How Does It Feel To Be Told You Can't Have A Test?

“Amen Kim!
One time I asked my pediatrician if I could have both my ASD and "typical" child tested for parasites and yeast. She said, very dismissively, "Oh, I wouldn't even know how to order that one... I don't know anything about that." --and then never ordered the tests. She went on to tell me that my kids don't have those problems (a psychic doctor?). (Never went back to her)
We have these "people" who tell us that we are making this stuff up... that our kids do not have GI issues and Heavy Metal issues... but then we try to get tests to prove it ---and we have to drive or fly 5 hours to find a doc who doesn't say, "Oh your kid doesn't have that problem."”

“Why do your kids not like me? No friend requests were received....
:)
I did see the comment about target! I almost replied, "Your mom didn't take you YET?" ;)
Way to go Liam. He is amazing!”

“My kids love you fruitcake. It is nothing but Heart Heart Heart at this house for Miss Jenny, Gavin and Little Baby Liam. Are we still going to call him that when he is 35? And starring on Broadway?”

“Did you ever notice that when someone gets caught bashing autistic kids, they turn around and say, "oh.. not the "real" ones, just the fake ones!"
As if you are supposed to know which is which.
This leaves the public confused and wondering which kids who are dx'd, aren't really autistic.
I actually had an argument about this with someone who I thought was a friend --she kept trying to defend herself by saying, "Oh I know it's not your kids"
--but that is the thing, it's always someone else's kid, but it's not really...
What it really is, is a bunch of ignorant people talking out of the wrong end of their bodies.”

“Right.
Suddenly the autistics they "know" are truly challenged, its the ones they don't know that faking it for some irrational reason.”
