Some children speak fluently, others are mute.

Past (1970')studies have shown that giving a mute child some B-6 supplementation will get them talking.

Thought this might be of some interest to you (based on your comment on another thread re your daughter). :-)

Who can forget the brilliant end to the TV series, "St. Elsewhere"?

Interesting article. My nephew has Asperger's autism. My brother and his wife were told that many people exhibit mild symptoms without ever being clinically diagnosed, and chances are there is a recessive tendency towards autism in both families (I have a cousin who is in her 50's who, had she been child today would probably have this diagnosis).

I also see some of my nephew's traits in one of my twins, albeit slight. I know when and if she ever has children this will be on my mind.

The truth is they really don't know the cause of autism.Sure it's hard to raise an autistic child, but what rewards you get ! My son is a gift from God, so brilliant, so funny with the way he phrases things. His shrink is the "talk doctor", he fires me as Dad once a week, and he told me last week a girl at his high school made his heart go "pitter patter". He taught himself to read when he was three years old, and is a whiz at math like you've never seen. He bugs me incessantly at Christmas time about Santa, and gifts- he always wants to open his gifts. He will fight me tooth and nail about everything , then turn around and ask permission to go to sleep. Life with Josh is never dull...

This is a sad, yet good article. God bless these people.

I'm waiting though for the first poster to claim that there's no such thing as autism or that it's caused by not reading the Bible enough.

The life of a kid with Asperger's who is struggling to remain "mainstreamed" in grade school is no bed of roses. It's a struggle every day, to put it mildly.....

Does anyone here, whose child, or relative has autism, suspect that it was triggered by a vaccine?

I am holding off on the MMR vaccine for my son, until I get more information.

Thanks in advance!
