Re: re: expert witnesses

[Guest guest]

is now clawing the flesh from her own face and purposely vomitting 5

times a day. All she wants is to go home and what many people do not

comprehend is the fact autism is also a spiritual affliction where most of

those children cannot comprehend facets of love, i.e. respect, reverence,

empathy, compassion, sympathy and adoration as well as patience.

's parents are asking that she be seen by a credible doctor who knows

about Candida albicans (at least) and they have been refused.

I say this has become a civil rights issue. When is an individual deprived

of proper medical care? How do we know actually has autism? Did

Helen Keller also have autism?

The attorney says she needs some expert witnesses and somehow I have to go

to land now with Bernie Windham's websites printed and as much

information as I can find so I can educate a neurologist who is going to be

unhappy that I've tricked him into having to go to an institution to see the

actual patient and who is going to hate me later when he is subpoenaed.

In the meantime she's fed cheese and macaroni and has taken towards bulimia.

I can hardly stand it. The parents are somehow comforted by my voice on the

telephone and I have tried to explain that I want access to because

I have a special affinity with problem children, but the institution has now

cut the Chang's access to and somehow they have been told that if

they do not sign a paper that entitles the institution to try to use

behaviour modification for the next two years to see if they can control

, the Changs are somehow going to lose their parental rights.

Additionally the child is now legally considered " high risk " and now the

parents are somehow not entitled to learn of all incidents (or any now)

wherein harms herself.

I think everyone has gone insane in land and shame on 's attorney

for having her own autistic child on a gluten-free diet while allowing the

institution to feed nothing but cheese and macaroni.

Minc , aghast at this entire situation
