Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 I only caught the end but it sounded very encouraging! Did anyone get the name of the therapy? Warm Regards & ASD 11/25/00 in Maine Today Show Coming up soon (it's 8:10 my time) is a segment about a child with autism on the Today Show. Apparently she was helped with intensive music therapy.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 http://www.msnbc.com/news/909205.asp Alfred Tomatis, who theorized that autistic children have under-developed inner ears that can be re-trained through intensive sound therapy. While I like the idea of music therapy something about the show bothered me. I'm always bothered by the claims of miracle cures. I'm glad the womens daughter has been discharged from all therapy, all services and is now in a typical school. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Usually, when someone says " cured " , they mean that a child no longer meets the DSM criteria for a diagnosis of autism. Many of these kids continue to have significant challenges however...things like ADHD, DSI, or pragmatic language disorder, and may require support of one kind or another off and on for years.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 I don't know what cured means. The impression I got from watching her on the show is that she considered her daughter " cured " . The show is more then likely slanted anyway to give that impression. Re: Today Show > > While I like the idea of music therapy something about the show bothered me.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 >>bothered by the claims of miracle cures<< I am still new to most of this however I was bothered also. There was a clip on the girl on home video saying " I love you " but she never made eye contact and 4 seems very young to stop all therapy.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 We stopped all therapy with Greggory at 4 yrs old. Every child is different. At 5 yrs old Alec can say I love you But I would never dream of him being able to stop all therapies at this point.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 I think you are right Raena. Most people think of cured as not meeting criteria. As for me I don't think cured is a good word. Like how would I cure Greggory from himself? And Greggory has not met criteria for years and is is still very much autistic.
