This year, dozens of junior high and high school students with autism will have a new school of their own.

Pieceful Solutions, Arizona's first and fastest-growing K-12 school for children with autism spectrum disorders, is opening its newest campus on Higley and Ray roads in Gilbert, Ariz.

The first day of classes is Wednesday, July 22, and Ashley Nicoll is just as excited as her son, Timber, is to have a program designed for his special needs.

Up until last year, Timber attended a public school, but Nicoll said it was not working for him.

"They had great teachers in the public school, and they tried so hard and did so much, but they aren't trained to help him," she said.

I really like hearing about schools like this. School districts have tried to pound the round pegs of autism into the square holes of the public school system.  BUT...this is also very scary.  The disorder with no known cause of cure, that affects almost two percent of children continues to be unrecognized for what it really is: AN EPIDEMIC.  We're building whole schools for disabled children who weren't here twenty-five years ago.  "This year, dozens of junior high and high school students with autism will have a new school of their own."  When are we going to demand to know why there are dozens of students with autism in the first place? 

Why weren't the regular school teachers trained to help a child with autism?

Stories like this are the real evidence of the disaster we call AUTISM.  It's incredible to see them come up day after day from around the country.  Even the name of the school, Pieceful Solutions, is a sign that autism--the puzzling disorder--is being accepted by everyone.

Dentists have been using dental amalgam to fill cavities for more than 150 years. Now one group is suing the FDA, claiming that people are getting sick and that silver fillings need to be banned.

"I was trying to avoid mercury when I was pregnant and nursing," said Amy Forseter. "I knew all the fish not to eat, but I had no idea it could be in my mouth."

Forseter has had more than a dozen cavities, most of them filled with dental amalgam, a mixture of metals that's 50 percent liquid mercury, a naturally occurring element that's highly toxic.

"As soon as I learned that I had these toxins in my mouth, I wanted to immediately get it removed," said Forseter.

Some scientists have said the mercury from these fillings can leak and seep into the body and cause neurological problems for some people....

Earlier this month a group of dentists, scientists and patients filed suit against the FDA, claiming the agency hasn't done enough to address any potential health hazards of amalgam ...

I wonder how many people are aware that the "silver" fillings in their mouth, is really half mercury.
