Re: DS-ASD dual dx rate 18.2%!!!

Hi ShirleyThere is some truth to this of course but more awareness and diagnosis doesn’t fully account for the epidemic surge in numbers. Bock’s book “Healing the New Childhood Epidemics” (Autism, Allergies, Asthma, ADHD) is an excellent discussion that pertains to our kids with DS and other issues as well. These types of numbers are not confined to the Autism world. http://www.amazon.com/Healing-New-Childhood-Epidemics-Groundbreaking/dp/0345494512/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1 PS. how have you been???Sherry Posted by: " cshos " cshos@... cshost2003Date: Thu Apr 5, 2012 7:27 pm ((PDT)) I wondered if the recent upsurge in dual diagnosis (ds and autism) might be we are receiving a more accurate diagnosis because of greater Autism awareness.

Thanks. We are fine. Josiah is doing well. I'm covered up and always behind in what I need to be getting done....paperwork, etc. Hope you are well!

Thanks for the article. The epidemic of Autism is getting to be well known. So very sad to see so many children now affected by it.
