If I go on MTV can I get people to believe me too??

Alright, this might be short but then again it might be long..so be prepared.

I am sick to death of hearing about people "curing" autism. Specifically a certain blonde playmate that used to pick her nose on MTV for a living. I know I have talked about this before, but it just really gets me heated. I am no way telling people how to raise their children or what is right or wrong. Each parent does what they feel best and I get that...but why put someone so innocent through the ringer for your own need for a "normal" child? I dont mean the parents that just change the kids diet or add vitamins. I mean the ones that spend a ridiculous amount of money on treatments that I wouldnt even wish on someone I dislike, let alone someone I love!

I really think that she is spreading the wrong message and too many misinformed people are on the bandwagon. They see that tiny thread of "hope" and cling to it for all its worth. When I would bet money that whatsherface's (I'm even sick of her name) son isnt really even "cured". Sure, maybe he improved...but that isnt cured people! Hell, Gage has made improvement but I'm smart enough to know he's not at the level of a typical 3 year old and he certainly isnt cured/healed/whatever. I really am thinking that this poor child is being used. Maybe at first it was a mother excited about progress and wanting to share, then I think it became about fame and money. Think about it, before her whole "I am Mrs. Autism"(no, she didnt say that..I'm just being mean) what did you really see her in? I'll give you a minute to think about it......

Cant come up with too much, can you? She started making a profit off of her child before he was even born. I wont lie, I enjoyed her book "Belly Laughs". I was young, pregnant and scared. Not to mention too lazy to read a book as big as "What to expect.." lol. So I bought it and it was funny and gave me a insight on some things I wouldnt have thought of. Of course, that being said..it was like reading the comics in Sunday's paper..you read them because they are funny, not to get the real news. Dont get me wrong, I dont think she is a bad person. I just think she is irresponsible to be doing what she is doing. She had given people a false belief of what Autism is. Unfortunately because of her "star" status many people believe her. Hell if Oprah had her on, it must be true...right? I would think true reporters would be smart enough to not have only her on there talking about Autism. I remember Oprah having Toni Braxton, Holly Robinson Peete and Jenny McCarthy on her show. Who got the most air time?? You guessed it! Jenny did, which just shows that people believe her crap. I am sick to death of not hearing any other way but the Jenny way. How can you listen to someone that is just not credible, at all. First she goes on and on about how she is an indigo mom and her son is a crystal child..blah blah blah. Now she's dropped that though and its all about being a "warrior mom". I recently read a blog by a very smart woman. No, I dont know her, but I can tell from her blog that she has a good head on her shoulders. :) This is something she said in her blog "A Warrior Mom is a mom who loves their child unconditionally. Who wants them to have all of the advantages of other children. Who beams when they walk in a room." I totally agree with her! Check out her blog here.

I just wish someone, ANYONE would do a show about how its like to really live with Autism. Not some photoshopped version of reality. It is irresponsible to give people a one sided, false hope version of the truth. Autism is not curable. period. I'm not always the brightest crayon in the box and I figured that one out pretty damn quickly. I also this its funny that whatsherface keeps changing her story. One time her son is "cured", then he "recovered"..she doesnt like any vaccines at all, then she thinks they are good but need to be spread out..make up your mind and stick with it already! Now, if he is cured/recovered/fixed/crystal..why do we never see him? Except in photographs, which I am sure took longer than she would like to admit. Why not show video of his progress and how much this wonder treatment can do? I am not saying her kid isnt cute, he is..but his mom is an idiot. Also, if she is removing yeast from his stomach..why is the thing she is using to remove yeast have yeast in it?? Did you know that this pill makes you throw up over and over again(I've heard for like 3 days)..and also give you the poops? Now that would make an adult sick and weak, imagine what it does to a child.

I am just tired of her and her Autism parade...or should I say charade? She is promoting junk. Do people really think Autism is the way she says? Probably..and its sad. Not once have I ever heard he mention how her son is/was. People that read her crap or watch her on tv that are not parents to Autistic children probably dont know what Autism really is. Autism is not celation, shots, vitamins, yeast or "recovery/cure". It is different for everyone. Every family has a different "What Autism is.." story. I know in this house Autism is a lovable, funny, hand flapping, oooh-ing, sensory seeking, texture hating, over stimulated, silly little guy named Gage. Is Gage's journey unique? It sure is..each child with Autism is unique, they may share certain similarities but each one is unique and so is each story. Dont reduce it to one person who is a fame hog, that promotes herself over and over again. Her story is not the only story out there. I wish people would realize that and stop giving her the attention she doesnt deserve.

There..I'm done my ranting. I just dont have the patience or energy tonight to talk about her anymore. Its irritating and upsetting..
