Please, just for once, would you and Joan (Ruth), put aside your spiteful, personal and vindictive campaign......and THAT is what this thread is about...helping others.

I just love the arrogance with which you - having done some searching on the internet assume the role of guide and mentor to people who have lived with autistic people all their life.

It isn't about helping others Lizzie - they know fine all this stuff. Certainly they could find it (and more) as easily as you can. They probably spend a lot of time searching for it.

Do you ever go past the first internet link you come to?

Did you get to the second quote on that thread?

THEN...it gets REALLY interesting! This is the first comment left on Dr. Sanjay's page...

And this is the second quote left on that page:

"This type of video does nothing for those who have not experienced much time with different children and adults with Autism spectrum disorders. It creates a false conception that all autistic children and adults are capable forming the complex sentences and thoughts that Amanda does in the video. It also gives people the impression that all people with Autism are merely trapped, but you can solve their communication defecits by slapping a keyboard in their hands. This creates false hopes and unrealistic expectations for parents and loved ones".

Now tell us all Lizzie - why didn't you post that bit? Perhaps because it didn't agree with what you said?
