my thoughts on Discover article

[Guest guest]

I just finished reading the whole article. I was crying by the

end-just because I am so happy to see this information in print.

I'm so glad that this came out right know so I know we are not

crazy. Do you guys feel that way sometimes? I mean we know the

improvements we have seen in our son Porter are real but I hate

being under constant attack from family who think we have gone off

the deep end, quackwatch and all the anti'curbies' on the web. I'm

also so glad that they said what they did about not always aiming

for a 'full recovery' just the best you can do for the kids. I can

not imagine a better article on autism and the potential treatments

available. I am so glad Discover printed it.

I loved how they tip toed around the vaccine-mercury stuff-it was

there but spread out. The funniest line says 'a growing sense that

low dose, multiple toxic and infectious exposures may be a major

contributing factor to autism and its related disorders.' that is a

political way of saying VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM isn't it? 'low dose,

multiple toxic and infectious exposure' that is a real long subtle

way to say vaccines. I laughed for 5min over just that sentence. I

guess the author had to be really careful about how she said it. I

learned with papers I have written that people shut down and stop

listening when you say vaccines and mercury cause autism. It is

like you just told them you saw a space ship and Elvis was piloting

it. I'm gonna buy a dozen copies and take them to all the doctors,

teachers and anti'curbies' that have snickered at us for the last

year and say in the words of my teenage daughter 'oh! what now?'. I

would rather be a crazy 'curbie' than a 'quitter' or a 'never got

off my ass and tried anything to help my kid' parent anyway.
