Hello!!

Yes It has certainly been a while!! I thought I would check this out again as I am on a long weekend- my last in a while i am sure. I hope to be working another full time job on top of my regular one soon, as financial realities have caught up with me….Duhn duhn duhn…. That infamous sh#t happens thing. So I thought I would catch up and see how things are in some of my fave places.

I am still working on my post that I want to borrow your “doers” line from. It is so intensely personal that I find it hard to write- it is who I am at the moment, and I am pretty angry so I don’t know if I will say what I have to say with the respect it deserves. Every read just makes me rewrite. It is still relevant though.

Keep blogging and I will keep visiting as I can. Never tangle with an insurance company and lose is my helpful tip of the day. That and velcro teenagers to the roof so that you know where they are and when they will be home…..

Skepticism and Autism…

find strategies to fit into a neurotypical society as much as they need to while enjoying and validating their autistic perceptions as well.

Celebrate the child you have. Our children deserve no less.

UPDATE: Doing the found a fab new blog dance!…

No offense taken. That is how we all learn, so I appreciate being given information that I didn’t previously have…I have had enough exposure to people in the past who have tried to sell the new “latest treatment” and I’ve been around long enough see that sometimes the “latest” treatment was one debunked ten years ago (AIT being one). I try to research all “tretments” so that I can help my families see what might be happening. With that beig said, I try to remain open-minded to different diets and alternatives to perscription drugs assuming they are proven not to have risks…I have had succes eliminating my own migraines via yoga and acupuncture.
I do thank you for trying to look out for those who did not have the information or may not know better. And I thank you for the info on trudeau…I looked it up

Hi Squaregirl.

I hope you didn’t take any offense to my mention of his history. I agree with you about the EASe CD’s by the way. If AIT could have medical impact, I think the FDA would be regulating it - and they are not. It’s probably risk-free on the surface to someone like, you, but this kind of stuff can be dangerous to the vulnerable. I really only brought it up so someone new to Estee’s blog, in the future, could make an informed decision.

Thanks for stopping by.

Dad of Cameron,
Thanks for the info on Estee’s website. I didn’t know that about Kevin Trudeau, and I can admit to making mistakes, but usually they are of the twenty dollars or less variety (it was on sale) and aren’t risky. Why I have no problem letting people know about the EASe CD’s instead of AST and letting people know that miso and cilantro are natural chelators, but in no way is this to imply that mercury causes autism, just hey…if you already like these things, it’s not gonna hurt you or make anyone rich by eating them and supposedly they eliminate toxins. I try to keep my mistakes limited to the reasonably priced, non-risky ones, so I might unintentionally buy a book written by someone known for being a con and have an extra bowl of miso soup, I consider those pretty risk-free (I’m out twenty buck, but I’ll live). I don’t encourage risks that go beyond that however.

Again, thanks for letting me know. I’ll read the wiki info.

Living in Autismland and trying to do the best for our kids does throw us into a morass of questions, ethical and emotional, in almost every moment of our lives. Keep asking the hard questions.

Ooooh,

The horns of a quadrilemma?

The thing is–chelation is already curing heart disease and diabetes and acne… isn’t it? (no) so it must be good for autism, too. It’s perfectly logical. (not)

Thanks, D o’ C.
