1. Wonderful show! Catch it when it repeats.
Edited on Wed Mar-21-07 09:17 PM by monarch
I have started watching the teevee again and I switched to CNN tonight after Keith. Would not have chosen Larry King but the show grabbed my attention. I had no idea that autism now affects one in 94 male babies? Why aren't we treating it like the epidemic it is?

2. Because those with money can hire people to help their kids
I case the rest of us have to try to muddle through on our own. The celebs on the show had there kids diagnosis as toddlers. My son's were 8 and 12, and not because I didn't try. The doctors kept telling me the boys were fine. When they were finally diagnosed after several months of OT the insurance company decided they didn't need it anymore - they even tried to make us repay the preapproved sessions the boys had.

3. Fascist governments consider be'n 'infirm' or poor a Vice. having Aspergers in a family line can
result in congenital Poverty.. Fascists consider us "worthless eaters" as hitler put it.

they create poverty them blame it on the poor, and deny them a way out, fascist societies do not have any class mobility.. they need a lot of prison and soldier classes
