Your child is counting on you!

If your child had cancer you would try chemo, right?
If your child broke their arm you would make sure it was set correctly and casted so it could heal properly, right?
If your child had allergies you would try to avoid things they were allergic to, and incorporate antihistamines, right?

Now.... If your child has autism why wouldn't one try the bio -medical approach? Please do not feel I am knocking anyone because that is not my intention. My intention is to grasp why someone would do all the above for their child but wouldn't try the only thing that has helped some children recover from autism. Not every child recovers, but then again not every child will be cancer free after chemo, and not everyone that takes an antihistamine will never have their allergies flare up again. Doctors can offer, speech, and ABA they can offer so may things that can help your child but, they can't offer one single thing that says this may help your child recover and they may never show signs of autism any longer......
Now everyone has a different belief system and I can fully respect that... what I can't respect is the fact that people choose not to take the only glimmer of hope with out all the facts. If you research and study and learn that this isn't something for you then that is fine, but to make a life altering decision without knowing all the facts seems like a cop-out to me.... This is your child, putting a band-aide on the problem doesn't seem reasonable to me...........
Knowledge is power, please empower your self! Your child is counting on you to know all the facts before making a choice!!!!!
