The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

did u guys knw there is going to be a tv show starting about autism/immunizations? they will have a disclaimer ad run before the show.for legal reasons. i know it will get shut down. praying it is seen. u have to see the promo.
Ur right in one point, AS is not curable but with Autism u can stop it by doing early prevention, the earlier the better.
Okay, let's get the facts here straight. This was done by a doctor who had no clue what he was doing, and yes, IV chelation can be very dangerous. Your trying to rid the body of this crap in just a short time and they redistribute the toxins and mercury and yes, it can make one worse. That's why I say, read Cutler's work, do your research. Cutler is a PH.D chemist, and knows chelation should be done slowly, and knows how to get the mercury from the brain, which is very important.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelation_therapy#Side_effects_and_safety_concerns
I suggest everyone read this link before resorting to chelation.
My son was not damaged by a vaccine. He has always been this way.
Quite honestly, I am getting tired of hearing that he needs to be cured from some horrible affliction. He would not be the same child if he wasn't on the spectrum, and he is a great kid.
Different is not the same as broken.
That was the point I was about to make, but you saved me valuable keystrokes. Thank you.
And also something else to think on: despite the hardships that come with Autism Spectrum Disorders, wouldn't it be safe to say, with this being a Christian form, that maybe God made us this way (by that I mean having an Autism Spectrum Disorder) for a reasons? Maybe to fulfill some duty, purpose, or goal He might have for us? Wouldn't trying to "cure" that part of you be like saying "Oh, hey, I don't like this part of me God gave me, regardless as to what He has planned, so I'm gonna get rid of it so life will be easier for me."? (This can be modified for those who have kids with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.)
Also, someone please define "normal" for me, because the last time I checked, there's no laundry list of norms and rules and values that would classify someone as "normal". It's an illusion society made so that there's conformity and no outside-the-box thinking. Even if someone did find a "cure" for Autism Disorders, it doesn't mean they'll be "normal" or they'll fit in. People and society will always find something imperfect about you to further criticize, isolate, and discriminate you.
God, though, loves everyone for who they are. He doesn't want them "cured" or to "fit in". No. He wants us to be happy and to be ourselves. He loves everyone, even those who aren't loved. I think we should all remember this before going on some crusade to "cure" things we think that are illnesses when really Autism Disorders are just a different way of thinking.
Just my $0.02 on this matter. But hey, if you wanna kill yourself and/or your kid with chelation therapy, there's nothing I can do to stop you or anyone else. Even if you and/or your kid is "cured" and there's no death, in a sense, according to my observations, you're still killing a part of yourself that God put in you. Something to think about.
You say mercury poisoned, and I say genetics. Have you never heard of broader autism phenotypes? I can look at the neurotypical members of my own family and see tiny bits of my son.
He has always been different. There was no regression. He even seemed different when I was pregnant with him.
... and he is perfectly fine the way God made him.
Good point about the chelation saftey measurements for ppl to get rid of AS AdmanSmith. I just wonder if I got AS through a NZ sick vaccine, it could have a metal. I have got two mercury fillings in my mouth and it could b that too.
