Oh I know. There are multiple ultrasounds for all kids just about and most are not autistic. What causes this ridiculously high trend? I know five in my close circle of immediate family and friends

When I told the military doctor I didn’t need no steenkin ultrasound, the peer pressure was so turned up I had to use my old anti Long Island Catholic School Girls room b-—ches tactics to fend him off

They are largely unecessary in any case

The autism might be from antibiotic use, formula, plastics, microwave ovens, vaccine misuse, but the hatred spewed toward the curious certainly works in favor of those who want to keep the cause and even the fact of the epidemic under wraps

Wonder if this technique, or something like it, could be used to treat Alzheimers or Parkinsons?

In any event, this is a promising breakthrough that will no doubt be enhanced with further study.

No apparent problems. Different frequencies yield different results. It is usually when you hit a resonant frequency of something is when you can get a noticeably good, or bad result.

Medical energy devices can produce excellent results that do not leave people on prescription drugs with side effects, the rest of their lives.

How long do you have to wait for a guy to come out of a coma before you can ask his ex-girlfriend out?

I detect a Seinfeld fan.

Would be way more interesting with some details, like the medical history.

Good questions. My first thought was this sounds very promising and miraculous. Any blessing can be misused, but this one definitely sounds like a blessing.

Oh. I used ultrasound to fix my shoulder that even a supposed good chiropractor was threatening surgery consult for

A lot of fooling around though. No one can give me a medical reason for fetal ultrasound

I think that epidemic of which you speak is due to a lowering of criteria and the ability to get SSI for those so diagnosed.

I don’t think there are more autistic kids than before, as in the 1970’s. I think the not so severe cases were mainstreamed, and the more obviously disabled moved to “option 2 or option 3” environments.

As more lawyers became involved the criteria used to classify as option two or three, and the SSI option to these children increased to so diagnosed, moved a great many parents to pressure for a positive diagnosis.

Also the education establishment increases in size with all of the “special education, reading education, and therapists”.

Ok. I grew up in the baby boom. Everyone around me had a lot of kids. I grew up with twenty cousins all of whom I know and all of whom are within a ten year age span. I knew zero autistic kids. Now I know of a multitude of families with an autistic child - boys

You can talk all you want but you’re wasting your effort with me

Probably because he didn't want a lawsuit if something was wrong with your baby and he HADN'T done the ultrasound. Sadly, that's what medical care looks like these days - defending against potential lawsuits.

I am curious to know why autism tends to strike the male sex overwhelmingly.

Correlation is not causation. There are a lot of things that are different now. We use baby carriers more instead of holding them and there is valid scientific evidence that human contact is critical for development.

Experts believe even those in a vegetative or minimally conscious state could benefit

Maybe they'll use this on Hillary Clinton in the election debates.

I said correlation was not causation

You’re wasting my time
