No Shortcuts to Autism Recovery: Do the Work#android#iPad#retweet
~ Zorro
I’m going to piss off a few moms. Sorry. Bear with me, please. I’m doing this with love and 13+ years of experience. LOADS of love, including tough love.
Last month I was invited to speak at a local autism summit where there was a nice mix of education, technology, and biomedical topics covered. I was up last and I spent about 30 minutes going over what we did, what worked, what didn’t work . . . basically, the foundation of my son’s recovery from autism.
And it was work. My son worked, I worked, my husband worked.
After my talk, I had a couple of moms contact me to ask me questions, go over their children’s stories. I’ve given a few of these talks and find that the questions and the comments all seem to circle back to one thing:
Did the biomedical interventions really work, or would my son have recovered anyway?
Oh for heaven’s sake. Really?
Yes, really.
I’m going to be crystal clear:
My son would NOT have recovered without the biomedical intervention and support…
