Defending the mothers of Autism/ / Was Re: scd and putting on muscle

[Guest guest]

trying to get me to not say certain things won't change realities.

theres not much point in arguing this stuff and we both have plenty

to do so why not leave it and let some time roll by and see how what

i say tallies with observation

there are very few parents on these boards who are not to some

signficant degree on spectrum and without toxic issues

it is so important for the parents to address these issues with

themsleves or they are unable to help thier children sufficently

i have said it before that when i get a sorta concerted parental

opposition to what i say, its they need me to to be wrong, not that i

am actually wrong and long and persistent bringing up of the topic

again is more indicative of their issues than mine

the root issue is parental toxicity and various malnutritions, if the

brain is feisty and flexible it will be up with me and able to follow

what is being said in an adaptive positive way

start by being a bit more open about your own issues and what can be

done to help
