was: Parasites during chelation now: itchin bum is not autistic behavior vent

May 21, 2008

Not to laugh here, but I can't beleive someone would think something

so ignorant..that bum scratching was an " autistic behavior " . If that's

the case there are a lot of old men in this country who need to be

checked for autism..running around diggin themselves and scratching

and adjusting...what is that?

In fact we had a discussion on bum scratching, itching in our house a

few months ago. I had a certain adult (um,dh in fact, but I didn't

tell you guys this) that came to me and asked why ones bum would itch

like crazy all the time. I said..ahh..the yeast monsters got ya!

Remedies were handed out, itching was gone. Walah..miracle medicine

woman is on the job! He's a happy man now. But he's not autistic and

you all know darn well, you be scratching if it be itching. Just that

we are adults and we are discreet. Children are not.

Sorry, it just baffles me how ridiculous the general public can be in

lacking knowledge, especially a therapist who claims to specialize in

autistic children. So she chooses to generalize that they all itch

their bum because it's part of their brain function!!??? It never

ocurrs to this lady that maybe, just maybe it could be something else.

Like one did not wipe properly, or one has yeast, or one has food

allergies..or maybe..yes..one has pinworms. Which are actually more

common in childhood that most would like to think.

Congrats to you mom for determining what was going on and

" enlightening " this therapist. For the love of pete, what has this

world turned into that we overlook ever medical problem as a

" ingrained part of ones personality " . Eek...

ok vent over...
