It seems to me that a big part of the problem here is how autism is defined and from who's perspective. So far all we've heard is the mother's side of the story, and the DSM seems to place alot of emphasis on behaviors in terms of how they are viewed by people outside the autistic person and not en...

Over the past 7 months to a year as I have become increasingly physically ill with a new health problem I've been victimized by a major healthcare corporation here in Georgia and they destroyed all my doctor/patient relationships, I was physically abused by an on-call neurologist in the ER after I c...
