This is the last thing I'm gonna post about this. Just cut sfi mom some slack and let's move on.
Autism is one disoder on a spectrum of Pervasive Personality Developments. It's not an illness or a disease. Has more to do with how the brain functions.
Kids with autistic tendencies are somewhat different. But they can also be very bright and talented. Some are more severe than others. Many people with autistic spectrum disorders make amazing contributions...Einstein was one.
The fear here (I'm sure for sfimom) is that IN THE FUTURE, anyone with a label placed on them, even by a doctor, might be in danger.
We just need to fight so it doesn't come to that.
I need to correct something from a previous post.
I meant to say autism is one disorder on a spectrum of Pervasive DEVELOPMENT Disorders, not Pervasive Personality Developments.
My brain is so fried after a week here with little sleep, I can't even think straight anymore, lol.
