There are literally hundreds of interventions for autism, although the vast

majority of these lack any scientific support. Unfortunately, eclectic

approaches that are not grounded in science prevail in many public schools.

Fringe treatments are afforded widespread media coverage, and the internet is

filled with misinformation and unsubstantiated claims. This full day workshop

will provide a step-by-step approach to understanding not only what it means for

an intervention to be science-based but which of the currently available

treatments enjoy existing scientific support. Important considerations for

choosing interventions will be highlighted, along with strategies for evaluating

outcomes. This workshop is open to professionals, parents, and students;

however, we ask that attendees respect our belief that science and scientific

methods are not only relevant to discussions of autism treatment but should

serve as the foundation upon which treatments should be chosen, implemented, and

evaluated.

If they stopped changing the vaccine schedule and ingredients, we would have

figured out what causes each problem and what works by now. As it is, they keep

changing things and we have kids of all different ages who have all different

vaccinations and schedules and exposures, it's hard to sort it all out.

I believe something was very wrong with the vaccines or schedule for 2002-2004,

I know a lot of kids who were damaged very badly from whatever concoction they

received as infants/toddlers during that time frame. Perhaps it was leftover

thimerosal mixed with extra aluminum.

Do you notice a lot of the older kids (10 and up) have learning problems,

auditory processing disorder, tics?

Do you notice a big increase in speech disorders in the 5-10 year olds?

What about feeding problems and reflux in the 5 and under group?

I know the problems I mentioned are spread throughout the age groups, but this

is my observation of related problems and age groups.

I think as much as possible, people need to try to find parents with kids

similar to theirs in age and symptoms and share ideas. This has been very

helpful for me (and I have been able to help some others).

I hate the words " science based " anymore, to me they just mean that Pharma faked

a study and everyone should bow down to the results.
