What have you been smoking? Even for you, this level of incoherence is most unusual. Krostina Chew, anti-treatment??? Strange, she should be a role model for you – moves halfway round the US in seaerch of the best ABA program and this is bad? I thought you liked ABA. Isn’t it the only effective treatment in your book? Of course Kristina makes it clear that ABA suits Charlie – she’s careful not to assume that that would be the case for others. We also respect her choices – she’s such a reasonable human being you see. So calling someone like Kristina non traditional is sort of dumb and non thinking.

As for this safe effective cure you carry on about endlessly, where is it? How close are we to having one? If we’re not anywhere close, why do you keep harping on about it as if it were real? You want to look like a bona fide autism advocate don’t you? Maybe you need to get a better grip on reality and leave the magical cure thinking alone for a bit. Reputations still count and yours is looking a little frayed around the edges.

Sensible parents will ignore your ideology.

umm, the ideology of scientific rigor?

Children aren’t going to be cured of autism without rebuilding their brains from scratch. It’s not going to happen in our lifetimes.

What we will get in out times is genetic screening, pre and post conception.

Think about it Harold. You are so very pathetic that you post fawning sycophancy on AoA even though you profess not to be believe in an autism/vaccine association. Why? because you are so consumed with misunderstanding for what boils down to respect that you are willing to join up with anyone who stands against those you oppose.

I respect AoA more than I respect you Harold. At least they have an opinion and a reason. You just have your ignorance and a desperate bleating to be heard.

You know, apart from the dialogue she engages in. Routinely. On her blog. Publically. On a easily verifiable and checkable source.

In case you have not noticed there are many people, including parents who, unlike Ms Chew do not subscribe to Neurodiversity, anti-cure ideology, who do not want research and dialogue to move away from the search for a cure for their children’s neurological disorders.

Kev, if you have decided that you would not cure your severely autistic child in the event that a cure becomes available, that is your choice to make not mine. I do not pretend to understand your reasoning.

If a safe, effective, cure does become available some day and you, as a parent, refuse treatment on behalf of your child, you may have to discuss it with state authorities in whatever jurisdiction you reside in but it is still not my business to tell you not to seek treatment for your child’s severe neurological disorder.

Nor is it your business, or Ms Chew’s, to tell more traditional parents who seek to help their children overcome such a debilitating disorder not to seek treatment.
You can insult, mock and demean until the cows come home but you will always be wasting your time. Sensible parents will ignore your ideology.

But if it makes you feel better as a person to insult parents fighting on behalf of THEIR children, not yours, or Ms Chews, ... then carry on. I am sure they give your remarks the weight they deserve.
