If your child was diagnosed with cancer would you just accept it? or would you do every educated method to heal them.

1) yes, I would accept it. Accepting a diagnosis is not giving up. How are you supposed to try to help your child if you don’t accept the situation?

2) emphasis is on “educated”. “educated method”. Many methods are not “educated”. Chelation—a method Jenny McCarthy claimed she was considering for her child—not educated.

Lisa—did you do anything else? No Speech therapy? No occupational therapy? No school?

People who support biomed often claim people are “giving up on their kids”. This is probably the least insulting of the many insults biomed parents use. Oddly, the common belief is that biomed parents are more polite and nurturing.

I hope you can see that “giving up on your kids” is highly insulting.

It is a difficult balancing act, and one I am not particularly good at: how do you show that you disagree (even strongly) with the path that another parent is taking and not be insulting?

It would be to the benefit of your image here for you to refrain from making such an accusation again.

It is a little bit like having poor eye sight.For some people, being near sighted or far sighted may actually be helpful.But someone who has to, say,wear glasses for reading, has no idea what life is like for someone who is blind.
Similarly high functioning autism looks very different from the life of someone with low functioning autism,trapped and unable to even communicate.No one deserves to live in that kind of prison, and any loving parent of a severely autisic child, in my opinion deserves compassion not criticism .

I’ve met educated, motivated and intelligent parents with ‘children with autism’ who are getting into young adulthood. Yet, despite having nearly two decades of daily experience with a child with autism, they can easily lack conditional knowledge that is expected of your average autism professional. Parents can actually be a detriment, as I’ve witnessed multiple times.

Being a parent is no guarantee of competence, just as not being a parent does not guarantee incompetence. That is how it is, your ego might wish you were better than anyone who disagrees with you, but you have to accept that ‘Mother’ may know best about her child as ‘her’ child, it doesn’t mean ‘Mother’ knows best about that child as a person with autism.

Knowledge of daily life with someone does not confer knowledge of biochemistry, neurology or immunology. People like you need to realise that.

The sad thing about people like you is that you will clamour and grasp for people to listen to your claims and investigate them, yet, when people do, and find them wanting in terms of evidence or substance, you’ll be the first to decry the expertise of those people. Oh, as long as they disagree with you of course. Anyone who agrees is never money motivated, incompetant or fraudulent. Only the highly experienced, trained and respected mainstream researchers are.

P.S. Other countries exist, including places where Drs get paid very little or nothing for immunisations. You claim does not, and never will account for the global story.

The sad part is that drug companies has America brain washed. Doctors make loads off immunizations.

Jenny is a genius. The book is perfect!

Of course, what people like J do when this is pointed out to them, is to point to people with severe comorbids, or to people who have been institutionalised or abandoned, and say “See! They haven’t progressed” and not even realise that they’re cherry-picking the worst cases.

They never tell us how long or how much £$ it’s taken them to get there, or even if the aquired behaviour is functional or merely presents well. Even the majority of the original cohorts had speech, but that doesn’t mean they were considered successful speakers.

Dedj – an autistic person, with autistic family members, who works in a autism service, who has friends with autism, who has clinical and academic experience of autism (fairly average lb/rb reader then) – out.

Whats also sad and shocking is that you and the rest of the antivax loons are brining about a return to an era when diseases such as measles and Polio will soon be rampant again. Well done you.
