So, you cure autism by way of proper diet and vitamins. Wouldn't it then make more sense to suspect improper diet and general malnutrition as the cause? Or hell, perhaps even suspect that malnutrition was the true ailment?

i'm guessing that most of her life she got by on her looks, then she made a bunch of money off of that, then one day she was sitting around and had a unique thought, which made her think she was smart, and now she is trying to perceive the world through the eyes of someone who was taught not to perceive anything because their beauty would take care of everything and as a result, tunnel vision logic causes her to make false connections between things + her celebrity allows her to broadcast it to the world.

99% of kids get vaccinations but only 1 in 110 kids have autism, therefore vaccination cause autism? Okay.

McCarthy wrote that he was gifted, a "crystal child", and she an "indigo mom".

Quote
Indigo children is a pseudoscientific label given to children who are claimed to possess special, unusual and/or supernatural traits or abilities.

Quote
The Indigo and Crystal Adults are composed of two groups. Firstly, there are those who were born as Indigos and are now making the transition to Crystal. This means they undergo a spiritual and physical transformation that awakens their "Christ" or "Crystal" consciousness and links them with the Crystal children as part of the evolutionary wave of change. The second group is those who were born without these qualities, but have aquired or are in the process of aquiring them through their own hard work and the diligent following of a spiritual path. Yes, this means that all of us have the potential to be part of the emerging group of "human angels".

The defense rests its case, your honor.

actually, i'm having fun imagining her bringing home her kid after the vaccination and the baby is just acting like a baby while she fools herself into thinking something is horribly wrong.   I bet this happens a lot...

I can see why parents of autistic children cling to this theory as twinge an autistic child is harder than anything most people will ever have to do.   That said the blame for this bullshit needs to fall squarely on the professionals, media, and religious groups that give this any time at all.

i think the people that usually buy into the "vaccines are bad!" tend to be nutjobs with kids that dont have autism.  its something to be paranoid about/lord over other people ("my kids dont have vaccines and they're great!  except they can't go to school and wont be able to work at most jobs").  there certainly are parents out there who live in denial of their kids' disabilities, but most parents end up wanting to actually take care of their kids.

just like john travolta's kid!  oh wait he died in the bathtub cuz his dumbshit parents are scientologists

She probably doesn't want to be known as the chick who got naked in Playboy.  So she takes up a cause so she can be known as the mother with the autistic child rather than the Playboy model turned D-List actress.  Thanks to anti-intellectual outlets like Oprah (the same person who brought us the brilliance of James Frey and The Secret), she was able to make her viewpoints valid to tens of millions of vapid housewives and the unemployed just by being on her show.

The reason why she is on CNN is that they probably figured women would watch it, which means CNN can get ratings so they can get some advertising monies.

My fiance has an autistic son, and he is straight up the kind of autistic you're never going to be able to have a real adult conversation with because it's never going to really click for him. He displays all the ticks and traits, even has a catch phrase he uses all the time out of context ("no offense"). He's a cool kid, 15 but sort of trapped in a 10 year old's mindset, obsessed with pokemon youtube videos and random trivia about everything, no real filter in what he says, mainly communicates in pop culture references.  I'd never really been around anyone with autism before so I didn't really know at first that I couldn't talk to him as I would talk to an average 15 year old, but luckily (?) I am enough of a goddamned nerd that once I realized it's all cartoons and comics and video games and nothing else I was able to adjust accordingly.  He's never been a real problem or hardship to her, he's just forgetful sometimes and gets micromanage-obsessed with trivial things to the point where he'll ignore things like bathing or eating if she doesn't keep on him. 

Her other son is the problem child, bipolar (like, 180 degrees in an instant), aggressive, abusive, and prone to violent outbursts. Also smart enough to know how to work all that shit to his advantage and lord over the rest of the household (everyone walked on eggshells around him and he knew that even the veiled threat of an outburst was enough to get his way - honestly, I think he's sort of a borderline sociopath). She had to drop out of nursing school a few years back to keep watch over him, he's been in the hospital several times for his actions. He's in a treatment center now, though. At the end of the Summer he flipped the fuck out on her when she was punishing him (for throwing a drink in her face and then saying "can't say you didn't ask for that") by turning off his computer, and shoulder-blocked her into the wall hard enough that I heard it outside while I was smoking. I thought it was a door being slammed.  Two feet to the left and they would have both gone through her second-story living room window. It was a hard enough tackle that it gave her a hairline fracture in her arm. I gotta say I wanted to beat that kid's ass pretty badly, the way he smugly sauntered around the house afterwards spouting that same "you brought that on yourself" line while waiting for his dad to pick him up.  He's been in the center since then, where he has threatened to kill staff members, had to be restrained/sedated several times. But, of course, they can't keep him there forever, and since he's "doing good" (aka hasn't been put in an isolation room or had a sedative needle stuck in his ass for a few weeks) they're talking about letting him out at the end of March. Not looking forward to that, as I don't think 6 months of treatment is going to even begin to undo 13+ years of relatively unchecked problem behavior (in addition to the chemical imbalance in his brain, which will never go away and always require ever-changing drug cocktails to keep in check). At first she was adamant about him not coming back to stay with her, that he was going to live with his Dad and only coming for visits, but the longer he stays in there the more her stance softens and it's gone from "never" to "a few days a week." I mean, I sort of understand, he's her kid after all. I just know from past experience with that kind of shit in my own family that there's always going to be the chance of an unexpected violent outburst, and the older and bigger he gets the more dangerous those outbursts will become. It doesn't ever get "fixed." The time between those episodes might grow longer, but that's about it. And when he grows out of his "Aw, poor cute kid he really needs help I feel so sorry for him" phase and moves into the "legal adult who has become a burden to society" phase, then all the legal trouble starts.

So yeah, autism doesn't seem that bad in all in comparison.

I will take repetitive conversations about Pokemon minutiae and running commentary on Ben 10 episodes all day long over the wasps buzzing around in the other kid's brain. Jake (the autistic one) is pretty funny. One day he spent like, an hour trying to get a particular "action pose" just right and asking me which of them I thought was coolest. I tripped him out at dinner one time when I deadpan started saying grace and bowing my head, then asked him if he had accepted our Lord Jesus Christ into his heart and did he want to be saved from being cast into a lake of fire? He totally doesn't get deadpan humor so I had to keep explaining that I wasn't really religious.  I think I am kind of his hero now because I bring the PS3 over all the time and let him play whatever he wants.

Title: Re: Jenny McCarthy the medical guru
Post by: Eel O'Brian on December 11, 2011, 06:38:43 PM
He's been on a lot of different meds. He's on a bunch in that center right now.  Like I said, some of it is the synapses misfiring in his brain, and some of it is his willingness to use that as an excuse/threat for everything else he does. Apparently one of the medications worked okay, but turned him into something of a lobotomy case, which she doesn't want. And part of it was convincing everyone that he was headed in a bad direction. She's been to therapists who laid the blame for everything at her feet, coddled and treated him "special," etc. One thing she told me that I found frankly astonishing is that they would talk with her about how to handle him RIGHT IN FUCKING FRONT OF HIM. That's like a magician practicing his act in front of the audience before the show starts, and of course he learned how every trick worked. Like I said, he's very, very smart, picks up on everything, and knows exactly how to work any bit of knowledge to his advantage. 

I don't know how it is in the rest of the country, but here you can't put anyone in a treatment center until they turn 12. So she tried everything in that last year that she could think of to keep from doing that, until that shoulder block episode. I never offered an opinion on what I saw, it wasn't my place to do that, but I was the only one who told her she made a good call right after she did it. Now EVERYONE, friends and family, are all coming out of the woodwork to offer up opinions and "support" years after the fact.

I'm a fairly accepting guy. Forgive and forget, don't hold grudges, etc. I have, however, made it clear that he gets ONE chance with me. He's had thirteen years of chances with everyone else. I've lived in an abusive household before, not gonna do it again. I'm not gonna walk on eggshells.  I can deal with the autistic kid, he's good-natured and really easy to please, he's no problem at all. I can deal with smartass talk from the 13 year old, too (please, he's thirteen and has no life experience, I could have him in tears within minutes). And if he ever comes at me I can deal with that, too, considering I'm in pretty decent shape for 42 and his physical activities mainly consist of staring at a television while sucking soda straight out of a 2 liter bottle. I'm not worried about me, but I won't let him hurt anyone in that house ever again.  I've told her that if his Dad reneges on wanting to take him in (he will, he's got some woman he's trying to bring over here next year from Thailand or wherever that he wants to marry, and the first time she tries discipline and that tasmanian devil commences snatching handfuls of hair out of her scalp I'd imagine she will issue an ultimatum) that he's welcome until he starts pulling the shit again.  I have also made it clear that if I ever come home and find her lying at the bottom of the stairs or on the floor and he's standing there with that self-satisfied look on his face (she's only 5'2" - he already has a couple of inches and 15 pounds on her), I will treat him as if I'd walked in on a grown man, and all that implies. Now that he has established a public history of aggression and violence (apparently he's left marks on the orderlies in that place, and they record everything he does, they're even required to call her as soon as anything happens) I doubt I would even get into much trouble over it. 

So she knows. She knows she can't handle him full time, too. She has her own physical issues to deal with, and she wants to go back to school and finish up there. I think this softening attitude is mainly because when someone (even a little asshole rageaholic) isn't around for a while memories of bad experiences tend to fade and good ones spring to the forefront. There'll be a grace period, to be sure. I give it a couple of months. Then he'll ease back into his old role, having a meltdown in the van and jumping out into traffic, or trying to pick up a Rock Band guitar to smash his sister's head in, or calling his mom a cocksucker and throwing drink in her face, or shoving her down because he doesn't want to go to bed (all of which he's done before).  Then he'll go back to the center. Then, in 6-18 months (the longest they can keep someone without a re-admittance process), he'll get out again. Then he'll do something else, and go back, etc. Until he turns 16, when he suddenly stops being the  poor cute little guy everyone needs to bend over backwards for, and starts being a problem for the law. It's up to him, really. I'll give him a chance, but if he chooses not to take it I've got nothing for him and won't hesitate to put him down on his ass should the need arise. Everyone else can dance around all they want and adjust their lives according to his whims, but I've always known that bullies big or small only really ever respond to one thing.

When I used to work at a bowling alley there were a good number of "alley kids" who league bowlers would bring every time they bowled, and basically used the alley like a playground.  Some of them pretty obviously had mental issues, but the parents were almost uniformly in denial about it.  There was one kid who had gotten himself and his dad evicted from their apartment building because he wouldn't stop pulling the fire alarm (he was ten or eleven), but none who were violence risks.  I can't imagine having to deal with that shit.

Bowling Alley Lolitas also sounds like a sleazy 50s paperback.

"The Hardest thing in bowling is 7-10 split, but the easiest thing is getting the 17s to split."

Quote
Delivery Styles

There are three different types of styles used when releasing the ball onto the lane. The three styles are the stroker, cranker and tweener styles.

    Stroker

    People who use the stroker style usually keep their feet square to the foul line. Stroking lessens the ball's spin rate and therefore decreases its hook/curve potential and hitting power. Strokers use finesse and accuracy.

    Cranker

    Crankers try to create as much spin as possible by using a cupped wrist. Bowlers that use the cranking method often cup their wrist, but open the wrist at the top of the swing. Crankers often use late timing, meaning the foot reaches the foul line before the ball does; this is called "plant and pull", hardly using any slide on their last step and pulling the ball upwards for leverage. Crankers rely on speed and power.

    Tweener

    Tweeners are bowlers that release the ball in a way that falls somewhere in between stroking and cranking. Tweeners often release the ball with a higher backswing than is normally used by a stroker or a less powerful wrist position than a cranker.

Alley Kids sounds like some sleazy 50s paperback about Bowling Alley Lolitas. 

Bowling Alley Lolitas also sounds like a sleazy 50s paperback.

"The Hardest thing in bowling is 7-10 split, but the easiest thing is getting the 17s to split."

Jesus, i checked wikipedia to make some easy bowling / sex puns and it seems like they're pre-loaded into the game.

Delivery Styles

There are three different types of styles used when releasing the ball onto the lane. The three styles are the stroker, cranker and tweener styles.

    Stroker

    People who use the stroker style usually keep their feet square to the foul line. Stroking lessens the ball's spin rate and therefore decreases its hook/curve potential and hitting power. Strokers use finesse and accuracy.

    Cranker

    Crankers try to create as much spin as possible by using a cupped wrist. Bowlers that use the cranking method often cup their wrist, but open the wrist at the top of the swing. Crankers often use late timing, meaning the foot reaches the foul line before the ball does; this is called "plant and pull", hardly using any slide on their last step and pulling the ball upwards for leverage. Crankers rely on speed and power.

    Tweener

    Tweeners are bowlers that release the ball in a way that falls somewhere in between stroking and cranking. Tweeners often release the ball with a higher backswing than is normally used by a stroker or a less powerful wrist position than a cranker.

Bowling Alley Lolitas sounds like a great videogame name, get to work Japanese devs! :uguu

Tweeners enjoy a good stroking and cranking. :tauntaun
