So maybe it had to do with finding myself driving through a most unexpected (in New Jersey) October snowfall to take Charlie to a medical appointment (the dentist, to be more precise) on a cold mid-afternoon on Tuesday—-but as I glanced at him in the rear view mirror, a strong sense of déja-vu came into [...]

So thimerosal’s not the “‘smoking gun‘” linking vaccines to autism, according to David Kirby, whose 2005 book, Evidence of Harm: Mercury in Vaccines and the Autism Epidemic: A Medical Controversy argued that thimerosal—-a mercury-based preservative—-was the culprit behind what he calls the “autism epidemic.” From an article in today’s Star-Ledger (New Jersey) about an October 23rd [...]

A $3 million civil rights lawsuit has been filed against the Knox County School District concerned the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl with Asperger’s Syndrome by an alleged sex offender who, according to today’s Knox County News, had been deemed “too dangerous” by his court-appointed guardian to be unsupervised. The 18-year-old boy “was being [...]
For the past two weeks something’s been up with Charlie’s teeth, or so we think. He’s been chewing the string on his sweatshirt and his shirt and poking a finger into his mouth (on the upper right side, I think) and just dabbing at some parts of his teeth with his toothbrush (still brushing the [...]

The “special diet” = the gluten-free casein-free diet — has been touted as an alternative treatment for autism for as long as Charlie’s been diagnosed with autism. I still have a rather battered copy of Lisa Lewis’ Special Diets for Special Kids on top of the refrigerator. Ever since we put Charlie on the diet [...]
