Wrong again, as usual. Perhaps you could get some experience in child psychiatry before spouting off about it from your armchair. There are plenty of children who, when all is said and done, are found simply not to be very smart but who do not have any psychiatric disorder otherwise. Of course there are! (That was my point, PF. I was being sarcastic.) I have a few children in my practice to whose parents I would really like to say, "While I appreciate your perseverance in attempting to obtain a different diagnosis for your child, I must tell you that he really does not have autism or Asperger's disorder. The fact is: He's just a dummy. And I can't fix that." Hahaha! (Not being sarcastic.) There've been plenty of times I've wanted to say similar stuff to the parents of some of the kids with whom I've worked, particularly the mother of one neat kid who's utterly charming but has no interest in, and little ability, when it comes to schoolwork (any subject). She KNOWS (well, I think she knows) he has some pretty serious problems (not the least of which is regularly falling asleep in class), but she's bound and determined that he go to college (with a full-time aide/"assistant" provided by the college) for "the experience."

Your Help is Desperatly Needed to Stop Lead Poisoning in Children!
Hello MY Name is Shelly, I'm writing this message in the hope of getting signatures/names for my crusade against Lead Poisoning in Children. My 4 Children ( Brandon 5, Marissah 4, Thomas 22 mos., and Jacob 6 mos.) were tested positive for lead poisoning! upon testing of my appartment, we found that there were high levels of Lead!.... Each night as i layed my children down to sleep in their beds,i would watch them kneel at the side of their beds to say their prayers,I would kiss them goodnightand tuck them saftly into their beds so i thought. Little did i Know that their rooms were where i left them each night to sleep was loaded with lead! The one place i thought they were safe and sound, Poisoned them! My babies, My Sweet, innocent babies...I called everywhere i could think to solve this matter, i even called my local Health Department. They informed me that unless my childrens lead levels reach the dangerous level of 20 or above they could not help me! i was so upset, i felt that no one cared about the safty of my children but myself! SO I made a vow to my children that i would fight the lagal system to have the lead levels reduced.... Knowing that if i waited till their lead levels reached 20 they would already be suffering for the lead nad could experience learning disabilities, Brain Damage and even Death in some cases! I need to help my children and other Children! and your help can put us one step closer to doing this! below in an email address you can respond to, simply drop me a quick email and tell me to put your name on the list! Please also provide your email, the city and State you live in. by signing this petition we can get these lead levels lowered! PLEASE WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! Signed, Shelly In New York |
