Some kids do have brain abnormalities that are very subtle and do not interfere with gross motor functioning per se....

Frankly, some brain abnormalities are CAUSED by improper nurturing, so which came first: chicken or egg?

Let me first say to you that your posts on this thread have been uniformly personal, sneering and pompous. My money in on your not having any expertise in this area, such as a doctorate in neurochemistry.

And then let me point out that you obviously did not read the link in my post about brain abnormalities caused by general anesthesia before the age of two. What part does bad parenting possibly have to play in that scenario? Should they have let the child die?

I dunno, what part of improper nurturing causes autism?

which is also skyrocketing? (and is now being researched as the possible result of prenatal exposure to toxins in our food, workplace and even atmosphere. Military families have a higher than normal rate of autism

ADHD is actually an autism spectrum disorder, according to our medical consultants. Lots of similarities in behaviors in some cases. Our son has both. ADHD meds are lifesavers.
