Baby watch & Early intervention

I have heard a lot of misconceptions about autism. I have hard some that are um.............out there, like:

• autism can come on later in life, like cancer.
  
• Then the popular misconception that autism is cause by the MMR shots.
  

The disorder is indeed genetic.

The questions is, how do we know that a child has autism? As a parent you can do what is called "Baby watch." This is easy enough and you can do this watch when the new born is about 3 day's old. What you do is you watch your new born while you are talking to him or her. If your new born can focus on your face/eyes then that is a good indication that the child in question is autism free. If the child cannot focus on your face/eyes, then I would recommend to have the child tested.

Not only test for the disorder but also test for an allergy to gluten and calcium. The reason why is autism is now overly diagnose. If the child in question has an allergy to gluten and calcium then the child will exhibit systems as if it were autism, if the allergy is consume. How this happens is that the allergy creates an chemical reaction within the body, as a result it will make the child appear as if he or she has autism. If the child is allergic to gluten and calcium then of course take it out of the diet.

Autism is on the rise. The question is why? With in the past "experts" thought that the disorder was caused because the person is overly sexed. So the "experts" would castrate them if they were male. If female they would just give a full hysterectomy, then put both the male and the female into locked separate cages. Or they would be killed.

In France back about 250 years ago they have found a girl who they called the chicken girl. This girl was locked up within the same cage as the chickens. She acted just like the chickens who she was around night and day. Now remember this event was before they have found out what autism was; there was not a diagnose if this girl had autism or not. But today as doctors and sociologist have studied this "chicken girl's" case the more they are convinced she had autism. She is the classic example of what people would do if their child who had autism.

The reason for this to happen is that people did not know what autism was. They didn't understand how to help their child. They may have thought that they were consumed by the devil. So the distraught parents did what they thought was best. They would put them into institutes, where they would be abused unto the point of death. Or they would just be locked up in cages after the doctors would perform the surgeries. When this was done the gene pool of the disorder was somewhat contained.

So how can a parent help their child who has autism? There are schools for autistic children. The sad thing is that some parents cannot afford the $28,000 or more a year to put their child in school, every year. So some parents have been thinking out side the box; so they can effectively help their child. One possible solution is parents, caregivers, and teachers needs to be trained to teach a child who has autism. What it is, how it is came to be, how to create a successful routine. The teachers in public schools will know how to reach and teach the child successfully. So the abuse of the child in schools will stop, so will the accidental death.

If there is any other solution that you can think of please let me or Jeremy Robb know at his blog. We are open to ideas.

Cheers Everyone!!!
