I saw Dr Kartzinel on Larry King and he seems very well spoken and made a lot of sense, even if you disagree with his treatments/theories. He spoke in measured and qualified terms without making any extreme statements. From the comments here and on other blogs, it just shows that you can take anything out of context. He’s the father of an autistic spectrum child and people here are vilifying him.

If only people would focus on the ‘this wouldn’t work for everyone’ comment.

Mark
I agree with you. I was quoting from a DAN guide for parents that Temple co-authored. Regarding the link:

“Having just met Jenny in person at the recent Whole Child Whole Planet Expo in Los Angeles, we can attest to her utmost sincerity to use her celebrity to spread the message. What impresses us even more is that, in addition to being an absolutely delightful, warm, funny, dedicated lady, Jenny is putting her money where her mouth is by starting up a website especially for Indigo Moms.”

Jenny McCarthy seems no longer interested in indigo moms and crystal children. The Indogo Moms website she set up has been closed down. I think that with McCarthy it is more a case of putting her mouth where the money is.

I don’t agree with you on the Temple Grandin issue about antidepressants (biomed). I do agree with Temple that antidepressants help adults, including Aspies, with anxiety disorders and depression. They can be dangerous for kids, though. This is widely accepted in the medical industry.

Thanks for the link Mike.

I don’t know much about Stephen Shore, but there’s an article by him in the ‘Autism File’ magazine I mentioned on my blog. It’s called ‘Mixed Marriage’ and is about the NT/autie and Chinese born/US citizen contrasts between his wife and himself. The article is OK, but again by agreeing to write for such a biomed based magazine, he’s giving implicit support to their ethos. He has also, they say, agreed to write for them regularly.

Right on. It is so disappointing that these are the loudest voices and the ones that people hear as “the autism community.”
