I have theories that I would like to see pursued, but official canada goose outlet I just a mom with no medical degree. I am certain that autism is something that a child is born with. I knew something was wrong with my son when I brought him home from the hospital. Less than two days after his birth I had canada goose factory outlet toronto location him in the ER He wouldn curl his body around mine to nurse and seemed to pull away from my physical contact. Because I weened my daughter only 7 or 8 months earlier, I knew what a nursing baby was canada goose outlet new york city supposed to feel like. All the attention and money aimed at the immunization angle angers me because it diverted away from what strikes me as the truth.
cheap Canada Goose My grandfather displays canada goose outlet store toronto Aspie tendencies as do my father and his older brother. They are all engineers, canada goose outlet winnipeg address brilliant men, what used to be called an absent minded professor. I was an unhealthy child. If it weren for modern medicine, I wouldn be alive. My pregnancy with my son canada goose outlet store new york was rough. If it weren for modern medicine, he likely would not be canada goose parka outlet alive. I honestly believe that the reason we are seeing an uptick in autism is twofold 1) more frequent diagnosis due to awareness (and also many cases which are not true austism) and 2) better medical care is improving the chances for those who are autistic or carry the genes to survive. cheap Canada Goose

You can hardly blame CNN for not knowing the cause, when most doctors don even agree.

His little brother introduced himself to a group of neighbor canada goose outlet ontario girls that go to the same canada goose outlet black friday sale school as my Aspie son.

canada goose clearance sale Mom to 3, I too see the Aspie/Autistic physical resemblances. My son looks a great deal like a far lower functioning child I grew up with.
