic and didn't all in a sudden CHANGE from vaccines!  I was telling our Ped that I thought he was autistic at 7wks of age (Yes, you read that correctly).  See my son is a twin and his sister wasn't obsessed with bright lights, would turn to our voices and didn't stair for hours at her mobile.  She also didn't try from AM to PM!  WOW is all I can say...

Autism is NOT a simple behavior dysfunction. It is a physical damage to the brain function, and it isn't "cute". It can be "cured" in spite of the current idea that it can't, but the mercury and other toxins causing the brain to operate poorly MUST be removed in order for that to be accomplished. That's why my 4 part therapy for autism stresses that as the first, and most important therapy. The second most important is my Neuroliminal Training which solves the ADD/ADHD portion of the confused mind. The remaining two therapies solve the nutrition and digestive problems (in particular Leaky Gut Syndrome) caused by the stress and lack of sufficient nutrition during this time. (Autistic kids are all "picky" eaters in my experience).

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I just re-read what the "Dr" said...and, my son is NOT a picky eater. My NT daughter is...And, I am confident that my son was autistic from birth.I didn't show any mercury or lead or any other chemicals in my blood and neither did my son...We tried the GFCFSF diets, supplements, B12 shots, etc, etc and stopped short of chelation because none of the "alternative" approaches worked. We even tried homeopathy. We have continued with what has worked - ABA therapy and medications (abilify and Risperdone). Can't blame a person for continuing what works for their kiddo and stopping what didn't!?! Can you?LoriPlease BOYCOTT the movie 21 Jump Street!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I think we should just let Dr. Bate post what he feels he needs too. After all, that's what everyone else does. I don't agree with a lot of people on this list - but I don't feel I should complain about them. If I start reading and realize it's something I'm not interested in or that I don't agree with - I delete the post. Dr. Bate is giving his opinion on how the child gets autism, the same way some people are adamant about how their child's autism was caused by vaccines. I don't believe in the vaccine theory but I don't slam every person who says they believe that. I don't give my kid drugs to help his autism so usually don't read the posts associated with that topic - but I don't slam the people who use drugs or write the posts about drugs. Come on people! Stop bashing Dr. Bate. This is an open forum for people to post what they believe about autism. There are many good, useful posts on here. Let's give Dr. Bate a break. If you don't like what he's writing, delete the post and move on to the next one! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have found in the past that people who push their view over others always seem to use the descriptive; “scientific facts.†And I just want to point out something many may not realize. In this country and no doubt many others; it is NOT against the law to lie! There are tons and tons of so called research to be found from countless resources in the field of nutrition, medicine, and just about any other area where all sorts of claims are made in order to sell products. One just has to take a look at the “male enhancement†field, and the products on the market they say “scientific evidence†proves will help, to see my point. And how about baldness? There are so many false claims in the field of medicine, vitamins, and nutrition, the list could reach for miles. It is not against the law to lie! Check it out. So I tend to just NOT believe any of it. Well IF there has been actual scientific research done, and the article reported in a national scientific journal that polices that sort of thing, then maybe I will believe it up to a point. But will still wait for further research to be done, since facts are always in a state of evolution. You see scientific evidence is built over time, lots and lots of time with people doing research who know how to do that. Go to any university and check it out.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Yes, sort of. It would show there is a non-normal functioning brain. There do seem to be common patterns for kids with AS, but from memory it is about 80% match between brain scans and a formal diagnosis. So none of the current methods for diagnosing AS can claim to be 100% accurate. Considering we still do not know for sure whether everything put into the Autism spectrum is actually one disorder with just one, or even just one cluster, of causes, that shouldn't surprise anyone. I am not sure that scans can discriminate between AS and ADHD. But, again, quite a few experts claim they are really different sides of the same condition. I think what can be said without question is that the brain of someone with AS operates differently to the neurotypical brain, and that is manifested as impairment in some areas of life as an impairment. Cause and effect is notoriously difficult to distinguish from co-occurrence. So as a way of showing abnormal activity it is accurate, but I am not so sure it can prove 'damage'. Even if it mimics real damage, it doesn't prove that there is damage. That would require actually looking at the brain. But remember I am a social scientist, not a 'real' scientist, so could be wrong.  Would this 'brain damage' show up on a CT Scan or MRI? If so, would a normal CT scan or MRI indicate that my daughter doesn't have AS?      Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you; Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.

In this country and no doubt many others; it is NOT against the law to lie!  There are tons and tons of so called research to be found from countless resources in the field of nutrition, medicine, and just about any other area where all sorts of claims are made in order to sell products.  One just has to take a look at the “male enhancement†field, and the products on the market they say “scientific evidence†proves will help, to see my point. And how about baldness? There are so many false claims in the field of medicine, vitamins, and nutrition, the list could reach for miles.  It is not against the law to lie! Check it out.  So I tend to just NOT believe any of it. Well IF there has been actual scientific research done, and the article reported in a national scientific journal that polices that sort of thing, then maybe I will believe it up to a point. But will still wait for further research to be done, since facts are always in a state of evolution.  You see scientific evidence is built over time, lots and lots of time with people doing research who know how to do that. Go to any university and check it out.  Carolyn   From: holistichausfrau Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2012 3:17 AM To: autism-aspergers Subject: Re: All parents with ADD-Autism kids   Dr. Bate, I agree with the people who say you should continue to be allowed to post here.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I completely agree! Let him say what he thinks. He may be right in some cases and wrong in others. , in this group said she just deletes things she doesn't like. I do the same thing. To: autism-aspergers Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2012 9:56 AMSubject: RE: Re: All parents with ADD-Autism kids I think we should just let Dr. Bate post what he feels he needs too. After all, that's what everyone else does. I don't agree with a lot of people on this list - but I don't feel I should complain about them. If I start reading and realize it's something I'm not interested in or that I don't agree with - I delete the post. Dr. Bate is giving his opinion on how the child gets autism, the same way some people are adamant about how their child's autism was caused by vaccines. I don't believe in the vaccine theory but I don't slam every person who says they believe that. I don't give my kid drugs to help his autism so usually don't read the posts associated with that topic - but I don't slam the people who use drugs or write the posts about drugs. Come on people! Stop bashing Dr. Bate. This is an open forum for people to post what they believe about autism. There are many good, useful posts on here. Let's give Dr. Bate a break. If you don't like what he's writing, delete the post and move on to the next one! Thanks! Estevan,SK Canada -- Re: All parents with ADD-Autism kids I for one, am glad that Dr Bate posts here and I hope that he continues to be allowed to do so. I don't understand why he gets so consistantly slammed here.There are quite a number of opinionated, harsh people who post to this group. I don't like what they have to say or their tone, so I just skip it and move on. I don't see them getting lambasted the way Dr Bate does. I appreciated that he is offering an approach that is accessible, inexpensive and in line with many of the biomedical theories. As for what he is selling on his site, it is minimal compared to the expense of seeing a DAN! doctor and following a typical protocol. I hope to afford his CD's at some point and don't see a risk since he offers a satisfaction guarantee. Anyway, that's beside the point. I just wanted to make it known that the dramatic critics on this list don't represent everyone. Dr Bate, please continue to post. , please let him.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I watched a show called Ingenious Minds on the Sci Fi channel. They showed a study where they did a brain scan on a NT person and the person with ASD where they would ask a question such as "What color is a banana?" I found it fascinating how while they both produced the same answer, the brain of the ASD person took a surprisingly different path to get the same answer. Sparks were flying all over the place going from A to D to T to X whereas the NT brain went from A to B. I never understood it quite that way before I had seen that show. Temple Grandin did an episode for this show and allowed the Mayo Clinic to study her brain. Amazing series!!

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 This has always been a place to gain information as well as support. If you look at the description on our home page it says it was created "to share stories, ideas, treatments, therapies, advice and support". There are often discussions of various treatments, and whether they have worked for others. Informing people of products and services is allowed, but it is expected that it will not be excessive. How we define 'excessive' is still being worked out. My suggestion is that anyone with any service or product lists it in our files section under "Professional Services", and then refer people there. That allows people to go and look if they want to, or they can choose not to. There are a couple of services listed there, but any professionals who are members are welcome to add their details. Links to websites can be added under "Links".  I check about once a month to make sure we don't have anything inappropriate there, and if anyone finds something I would like to know. We do have links to a lot of useful sites. We tend to go through cycles. We will have a run of emails arguing over whether immunisations do or do not cause austim, then the conversation moves to some form of therapy, then there will be a discussion of weighted blankets during which one or two people will let us know they make and sell them, etc. I tend to allow any post that is offering a service or product if it comes as a result of a question or a discussion. Anyone who joins and just posts about their product and never joins in the discussion will not be allowed to post. I especially want to avoid people who join and then simply have a post sent every Monday morning advertising their product. Anyone who even looks like they might do that remains moderated. I don't see any difference between Dr Bate and those who advertise a camp or a play group or any other service that involves money. One of the realities of autism is that it involves spending a lot of money. I realise that a camp run in LA, or a seminar in Atlanta, is probably irrelevant to 98% of people here, but if it helps 1%, then I think it is worthwhile posting it. You will also find posts asking for volunteers to take part in research. Considering how little is known about autism, every bit of research is helpful.  There are a few emails each week offering all sorts of wonderful services that have nothing to do with autism that don't get through, and some members are no longer able to post because they insist on doing that after being asked to stop. The current posts from Dr Bate are in response to a discussion on what he offers and whether he is advertising too much. He is on moderation permanently, not only because he can be a bit blunt and I can edit out a sentence or two that most people will find offensive while allowing him to post what is otherwise worthwhile information, but because all individuals and groups who offer a service or product are on permanent moderation. That way I can decide how often the posts go through.  He is not the only individual on moderation because they tend to say things with good intentions that don't always come across that way. Some have asked me not to take them off moderation because they know they can reply in haste and then regret what they say almost as soon as they send the email. We all tend to have things we feel passionately about, and that sometimes leads to heated debates. As long as there is respect for other people, anything connected with autism is an acceptable topic for discussion. Learning to use your email so that certain topics or posters go straight to 'trash' is a useful skill for anyone who wants to take part in an email group. Unlike real life, ignoring people and topics is perfectly acceptable in an email group. As moderator, I don't have that luxury, but I would encourage everyone else to take advantage of it. We get hundreds of posts every month - sometimes well over 1,000 - so no one should feel obliged to read every one of them. We have over 3,000 members, so it is unlikely that any post will remain unread by everyone. [moderator]  I'm new here, and in deciding if I want to remain here, I have to ask: are people who are selling "cures" allowed to join this list and sell their "cures" to the members? I thought this was a support group, so I'm not sure if I want to stay on a group that will be bombed with sales posts, so I'd like to know. Thanks. ann > > Jodi and all others with ADD-Autistic kids.
