I was just reading reviews for Jenny McCarthy's autism book...I think I'll see if I can borrow it from the library before I decide to buy it. And as far as the Chicago conference, I want to see what they offer in they way of educational sessions, in addition to the biomedical ones. I'm looking for a balanced approach to autism treatment, and move away from the extremists at both ends.

Jen....you're so good at this.
I mean, you have such a positive approach to handling things.
I really admire you.

Sounds like a plan Jenn - I think you'll pick up some good ideas at the conference as long as you keep them in the context of every child being different.

That sounds like a good plan. I bet her book is really interesting.

Well, you have one side that says there's no proof of any help with things like special diets, supplements, vaccine damage, and calls those who promote such things as irresponsible and witch doctors, then you have the biomedical side who says children can be 'cured' and if you don't try the abovementioned things you have given up on your children and whine about the fact they're autistic...:brick::brick::brick:
I want to meet in the middle of those mindsets...a lot of our children have immune issues, but there is much to be gained by educational support and the right attitude toward our kids. I just feel like my head is pulled in two directions.
I told Mike I will try to borrow that book, but maybe I won't be so quick to head to the Chicago conference. Autism Society of America's national conference is in Florida in July. I have up to now taken a break from research because my brain is overcrowding with info (I would love a pensieve right now :rolleyes: :lol:), but I must get back to research. Maybe then I can make a decision on where I want to go. I do want to attend at least one conference this year. :shrug:

Hey Dottie :kiss:

How's it going, Sweets?
I started painted today, finally.
Finished only the hallway, but considering it has 5 doors in it, including two sets of vented bi-folds, that's not too bad.
How's the settling in going?
