I think they're freaking out because their offspring are unresponsive to them, are encased in emotional shells and the parents have no way reaching them. When the numbers are increasing at this rate - culprits are being sought, answers are being demanded and headlines are making waves. Is it WIFI? Is it mercury? Is it karma? What in the world is sealing off the children?
lol. A reporter would say just that.
This is 40/40, coming live from the looney bin, downtown, nowheresville, with your host, jjstar.

I'd also like to know your opinion about why talk shows are excluding all guests during their screening who have something nice to say about autism.
Then we need our own talk show!
Hosted by Alex! We can decide who the guests will be!Goche21 wrote:
I believe that this is just because autism is the 'it' desease of this decade. Last decade it was ADHD, and next decade itll be something else. Parents always look for why their kid is different, and wont take 'it's normal for kids to be different' as an answer. Adults look for the reason why they were not socially accepted.
People who only fit one or two symptoms are rushing into the diagnosis. This is what happened to me, a neighbor said I had it, so my mom instantly clung to that diagnosis. ((granted this naighor had two autistic kids, and was a special ED teacher, but she was not a phyciatrist))
The only symptoms I display are social akwardness ((which appeared after my sexual abuse)), and some obssesivness ((which I learned from my very obsessive mom)). These are it, I don't stem, and don't have any sensory issues, and developmentally I was on track as a child. I don't see why I was diagnosed, after coming here t's obvious I'm an NT.

Thank you for sharing that story, Goche21. You would make a good guest on our show.
Your sarcasm is greatly appreciated.
I didn't mean just me, look at how many people on here only fit one or criterias, but are jumping to this conclusion without exploring other options. In order to fit in a diagnosis you need at least a majority of the symptoms. Phycology is the only field where a perso can have one symptom out of twenty and still be diagnosed the disorder!
What sarcasm?
I'm just saying it would be useful to have someone like you explain how people can get caught up in a possible diagnosis without fully understanding the symptoms. Sort of a myth-busting segment for the show.
