Sorry, I stopped watching after a couple of minutes because I couldn't connect

or agree with anything that he was saying.  Is this you or someone you know?

I agree . This video seemed so irrelevant to my life.

I'm so proud of the efforts my daughter makes, even if to others they

seem so small.

I couldn't give a toss what others might or might not think. I haven't

got time for that crap, worrying what others might say or think.

Phil.... you obviously like making videos.

I think your time would be well spent doing a " " type thing

and chasing down guys like Offit and asking him how much money he's

making from poisoning people and babies.

Now that's something I really want to watch!

hi this is me...i made the video and posted it. you really should

have watched it till the end though...i understand that its hard to

hear a lot of what i'm saying...i really do. My son lost just about

all of his speech by the age of 4 and was totally in his own world.

Life was black. But now he is what many people would call

recovered...biomedical intervention, RDI, and understanding got me

here...so this is what I show on youtube and the understanding part

is what this video was/is about.

give it another shot or watch my video " face of recovery " .

either way, thanks for your feedback!

Hi Pete,

I think you might have misinterpreted the video and me...i live for

the small changes in my son...live for them.

I actually don't like to make videos and really don't want to be

bothered with it anymore...I am being totally honest.

But I cant leave other parents out there in the dark...cant do it.

Watch the video to the end if you can...then watch the next one...see

where im going with this ok?

give it a shot!

if not, well...then i do appreciate your feedback.

Hi Phil,

I'll always listen to what you have to say, even if I don't agree with

it, because I think your intentions are always good, and I respect the

fact you are trying to help people through what can be a very dark time

in their lives.

I am extremely happy for your son and his recovery; you obviously did the right

things.  The problem I have is your generalization of parents with children that

have autism.  Personally, it has been those outspoken parents who are not

ashamed that have helped me.  I used to think that some people I met in person

were ashamed of their children but I was wrong.  In most cases they were tired

of the NT being intrusive.

 

My 2 cents.....

I can totally relate to what he is saying, although I am not embarrassed for

myself, but for ds.

Ds has just started pre kinder and this is a totally different environment to

his special needs school he has been attending(us parents there are all in the

same boat). It's things like him not wanting to do the same things as the other

kids and just wandering around the classroom that get me teary because it's in

that environment that feelings really kick in and these are not feelings of

embarassment, but feelings of HEARTBREAK for my child.

Ds was offered a sticker at the wildlife park yesterday, but he didn't even

realise that she was talking to him. She asked him again and I realised I just

had to tell her that he has autism and didn't like stickers..she gave me the

funniest look, as if she didn't know what autism is and thought it strange that

a 4y/o wouldn't want a sticker..thing is, as I was telling her that he has

autism, I couldn't look her in the eye. I just didn't have it in me to stand

there and explain about autism to a stranger, who has no idea about autism.

Donna.

i appreciate your 2 cents...i really do.

but i do think i state very clearly that not all parents feel this

way. I do generalize (no doubt) but i did try and throw in that

disclaimer too.

And one other point i would like to make is that i feel there is a

big difference in being ashamed of your kid and being ashamed of

having an autistic child. I think the number of parents who are

ashamed of their kids is very small and those kids probably would

have made them ashamed even if they werent autistic...the problem is

with the parents view of children, not autism.

i do appreciate your feedback though!

I've seen Philcommander's videos on youtube. I think he's knowledgeable and he

knows his biomedical stuff. He simplifies things and most of all, he and his son

inspire me and my hubby to always be on the lookout for other biomedical

interventions that might help my son. Watch the videos with an open mind and you

can only learn from it.
