And not even necessarily to see if it was the source of the autism, or the yellow diarreah (though I’d get that checked out if it started up again, because…um…that sucks). More because genetic stuff that starts WAY back in utero can come with other organ problems, many of which are silent till they go way bad. Or which are written off as a mild thing and are a moderate to severe thing. Or just can’t be described because if you have it every day it feels normal.

Most docs won’t do a full genome scan anyway, it’s too expensive, insurance won’t cover it, and the chance of finding something positive instead of just “unknown anomaly” is so low.

This all has nothing to do with scientology, biomed, etc…more to do with concern for Baxter, especially as genetics has BOUNDED along since his diagnosis.

Now here is where I have a problem ‘Autism Specialist MD’ is an oxymoron. In precise medical terms, Autism has no medical definition(there seems to be a bizzarre widespread assumption that symptoms+diagnostic criteria = medical condition), ergo it can not possibly be something an MD can specialise in, which is why there are no psychiatric experts in Autism. This is further compounded by the fact that the MD you saw talked utter trash about Autism.

Autistics often do talk and have it completely dismissed with nonsense like “It’s not speech, it’s insert something else here” or some other form of communication that is also dismissed. Despite there being plenty of evidence for this, it is still assumed that the Autistic is at fault when mutual communication attempts fail.

The school district is paid rent by the Scientology run schools on that site. Perhaps a phone call to the school district would explain if there is only one organization paying for the rent for all the schools on that site, your son’s school and the other scientology teaching schools.
Do you have plans to put your kids into Renaissance Academy eventually? If you do, then maybe it’s because The Learning Castle is a feeder school for RA?

I know you feel picked on, Julia, but really, your stories are so out-there. And it doesn’t help that you put the lab results from DDI in your presentation slides. It’s really quite sad that you think your child is mercury poisoned from misleading results from DDI.

Some of the new research that is coming out illustrates the fact that you don’t need a history of autism in the family for their to a spontaneous “blip” in one’s DNA that could manifest itself as autism. So even if it is true that there is no history of autism in your family that doesn’t mean that genes didn’t play a role.

the very first thing we did was have him genetic tested due to my being adopted. The Specialist ran countless tests for numerous genetic disorders. I remember doing way more than the average “panel” because I have so little medical background. the tests revealed nothing. Nothing. His head is large. So are both his parents. His eyes slant down so did his great grandfathers. I have since found my biological family on both sides and there is no history of any genetic disorder nor autism. Sorry. But there is no genetic problem. Period.

He DID see an autism specialist MD affiliated with a large University who proclaimed him moderately autistic…with not much optimism for his future.

You call that talking? For a three year old? “aaaah? bababa d-d-d-d-” and “pruh” for plow? Puhleeze. Thats not talking. Thats vocalizing. My 18 month old could talk in two and three word sentences.

My asking about the school across the street would be like going into McDonald’s and asking to meet the manager at the Taco Bell next door. I didn’t know about that school because Its not my kids school. i defy you to prove that they are in anyway related. I only found out they all have the same address from you all. So the School District for the city is there too. Are they all Scientologists? They apparently have the same address too.

Sigh.

The scientologist MDs would be uninteresting if it weren’t that you so strongly denied knowing what a scientologist was and that you’d never heard of a school whose sign is shown in the background of a video you are in and which school operates out of the very same address as your son’s school. You strain credulity. The school property is owned by the public school system and leased to the scientologists that run the schools on that property so it would seem. Neither would any of this be interesting if scientology was a legitimate religion. It is a dangrous cult. Most people seem to be able to see that. You defend them and try to change the subject in a way that makes you seem like you are one yourself. You are welcome to be one, but you ought to tell people if you are one, otherwise there’s more reason to doubt what you say.

Best wishes to you and your family, too. Good luck getting out of scientology if they have their hooks into you.

z.a.

You were told a lot of bunkum about Autism proven wrong decades ago but still linger in some places where they are still using the same textbooks and the practitioners don’t bother actually bothering to learn anything before forming a professional opinion on it. You should have been referred to an Autism specialist affiliated with a university(they do a lot of diagnoses for Autism so are reliable).

I don’t know more about your child than you, but I do know more about Autism than you and I can say that to quite a lot of people(including generally well-qualified psychiatrists and psychologists). Do those who frequently(and you are not the first) make claims of recovery actually realise what is factually known about Autism? It is extreme malpractice and absence of ethics to remove a diagnosis, but as you say you don’t care, you’re fine with it, regardless of the long-term consequences it might have for your son.

By the way, psychiatrists generally do not know squat about Autism. There is no particular area of psychiatry that deals with it and little information about Autism which can be considered psychiatric in nature. It is however field in which psycholoy has abundant information; psychologists are scientists, a quite many steps up from doctors in terms of informative research, scrutiny and understanding of Autism that psychiatry alone simply doesn’t cover.

If my kid fell out of a tree and broke her skull and was raced to the hospital…would you expect me to ask the Scientology association of the ambulance driver, the nursing and doctor staff that would treat her? Baxter’s situation was of emergency status…and if someone wanted to help him. I was all for it.

I get that you think Hirani and Mullan are tied to Scientology. I don’t know…. again….nor do I care. They also did not remove his label. 3 of the above mentioned sources did. So they were involved in his biomed treatment. That is all. They did not diagnose him nor remove his label. They treated him. I get that you guys care and care alot. I don’t.

Do you guys know that Mullan’s MD is in Pyschiatry? Isn’t that a bit incongrous to your theory?

I was told that my child would most likely never talk, be potty trained and may even have some mental retardation. He rolled car wheels and watched water pour for hours on end all the while crying incessantly. He had yellow diarrhea running down his legs at all times, he never slept, he had fungus eating away at his skin. He is now a happy joyous fun little boy with tons of friends and activities. I am fascinated you find the concept of his recovery so ridiculous.

So…I’m certain I’m wrong again. That crystal ball of yours knowing my life better than I know myself. Time to stop this and go play with my kids.

My usual…
wishing you the best for yourselves and your families,
Julia

My intention was to point out the ethics of ‘curing’ Autism, drawing comparisons with homosexuality, of which there are many appropriate comparisons to make with Autism. Greg missed this, thinking that I was accusing Scientology of being anti-gay(even bringing up the cliche “some of my friends are gay” which in no way changes anything because there are plenty of tolerant Christians that have gay friends even if they can’t accept the homosexual act), which I wasn’t. But then it turned out there was such an instance where the Church of Scientology demonstrated very anti-homosexual tendencies.

That is beside the point, which is that there are ethics being ignored and Scientologists are complicit in this.

I’m suprised noone has accused you of being a “reptile” or part of the “illuminati” yet
