I don't think you can really draw a definite line and say if you don't have ALL these problems, you aren't really autistic. For example, the drs said my severely autistic son would never potty-train. We finally potty-trained him by age EIGHT. One of the proudest times of my life!<br /><br />I do believe you are right though and that the "spectrum" has become a catch-all watering down the REAL effort that SHOULD be happening - the finding of a cure!<br /><br />Just discovered your blog and I am enjoying it very much even if I don't agree with every word. Thank you for making me think. I like to read things that challenge me and my research and experience with my son's autism, because it might give me a fresh perspective on something!My Son's Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20954432.post-75894106667195888342010-02-12T23:33:26.240-05:002010-02-12T23:33:26.240-05:00OMG you are so right!

Temple has mental problems, but she's not autistic. Autism is a developmental disorder. Temple, and Donna Williams and people like Ari Ne'emen are mental cases, not autism cases. It is truly unreal how ignorant and gullible the media and general public is about REAL TRUE autism. You Tube has excellent videos of REAL autism under autism and seizure and autism and self injury. Also, saw a video on YT titled autism spectrum seems out of control that was right on. You tell it brother! Speak the truth. This has to be exposed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20954432.post-3490040552671139302010-02-11T04:10:26.669-05:002010-02-11T04:10:26.669-05:00I totally agree with your post.

All the stories in the media about these exceptional 'autistic' individuals ie: Temple, the boy who joined his basketball team then went on to meet George Bush, etc. are not really autistic in the way my son is. We all like to believe in the miracles because we don't want to face the realities. I've met so many people who think my son is Rain Man. Classic autism is my son, the hitting, the screaming, the harsh reality of any disability. I am fed up of the hollywood version of my son's condition. Some parents are in denial and need the movie versions of this horrible infliction. It sucks when you realize the reality, but that's life. I wish more people told the truth about what autism really is and then maybe we'd get more help from the government (especially here in Canada). I don't mean to be a bummer, but it's time to tell the truth.<br /><br />AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20954432.post-13153027662599574812009-12-21T20:05:50.875-05:002009-12-21T20:05:50.875-05:00I don't think Alex has the capacity to create ...I don't think Alex has the capacity to create and produce videos that are meaningful and unoriginal.

They are Broca's area and Wernicke's area. Broca's aphasia is a spot of the brain affected by aluminum (frontal lobe) and affects expressive language - you can find info on this by researching dialysis patients and the changes in the frontal lobe of Alzheimer's patients. <br /><br />Wernicke's area is highly affected by mercury. This area is where a person does their comprehension of speech, auditory processing, etc. - more of a receptive language area. Just search "Wernicke's area mercury".<br /><br />Read the small print on the bottom of the first page here:<br /><br />http://www.nslc.wustl.edu/courses/Bio3059/stein/handouts/GeschwindLoRes.pdf<br /><br />"During recovery, global aphasia evolves to Broca's Aphasia."<br />(Neurology in Clinical Practice, Bradley 2004) I am guessing as a "survival mechanism"...in other words, the person though unable to speak is at least able to understand to some extent.<br /><br />I think this is why people say kids with autism will improve without any treatment, which is true to an extent but it is not healing improvement, it is just compensation.<br /><br />For any chance of true healing, the metals have to come out, period.Brandonsrecoveryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972236294973062454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20954432.post-74411036064256574602009-12-21T06:54:06.894-05:002009-12-21T06:54:06.894-05:00I don't know what happened but I copied it fro...I don't know what happened but I copied it from the cache and put it on my Autism Fraud blog.John Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133970669787632440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20954432.post-48908312967030805002009-12-20T23:30:53.600-05:002009-12-20T23:30:53.600-05:00The Amanda Baggs Controversy page is no longer onl...The Amanda Baggs Controversy page is no longer online.

They are not all geniuses and often have barely normal IQs.<br /><br />Van Gogh was bipolar, not autistic. Einstein had a personality according to the who knew him, so he was not definitely autistic.<br /><br />When is this fetishistic crap going to stop?<br /><br />Alex Plonker has nothing wrong with him.

I have now written many books and compose music for films- though I rarely mention my autism. I'm not aspergers. I'm savant. Which means I can learn a language in a few weeks. However, I have trouble with "normal" stuff. <br />I've had to accept a lot of prejudice from people like you throughout my life...including family. It gives me great hope to know that prejudice, like yours, comes from ignorance.
