WOW

Apparently a third of children overcome the disorder naturally! Yesterdays Daily Mail.

I am actually quite concern about certain news coming on the media lately .....in a time where everyone is wary of spending public money this can lead to very worrying situations more than the ones already experienced for all of us when dealing with the public services.

This came from the parents themselves

"The researchers questioned 1,366 parents of children aged 17 and younger who had been previously diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Of these, 453 parents said their children no longer had the condition and had grown out of it since the age of seven."

Personally I do not believe for a nano second that any of them had autism in the first place but before everyone starts throwing buns at me I also believe autism is underdiagnosed.

I believe the same, absolutely !

but this can lead to all sorts of situations to postpone a diagnosis in the hope that the parents will feel that the child has grown out of it or maybe to not give one at all ......the fact that parents come to say this is even more worrying in my opinion, and actually believing that it was parents saying so (I am not so sure)....this raises all sorts of questions and even if this children never had autism in the first place it already murky the waters and in some cases that is all is needed, I am afraid.

I know that services are inefficient to say the least and very few do actually benefit from it but this actually removes any legitimacy to argue for better care in the first place, in one word brilliant done and scary !!

I also don't believe the kids had autism and "simply" grew out of it. As a mum who has and is busting her butt to do everything she can to hear her child's voice, I take offence to such a crappy article. I'm sorry but I seriously would like to strangle someone.Strike that, I make no apologies.

How can you out grow all the insults targetted at a vunerable developing brain? I was once told by a paed. that for asd children it's all in the brain, 'very complex and all the brain'. (Ironicallly as we walked in to his office he was reading up on his pc screen what the definiton and symptoms of tourettes was).

I suppose autism doesn't mean anything anyway so theoretically you could

grow out of something that doesn't exist.

HAving said that it always seems to me that the media try to play down

the seriousness of autism, it's often represented on television by

people who are near-typical/ just a bit quirky. I'm full of conspiracy

theories but it's a good way to stop the nation panicking about the

epidemic and not question the cause, etc.
