I Want Get People To Think About

I'm Seeing Too Many Kids Where They Get Fixated On Their Own Autism. I'd Rather Have Them Get Fixated That They Like Programming Computers Or They Like Art Or They Want To Sing In The Church Choir Or They Want To Train Dogs, You Know, Something That They Can Turn Into A Career.

I'm A Believer In Biochemistry. But I Tell People To Try Only One Thing At A Time To See If It Works. And If You Do Give A Powerful Drug To A Kid, It Better Have A Big Wow Factor.

And While We Are On The Subject Of Medication You Always Need To Look At Risk Versus Benefit.

If You Have Autism In The Family History, You Still Vaccinate. Delay It A Bit, Space Them Out.

I Think It's A Real Shame So Many Schools Have Taken Out The Hands-on Classes. Art, Music, Auto Mechanics, Cooking, Sewing, These Are All Things That Can Turn Into Jobs. You Know, Wood Shop, Steel Shop, Welding. These Are All Things That Can Turn Into Great Careers, Get Kids Interested. Things They Can Do With Other Students. Other Things For Our Word Thinkers: Journalism Clubs, Drama Clubs.
