Success With Autism

In 1999, when my son was in 6th grade, the CDC maintained that the autism rate was holding constant at 1/2500.  At the time, my son was one of 4 autistic children in a school of 250 children. If...

Take a look at this table.  This is a table taken from CDC vaccine data showing three of the ingredients in vaccines.  The method of showing that a vaccine has nothing to do with autism is to t...

David is now 24 years old.  He is starting on his last year before he will achieve a BS in Electrical Engineering.  He is starting on his senior project where he is working on a robot car with ...

How many believe in the gluten free, casein free (GFCF) diet?  It did not work for David.  He was on it for about a year without any change.  For me, the GFCF diet is the right idea with the w...

David is autistic.  He still is.  The diagnosis still is, just as would be expected as autism is a lifelong condition.  As a three year old, he had all of the signs:  aphasia, which in his ca...

When a vaccine is administered to a child, a weakened or dead form of the virus is injected.  Along with the virus, adjuvants such as aluminum phosphate, aluminum hydroxide, squalene are injecte...

There are so many things out in the world about autism that are just plain wrong.  If autism is to gain any treatment inroads these wrong things have to be cleared away.  So let's start with so...

How many studies have been done to prove that there is no link between autism and vaccines.  It has to be a lot.  All of them have been statistical.  All of them reach the conclusion that ther...

For me, the denial that there is an autism epidemic is the medical equivalent of denial of the holocaust.  In the spirit of protecting the vaccine industry from any linkage to autism, the pro-va...

At the end of fourth grade, David suffered another setback.  He lost the ability to hold a pencil.  Prior to this, and on his IEP, we insisted that David write in cursive script because he coul...

My hat is off to Dr Rosemary Waring.  She was the first I saw who identified something different about autistic children.  I am not saying that she was the first to do so, only that she was the...

Before I begin talking about my decision to look for something more, I should talk about David's state of being when he started fourth grade.  There were a number of different aspects to this an...

Back in the Dark Ages, the earth was the center of the universe and it was heresy to say otherwise.  The mathematicians of the day managed to predict star positions using this theory with accura...

The medical community and a host of others claim that the proof is out there if we would only look.  There is no connection between autism and vaccines.  For those of us who have looked and for...

The realization that autism had to advance medically was painful.  David had participated in getting a law passed here in Colorado that defined autism as a medical condition.  This effort might...

Some of the mothers of autistics with whom David grew up work the politics of public care for our children. They have been doing so since David was diagnosed. Indeed, David was part of one of the...

The period from second grade to fourth grade was one of stagnation. The rest of the class progressed from second grade in mentality, maturity and capability. David was left behind starting at a f...

I don't count myself as a devout atheist. At the same time I don't have faith in any particular religion. It is true now and it was true then. But for a while, David saw God as the only means by ...

The vaccine debate has always fascinated me, mainly because the debate is so polarizing that people on both sides of the debate believe religiously, zealously and fanatically that vaccines do or ...

Two questions were: What happened? What can be done about it. I had never heard about anyone, autistic or otherwise who had lost skills like David had. Our pediatrician referred David to one of t...

I have to say that I was in shock at what had happened to David. He went from a gifted and talented, albeit autistic, child to one who simply could not retain anything that was taught to him. Da...

In late September of second grade, David changed, and not for the better. Here was a kid who, though autistic, was in many ways far ahead of the rest of the class. David had been able to add with...

A lot of things happened in first grade. David was blossoming. He was learning how to talk. He was participating in class. He was learning how to read. I read to him all the time. We could let hi...

I pose this question to the autism community. Is autism exogenous or endogenous to the brain? That is, is the cause or the origin of autism external to the brain or is the cause inside the brain....

When David was four, we moved him from Developmental Pathways to the Day Treatment Center. It was more expensive. It meant that we would have to take him there ourselves. It meant a far greater c...
