To not get me wrong ...
By: Pianda. on 02 Dec 08, 20:31:02
To not get me wrong: because every singular existence is related to a surrounding, each person should see hs. related (that can also mean through the eyes of others). The young autist cannot do this. BUT: on a rational level the adult autist should always try to get the right IDEA to these things. It´s not enough, it can´t be the end point to conclude: I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH MY AUTISM, I am o.k. ---RELATE! By switching to such a persp. you dynamically help yourself tws. normality.

By: Pianda. on 02 Dec 08, 20:18:59
The problem is just that you are autistic. Look what the parents say: H. is not sharing his life with them. They would easily give away some of kid´s gentleness to have a more autentic, "real" contact with the boy. It´s not fair of adult autistics to restrict the relevant theme to their notion of being "so and so". Wake up and put your surroundings view into your focus. Then the view on you is different, less pleasing! But that is the principle (to learn) challenge for autists

By: aspie101. on 02 Dec 08, 03:25:08
Most families don't "suffer" from autism. It's just not smart to piss off an autistic. We are sweet, innocent, and gentle, but we will defend ourselves if necessary, as we are the targets for bullies. We are probably more mature than any of those types of people that call us retards. We are just more sensative, and gentle.

By: sophiegromit. on 27 Nov 08, 00:20:56
I grew up with a brother (who is now 45 and still living with my elderly parents) who was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder AND Asperger's. Back then (70's, 80's) there was NO 'support system' for kids like these, and he essentially 'fell through the cracks'. He is depressed, pessimistic, and sometimes violent, even though he now (too late?) gets help. My wife and I were recently told by our 3 year old daughter's pediatrician, that she may 'have something'. It has been VERY stressful.

By: MondoBeno. on 25 Nov 08, 12:42:09
You need to accept your son as he is. I'm 30, I have Aspergers AND a masters in Special Ed. I've worked with kids like these, and I assure you, if your marriage can't survive this, it wasn't meant to be. Here's what I suggest.... Each of you needs a break now and then. Your wife should take a few days away to visit relatives or just have some space. Then you might do the same. My parents never accepted me as I was. The result-I have no love for my family anymore.

By: cuddleyduddley. on 22 Nov 08, 11:05:24
I'm still trying to figure out how this kid is autistic. He might be having some minor tantrums, but lots of kids have tantrums. His speech is great. He seems very intelligent. It seems to me his parents need to get more of an education and diagnosis. I've seen lots of autistic kids. I'd say Hunter is not autistic but suffers ADHD.

Try living with it every day, with no support, and then see how you feel as a parent. We love our special kids, as do theses loving parents. They need support and understanding, not your judgment and ridicule.

By: Southlakeshore. on 19 Nov 08, 00:30:35
I truly appreciate your being so open. My Son was diagnosed 2.5years ago with autism. There was no help. He was our "problem". Our Neighbors are not understanding at all. Even with the challenges I have hope. My husband was diagnosed at 4 with autism. Non verbal until 5, speech problems until 20 years old. Still has some minor affects. Now works at the same Job for 10+ years, married 13 years and 2 kids later, it's possible for him to have it all. Just remember to lovingly support him.

By: blestby3. on 12 Nov 08, 15:36:37
This is a powerful video because it is a reflection of our lives. We have an 8 yr old autistic son and can relate to your experiences, your feelings and what you go through day by day. Some people have no idea of what it is like dealing with autism as a family.Your son is precious. He reminds me a lot of our son. Our prayers are with your family and the entire autistic community. I appreciate your willingness to share.

I look at the positive characteristics each one of my students presents, and they all are so perfect in their own way as is any child. I am REPULSED as well as UNDERSTANDING OF THOSE THAT ARE JUST IGNORANT! I am sorry you just are not OPEN AND EDUCATED ENOUGH to understand this.

By: fluffylvr. on 06 Nov 08, 01:43:50
The narration on this concerns me. Being autistic won't necessarily keep your son from experiencing those things you want for him. I'm autistic, and I fell in love, got married, held successful jobs. I'll never be able to live alone, but I don't want to anyway. I even took piano lessons for 10 years! The trick is to find the things he's good at and build on them. There are "normal" people who aren't happy. Normal doesn't equal happy. Just help him find his niche in life and he'll be happy too.

By: brandonistonedeaf. on 01 Dec 08, 02:24:28
no, i completely understand. truthfully, i used to think that i have asperger's--why else would i watch this video? it's just that there are so many self-diagnosed people who claim to have asperger's and are, in actuality, just people with severely unlikeable personalities through ignorance or selfishness. myself included. i'd say more than half on the people who claim to have "apserger's" need to kill or diminish their ego (drugs, meditation) and take a long and difficult look at themselves.

By: jrudolph2. on 29 Nov 08, 23:58:27
I didnt get that at all. But yeah, I imagine his lips are entirely impossible to read. Maybe you are talking about his previous comments mostly... but the video itself doesn't address a cause of autism, it is more an expose on Asperger's work on its classification.

By: ginsengaddict. on 29 Nov 08, 02:11:52
i'd think you would prefer being aspergers as opposed to having the 3 main traits of a politician.. but i guess i'm mistaken.. and i'm afraid reading your lips is impossible.. however, reading your previous comments, i gathered that your opinion is stated as vaccines being the main cause of autism - so, if i have misinterpreted your words, i do apologize..

"I do agree that there needs to be a lot more understanding and empathy for those afflicted with autism in all its variants." and you didnt say so before... why? however, i disagree that finding a cure for aspergers (or any "disability" for that matter) is a good thing.. i don't see why putting us all through a combine, after some of us have had very successful lives and become remarkable people, is positive..

By: sophiegromit. on 28 Nov 08, 18:45:34
LOL, so according to you now, I may have Asperger's! You could have said I have dogged persistence, conviction, or a strong opinion. Again, read my lips, I never said vaccines were the ONLY cause. But one must be highly suspicious and wary when countless babies and toddlers have exhibited immediate reactions following certain vaccines, and when bona fide MD's like Dr. Joseph Mercola believe the vaccines ARE harmful to SOME individuals!

I'm not the only ...
By: sophiegromit. on 28 Nov 08, 18:38:47
I'm not the only one that believes vaccines have caused autism in SOME individuals (I never said it was the only cause. Frankly, there are legions of doctors who do believe this, and of course, many that don't. Your comment about "trying to fix us" is insulting. Researching, understanding and curing ALL diseases or medical conditions is the epitome of good, caring medicine. I do agree that there needs to be a lot more understanding and empathy for those afflicted with autism in all its variants.

By: ginsengaddict. on 28 Nov 08, 12:38:11
one of the many traits of aspergers syndrome is obsessive interest and stubbornly believing oneself to be right.. traits you yourself are displaying at the moment.. perhaps it would also interest you to know that a good friend of mine with aspergers comes from a poor neighborhood, and was given no vaccines at birth.. so yet again (note that i hate repeating myself), your logic is flawed - vaccines are not the main cause of aspergers and they never were..

and does your ...
By: ginsengaddict. on 28 Nov 08, 12:30:54
and does your brother believe the doctoral hearsay that you're so emotively spelling out for me? although i must agree with you on the point of irreversibility.. in fact, i mentioned this point in a previous comment.. so, once again, please stop talking about vaccines being the only cause.. trans fat promotes alzheimers, but it is not the only cause.. what matters to me (and likely also your brother) is that the general public learn to appreciate us as we are, and stop trying to fix us, ok?

By: sophiegromit. on 27 Nov 08, 14:20:09
'ginsengaddict', no YOU shut up simpleton! I am educated and well read, and have a brother who has Aspergers. There may be many factors as to what causes all anomalies within the autism spectrum, so deal with the facts. MANY babies and toddlers have experienced IMMEDIATE adverse, and often IRREVERSIBLE reactions to certain vaccines, and MANY doctors worldwide DO believe that certain forms of autism ARE caused by certain vaccines in certain individuals. Open your eyes and your mind.

No, it is not. You ...
By: sophiegromit. on 27 Nov 08, 14:15:09
No, it is not. You are different than your siblings, as is your immune system. No two people are alike. There are many cases of a sibling having autism, whereby that sibling is younger, and HAS obtained many more vaccines than their brothers or sisters. There are many documented cases of babies or toddlers having IMMEDIATE ADVERSE REACTIONS following vaccination as well! Many INDEPENDENT studies need to be done.

By: ginsengaddict. on 27 Nov 08, 07:38:12
you could say the same of me - however, i am a genuinely diagnosed case of aspergers, and a lot of what astrynangelo1 described, i can personally relate too.. brandonistonedeaf, i posit that YOU are the asshole for not having the openmindedness to accept something you don't understand - aspergers inhibits a person's ability to recognize social signals and facial expressions, and thus causes behavior that seems asshole-like.. they can't help it, so maybe you should be a bit more sympathetic..

By: ginsengaddict. on 27 Nov 08, 07:10:12
sophiegromit - please shut up you've got all the passion, but none of the facts.. cases of aspergers existed prior to the rise of vaccine usage - what you're suggesting is that a cessation of vaccine usage will fix the problem, but it won't - aspergers will still be around.. frankly, i find it insulting that you treat it like a problem that needs to be fixed - i have endured aspergers all my life and i am quite happy the way i am.. so unless you are also an aspie: please shut up.

By: ginsengaddict. on 27 Nov 08, 07:02:03
it might interest you to know that i myself am an aspie, and i have 3 siblings who are NOT aspies --- all 3 of my siblings have been given at least thrice the amount of vaccinations at birth (thanks to different requirements for different countries) that i have been given, yet i am the case of aspergers... so i say again: your belief (and also your logic) is flawed.

By: sophiegromit. on 26 Nov 08, 23:52:48
If you're talking about the 60's or 70's, yes, it was more 'in the closet'. But sufficient information has been out the last 25 years to indicate that Autism is ON THE RISE (per capita). 'Chemically', most vaccines contain toxins, not just limited to Mercury (flu vaccines). There is also aluminum, formaldehyde, and more. The huge increase in the sheer NUMBER of vaccines disseminated to babies/toddlers, in total, is hurting many children. Not all babies have excellent immune systems!

By: sophiegromit. on 23 Nov 08, 04:07:23
Logic is subjective, yes, but also based on educated hunches and reality. It is logical to claim that the more vaccines an infant/toddler gets, the more of a chance of harm per capita. Especially given the fact that there are toxins such as formaldehyde, aluminum, and yes, even mercury in some of these vaccines.

By: shanefairhead. on 23 Nov 08, 01:08:23

By: paisleyyama. on 13 Aug 08, 08:20:04
I`m wondering what standard the study used to define better? Did it mean sitting sit still & quiet? Or did it mean going from a D & F student to an all A student? Or did it mean a child went from rude & obnoxious in his behavior to very polite and socially pleasant (not calm & quiet that`s a different thing). I think the definition of "better" is very important.

By: Voyeur53. on 01 May 08, 00:17:47
Wow! I have to say that from my experience, I totally agree with this study. I have a 16 year old son with Aspergers/ADHD/anxiety. He had intense therapy/behavioral intervention as a child and we saw very little improvement in his behavior. What helped the most was medication. By the way, atwhite, I think that your outlook will not be as gloomy once your son is older. Maturation is a glorious thing : )

At 18 months old she was climbing up bookcases in the middle of the night and screaming cause she couldn't get down. At 4 yrs. old, she was ready to jump off her windowsill in an attempt to fly.

By: drummermylo. on 24 Jul 07, 07:06:41
After doing some research, I stumbled upon a paper published by Dr. Peter R Breggin. Here is an excerpt from his paper. "The framer of the MTA studies, Peter Jensen (then at NIMH), and all the principal investigators are drug advocates who touted the positive results of the study even before it was completed or published. They have devoted their careers to encouraging the concept of ADHD and the drugging of children. Some, like Conners, have been doing so for four decades."

usually as you age the aspergers calms down and you can function quite a bit. you can hold a job, but i married someone who was similar to me. we are both very intelligent and highly educated, but have no desire to socialize, etc. i have one friend that i occassionally talk to. hubbie is the same way. we have a house, kids, etc. just like everyone else. we have our issues, but we just don't like to be around people. it will get better don't worry too much. your a good dad!

By: jjazman1234. on 13 Aug 08, 17:16:39
I just wanted to point out one thing. You said that the average age of "follow-up" on these people was early 20's. What percentage of average (so called "normal") kids in their early 20's are not living at home with their parents or not working. I would say that over 50% (that is an educated guess) of people under 25 either live at home or don't work, so it's not much different from the aspergers kids. Just an observation.

By: jmbirk. on 10 Jun 08, 03:04:31
I'd assume my PDD-NOS is relevant here. After a school suspension for a misunderstood and "threatening letter" found in a class journal, I was taken to Dr. Bennett Leventhal for diagnosis. I was 11. I'm 20 now; a former "gifted child" that can't seem to get his life together; transferring around colleges all the time and getting straight A's; doesn't drive; never had a girlfriend; addicted to the internet; unemployed. I appear higher functioning than I am. I freak out a lot at home.

By: ABAisSCIENCE. on 15 Apr 08, 00:26:26
"Recovered" or "Indistinguishable" people are proof of behavior modification as almost all the stories of GFCF diets and biomedical treatment are also doing behavior modification and speech therapy. This is because parents choose eclectic treatments. The proven intervention is behavior modification called ABA as there are over 600 research articles proving ABA as significantly impacting autism.

Unfortunately, ...
By: ABAisSCIENCE. on 15 Apr 08, 00:21:06
Unfortunately, probably all the kids in the study did not receive an intervention that is very good & works 2 help them succeed in life. Some like to say, "under the guise of 'it's for his/her own good'" as if they know anything about this intervention. But 4 some of the parents who do this intervention their child is completely indistinguishable & the child is successful in both scenarios per the above video & more: jobs, relationships, competence, education, marriage, wit, & confidence.

By: MzTruthSeerUK. on 11 Apr 08, 10:18:02
ABA spydee has a point your belief in ABA is infectious and it sounds like a miracle to parents who are desparately trying to understand and help their child be "normal" Problem autism is genetic so parents only really need to look to themselves. Parents are twisted into hating the autism in their children that comes from their own genes, how screwed is a system that does that? Your zealous fervour actually scares me, u truley do believe in this, i wouldnt let u near my son - no offence!

These children need love and guidance not forced to perform tasks like trained chimp. I saw the pain this ABA caused my son, hes made better progress by cleansing his system. There may be positive aspects to ABA however this varys with the person who is teaching it is too often abused under the guise of its for his own good!

I would like to put the questin the other way round and have the kids post "what will we do with our parents in the future?" lol - have faith in your son love him hes all you got if you dont believe in him who else will? or what will happen to NT society? things r changing - good luck!

By: ABAisSCIENCE. on 09 Dec 07, 03:08:15
My vote is for logic. I chose to teach individuals that which will help them avoid future abuse. To speak in hypothetical abuse of the treatment when the parents control the choice is silly as that is the parents job and I suspect they avoid abuse for their children. I know as an uncle I did. Yet Spydyee would ask, "Did you ask your nephew if he wanted to verbally communicate?" as if I was suppose to let him not learn to talk rather than be in honors third grade.

By: ABAisSCIENCE. on 09 Dec 07, 00:59:05
Anyone can be mistreated. Something is causing children to sit longer in chairs in elementary school & it is likely contingencies in the environment. We all change due to contingencies, but they can either be changes for good or for bad.

By: ABAisSCIENCE. on 09 Dec 07, 00:58:31
Many disabled people are abused or mistreated due to the people who care for them being evil or not knowing how to treat them. If you teach them to communicate that is not enough to ensure their safety, but if they are indistinguishable they have a better chance. MORE

By: ABAisSCIENCE. on 08 Dec 07, 17:03:50
So you think parents who want to teach their children skills are "callous." If kids are not learning then people should want to do something for them such that they learn. This is the response of one who loves their children. Probably why you turned to TEACCH.

By: Spydyee. on 08 Dec 07, 07:11:08
I never called them rude. I called them callous and "holier-than thou" because they think they know what is best for everyone because their way is the only right way.

By: ABAisSCIENCE. on 08 Dec 07, 06:11:46
Well, you see you think behaviorists are rude to parents and yet you are rude to people who chose ABA for their child. Very similar. Parents chose behaviors to teach based on behaviors not being learned if they are smart and behaviors to reduce if they are not quite as smart, but either way they chose targets to benefit the child in their development.

Please explain to ...
By: Spydyee. on 08 Dec 07, 04:19:44
Please explain to me what gives you the right to decide what behaviors that child needs to stop doing? The only ABA person that ever came within a thousand feet of my child wanted to stop his light switch flipping as her first task. You see ABAisSCIENCE I was once uneducated enough to explore ABA too. When she said that we would "target" that behavior I "targeted" her for immediate removal from my home. I learned quickly VERY VERY quickly.

By: aspie101. on 06 Nov 08, 05:40:56
Jim Carrey and Jenny MacCarthy's child has autism and Jim doesn't believe that mercury causes autism. Many great minds have demonstrated autistic traits and they lived long before vaccinations took place. The main problem is telling an autistic adult from an autistic child. I'm autistic and many of the symptoms present in childhood have diluded to a point that it is hard to tell that I am autistic.

These scientists refuse to study the unvaccinated for rates of autism... they are hiding scientific malfeasance at the CDC and NIH as their greedy bedpartners in big pharma get more and more revenue off dozens of "necessary" vaccines.Simple GREED. Enough is enough!!!!

By: leitermann. on 10 May 08, 14:31:20
Thimerisol is still in many (I believe most actually) vaccines. If you're going to get a vaccination for yourself or a loved one, ask to see the packaging, which should show a list of ingredients. Chances are thimerisol will be one of them. The reason I say to ask for the packaging is that I don't think most doctors & nurses realize that Thimerisol is still used in their vaccines, so if you were to ask, they'd most likely tell you that it's not.

There are very few 'universal poisons' such as Thimerosal, refined sugar, and Pesticides. So every individual needs to be muscle tested individually to assess how much damage he/she has received from chemical exposure.

Nobody's saying that autism means they have to be violent, but there have been studies that show that it raises that possibility more than in normal people. I know someone whose child is autistic, violent, 7 years old, and has an IQ of 60. This is very real, he killed the dog and attacks the other children with scissors at school. But that is not to say that all autistic kids have violent tendencies. Society needs to help the parents more. The system doesn't really work too well.

I think that because autistic people are made fun of ten times as much as neurotypicals, that it is remarkable the crime rate is relatively equal between neurotypicals and asperger kids. I think this could demonstrate possibly that autistic kids are less likely to be provoked into violence because they are probably used to being made fun of their whole life.

Probably any increase in violence in autistics (which I won't flat out deny without data to support) would have something to do with the way we are constantly ridiculed and/or locked up in institutions; this has a very damaging effect psychologically.

They found out Cho ...
By: AuRatio. on 17 Dec 07, 01:59:23
They found out Cho wasn't autistic, I think. Also, the whole empathy/Theory of mind deficits that are in autism are often in the literature oversimplified. For instance, I fail the Sally-Anne test, but I can look at how someone's background will influence their perspectives. I have often been accused of being cold and uncaring because I wasn't using the expected body language to show it.

Thank you so much for this video. My child was 2 when our daughter was born. He tried to strangle her to death multiple times, broke her arm at 18 months old, and often told me "Just kill her Mommy". He is diagnosed Aspergers, diagnosed by age 2, and is not 6. I think it is important for parents to recognize the need for ange management techniques fo our kids.

By: 50oldschool44. on 06 Oct 07, 12:07:55
intretingly, they have recently revised cho's history and now say he had selective mutism. The media evenprovided "experts" to say that selective mutism is not related to autism. However if one understands what autism is, there is definately a relationship between the two. Selective mutism should be seen as one possible symptom of ASD.

I would argue that the comment about Jesus being burned alive was true, but I have no idea about the digging his grave or having his throat slit part. 33 dead as I count cho as a victim. Well if not the only one and it was on the popes birthday and Jesus was said to of lived for 33 years. Why do you portray normal people as caring when that is so untrue in most cases?

By: sure01. on 23 Sep 07, 03:34:46
People were shocked and tried to find a reason why the kid killed. Autism don't make it easy to sociolise and express ourselves. The anger grew in his chest and he just decided to express that anger. He wanted to be a writer and the teacher/students destroyed his pride. Autism did not help him get rid of the anger but kepts it inside... however deciding to kill is not a symptom of autism. Having access to guns can drive anybody to commit those acts because it gives power and confidence.

I looked up the NIMH clinical study. I've found two studies and also looked at the scales used like the "real life" scale.

Tony, where are you??? I think you hit the nail on the head with this one. Of course, I think you are referring to Asperger's or so called "higher" functioning individuals. Personally, I don't believe a difference that adds a strength and a weakness should NOT be viewed as a disability. It should be viewed as a difference. Being good at one or more things is an advantage to being average at everything. The critical factor is that the person must be functional at their weakness.

Things that have a possible truth become absolute(poor logic). then I noticed that they have little control over their extreme states of mind. A difficult break up in a relationship can cause such an extreme mind state in any person or PTSD is one. Often there is a certain social masochism. A schizophrenic is their own worst enemy.

Your child, all childrn are treasure they speak a lang even if the translation requires a rosetta stone. You have all the power to be that stone, maybe you already know that. & u only need to hear it again

I know I am right. Her public disapproval was her way of showing the world that she was not interested in the forbidden fruit that she so desperately wanted to taste. That moment was a glimpse into her inner soul. She shared with you how she really felt. It was yours to act on or not. I think she respected your relationship and took it as far as her personal values would allow.

Your'e right. I hadn't looked at it this way. The disaproval was the socially correct stance, especially to her friend, my wife. The kiss was the reality. Thanks!

I should add that the window of opportunity is fleeting. It could be 5 seconds or 5 months, but once it is gone; it is gone. you can't get it back. You are a good man.

Tony, the veneer is thin. I just think you've got in backwards. Her disapproval is the illusion. Think back to your childhood. Often when you really liked someone, you tried to convince everyone that you did not care. It is a self protection mechanism to prevent from being hurt, from being rejected. You, my friend, are the forbidden fruit. A lick. You were closer to the bite than you admit. Tell me I am wrong.

Your'e right of course. I'm wishing for something that can not happen, for the reasons you say. In marriage, you are beyond the secret kiss.

...you can't 'secret kiss' with your wife...she knows all....as you do of her....no need for secrets.....it's deeper than that between you and your wife because of all the experiences that you've shared together...that's the beauty of it...no need for a 'secret kiss' with her.....

Thanks for commenting. I was wonderiing if anyone else had had this happen. Now I know I'm not just imagining things. In your case, you deserved the kiss. What a great way to express her appreciation!

Ah, the secret kiss. Had one with my best friend a little while ago. Her mom died, and I suppose I was the one who was there for her. After the pain started to diminish a bit for her a bit, she kind of snuck a secret kiss in there. Wasn't long or romantic or anything. I'm pretty sure she was just saying that she appreciated having me as a friend and was thankful I was there for her. Probably more meaningful than any of those other "big deal" kisses I've had.
