Dachel Media Update: Dr. Sara Bauer Glosses Over Very Real Struggles of Autism
By Anne Dachel
Read Anne's commentary and view the links after the jump. The Dachel Media Update is sponsored by Aperture International.
In order to cover up the vaccine injury everywhere we have to lie to ourselves about autism and all health problems rife in our children. We have to convince ourselves that autism is an acceptable part of the human condition that we've just discovered has always been here.
Here's a doctor who does just that.
It needs to be understood that no one in mainstream medicine or at our health agencies will ever do more than treat autism as a passing curiosity we have all the time in the world to figure out. It'll never be described as a crisis. (A term NEVER used by any official with the word AUTISM.) No one will ever seriously investigate regressive autism to determine what triggered a sudden loss of learned skills, including speech in so many of our children. The mounting evidence pointing to vaccinations will continue to be buried, and the government will keep vaccine injury settlements involving autism a closely guarded federal secret.
Meanwhile the brainwashing continues.
Dec 1, 2015, Quartz.com: Let’s stop treating autism as abnormal By Dr. Sarah C. Bauer
Several months ago, I sat in my office with the family of a 4-year-old girl called April* who had recently been diagnosed with autism. April had already made tremendous progress with language as well as behavior. She was speaking in short phrases, making better eye contact, and was more interested in other children. But she was still struggling to understand more complicated directions and to master toilet training. April’s parents wanted my opinion as a developmental pediatrician about where their daughter fell on the autism spectrum and what her future might look like.
I hesitated, as I often do when I am asked this question. Parents are understandably eager for more information after their child receives an autism diagnosis. But I struggle with the idea of an autism spectrum. To me, the concept suggests that children can be distributed along a scale that ranges from “normal” to not. This kind of sorting can obscure the real strengths that accompany many developmental disabilities.
I believe it’s high time the US and countries around the world began altering our perceptions of what is normal. Primary-care providers, as well as specialists in developmental disabilities, are on the front lines of helping children and their families understand what an autism diagnosis means. This means we have a special responsibility. We need to help parents understand that their goal should be to support children’s growth as individuals—not to nudge kids toward culturally conditioned ideas of normalcy.
Most families don’t anticipate raising a child with autism. The prospect can spark fears about the unknown and the future, as well as worries about the stigma still associated with a diagnosis of autism. Yet the diagnosis is increasingly common. A recent survey from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that 1 in 45 children have autism, or 2%, based on parental reports.
Not only is autism now an accepted part of childhood, we have proof that it's common in adults too.
This 2011 article about a study from Holland, Diagnosing autism spectrum disorders in elderly people, was published in Cambridge Journals Online.
The three case studies show that in clinical practice ASD can easily be missed in elderly individuals presenting with comorbid psychiatric disorders, potentially causing iatrogenic damage. Although further research on phenotyping and diagnosing ASD in older people is warranted, the most important step at this point is to create a greater awareness of the possibility of ASD in old age among health-care professionals working with people in this age group.
So all the better diagnosing that's been going on among our children hasn't been happening in older populations. We have to improve on that.
Let me describe the three cases of autism in older adults that these researchers found.
Case #1 was a man who was married and had owned his own company.
Case #2 was someone who had joined Franciscan order, later married and had five children.
Case #3 described a man who was married and had three children.
I'm tired of "experts" supposedly uncovering autism in adults. They never present an adult who started out developing normally and for some unknown reason lost all learned skills, including speech around age two.
I want to see the non-verbal, diaper-wearing middle aged and elderly ASD person. Ones who bolt out the door and end up dead in the river. Ones who have to be watched 24/7. I want to see these same people with all the concomitant health health conditions our kids have.
You can see that we have to keep lying about autism if we want to cover up the evidence of vaccine injury. If autism ever became a real crisis in America, the public would want answers. People wouldn't settle for the lies any longer. Autism has to be the new normal.

To lawrence, I take this opinion from statements by Dr. Boyd E. Haley, PhD, biochemist, mercury toxicologist. - Apparently, the severely autistic kids have such severe oxidative stress - which the body is unable to reduce with antioxidants- that they are unable to show much improvement. Dr. Haley produced a product names OSR , which he felt had the property of being able to cross cell membranes to control oxidative stress. The U.S. government forced his product off the market, despite the fact that many parents of autistic kids had reported improvement in their kids . The mild cases of autism may resolve on their own without any treatment because the human body is able to reduce the oxidative stres sand excrete the toxins that created the oxidative stress.

They ought to be in prison, breaking rocks into road gravel, Pan, PrOffit, DeStefano, Boyle, Gerberding, and all the rest.

Oh their day is coming, it's just a matter of time.
You don't intentionally poison generations of defenceless children…. and just walk off into the sunset.
Parents worldwide are slowly waking up to the horror of what these people have done. And once they get past their initial shock, they're going to be looking for justice in a way that the world has not yet seen.
And each and every one of these narcissistic idiots, has a left a trail of propaganda that 's gonna lead the angry mob right back to them.

I'd also give them a sixteen pound sledge for making that gravel. It is the number one cure for sarcopenia.

I must add that, of the six, only four were injected. The smallpox was a type of variolation, and the Sabin was oral, on a sugar cube. The last case of smallpox in the U.S. was reported in the year of my birth.

Nonnymouse: You're absolutely right. I attended elementary school from 1954 to 1961. My school had no special ed services because there was no need for them. One year, I believe it was third grade, we got a student with asthma, and our teacher patiently explained what it was because nobody had ever heard of it. Nor do I recall him or her running off to the nurse's office for drugs. There was a special ed class in high school, but it was about six times the size of the elementary school, and many of the kids in it were there because they didn't know enough English to survive in the mainstream setting. I suspect general behavior was better than it is today, too. It's no wonder, since kids weren't nearly so heavily poisoned as they are today. We got the DPT, smallpox, and both the Salk and Sabin polio (spaced years apart). That's six. It is a testament to the amazing ability of the body to heal itself that more weren't harmed by these six. But 69? They ought to be in prison, breaking rocks into road gravel, Pan, PrOffit, DeStefano, Boyle, Gerberding, and all the rest.

@ nonnymouse
I'll keep on posting this here. In primary and grammar school in the U.K. from 1955 through 1966 I suffered from allergic rhinitis (flower pollen, catkin pollen, feathers, etc. plus other never identified causes). I looked as though I was highly infectious with a severe cold. How many times did a concerned teacher say to me through her gritted teeth, "are you quite sure you're alright, Esmeralda? (ha! not my name). I would snuffle back, "yes, Miss, it's hay fever but it's not from hay". When I used the correct title 'allergic rhinitis', teachers would be confused, a state of mind they don't like experiencing (FYI there were many teachers in my family). So intelligent, educated women didn't understand the term 'allergic rhinitis' because it wasn't commonplace.

Lawrence,
My son has improved in ways. However, he is still non verbal, still very disabled, still struggles with immune and gut problems, still has behavioral outbursts, still needs constant supervision...he's almost 20. Yes in ways he has improved over the years...not the kind of improvement you were thinking of?
Posted by: Andrea | December 04, 2015 at 05:31 PM
To Nonnymouse: You are so right. One obese classmate in all of K through high school. One kid with a congenital heart defect who had to skip gym. No autism. No ADHD. No peanut allergies. Never even heard of asthma until early adulthood.
And to Lawrence: The easy answer would be: well, we've watched them grow up. But in fact some do improve, usually with a great deal of effort and support from their caregivers. The devil is in the details. By "improve" were you thinking incontinent, mute, head-banging to toilet-trained, mute, head-banging, or just what?
Posted by: Rae | December 04, 2015 at 04:54 PM
How appalling that this young woman is an assistant professor, thus an acknowledged expert. Thanks for all the thoughtful comments posted here.
But Lawrence, my son is 53 years old. He was almost six years old when he finally learned to speak normally, but he never caught-up. He lives in a group home for schizophrenic men. His autism was the result of head injury and asphyxia at birth, which the medical establishment rejects as much as vaccination as a cause.
I will continue to try to point out vulnerability of the auditory pathway to asphyxia at birth and toxic exposures like prenatal valproic acid...

Let’s stop treating autism as abnormal By Dr. Sarah C. Bauer
**********
Sure…. lets stop treating chemically poisoned CHILDREN as abnormal. Because one of the people who makes their living from all that poisoning , says we should.

Dr Sarah Bauer:
"We need to help parents understand that their goal should be to support children’s growth as individuals—not to nudge kids toward culturally conditioned ideas of normalcy."
I don't blame the "doctor" for wanting to establish a new definition of "normal" .. because it must be extremely difficult having parents come before you all day long .. five days a week .. asking for help in "treating" the myriad of chronic auto-immune disorders .. not just autism .. but .. ADHD, infant seizures, strokes, type 1 diabetes, SIDS, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, on and on ..,
How else is the doctor going to explain the extremely poor health of today's generation of children .. where almost ten years ago the CDC estimated that "1 in 6 American children have development problems" .. and .. we can rest assured that dismal rate of childhood development problems has NOT improved .. or public health bureaucracies SURELY would have told us.
Ergo .. the solution as Dr. Bauer says .. is to ignore whatever may be causing all these developmental problems .. and .. to alleviate the justifiable concerns of parents .. just make parents comfortable that their child's chronic autoimmune disorders represent a NEW NORMAL ..
Unfortunately .. Dr. Bauer does represent a "new normal" in doctors who have abandoned all previous generations who swore an oath to ... FIRST .. DO NO HARM.
AND THE BAND PLAYS ON AND ON ......

The funny thing is we are being badgered about accepting autism as 'normal', yet no one asks the same about Down's, CP, mental retardation, and so on. And, the irony is when comparing functioning levels across disability groups, in respect to their employability, autistic induviduals fare the worse. I once came across a study that claimed a blind, physically disabled individual stood a better chance of getting a job than an autistic person. In my own professional experience, I am also seeing this. I got one of my high functioing Aserger's guys and another middle aged man with an ID and physical disability in the same sheltered work program, yet even though the Asperger's young man can be seen as more intelligent, and with superior communication skills, he's doing worse in the program.

You are right Anne. Thank you for your efforts.
Here is a quote from a new piece on the internet explaining away the rising numbers, but not from a notable site. Still the quote is rich and is the growing media mantra.
"Physicians are having better luck identifying symptoms at early ages and creating therapy plans to meet children's needs."

Does Dr. Bauer think it normal to be reactive to MOST FOOD as many autistic children are? Does she think it is normal for them to have chronic constipation? Is it normal for them to get allergic migraines, allergic rhinitis, allergic eczema and itching? And not just for autistic children, but too many non-autistic children, also? Does she think it normal that when they get an allergic migraine, they try to stop the pain by head banging? Does she think chronic inflammation in severely autistic children is normal? Does she think that OCD behavior due to candida overgrowth is normal? Parents get help from books by autism doctors and intestinal experts and environmental allergists but these are not covered by insurance, so our children don't get as much help as would benefit them because mainstream doctors don't have a clue how to help them. And that if they reduced the schedule back to when we were little, the autism rates would drop dramatically.

I wonder if this pediatrician would like to meet Helen. She's in her sixties and has beautiful skin. She can say Christmas and Burger King. She has toiletting issues. She sits a lot, stares, sorts beads, stares some more, and then sorts some more. I'm sure no one has been pushing her to culturally conditioned ideas of normalcy for some time. I'm equally sure the pediatrician would point out her beautiful skin, and kinda leave it at that. Her life now is what the future will be for many children struggling with autism. Anybody in the medical community willing to spend some money on Helen? Or change her clothes after she's had an accident? Didn't think so.

"We need to help parents understand that their goal should be to support children’s growth as individuals—not to nudge kids toward culturally conditioned ideas of normalcy."
How about BIOLOGICAL NORMALCY? Remember that? Is it biologically normal for a human to be mute? incontinent? in chronic pain? developmentally delayed? socially incompetent? anxious?
Now autism is merely a cultural misinterpretation. It's our perception that's way off. We're expecting too much. We are to forget biological normalcy - not even mentioned.
What we need to do is we need to stop giving medical licenses to idiots.

This article is truly absurd. Dr. Sarah B. feels it's high time we started adjusting our ideas about what is normal. I guess we should also accept mass shooting and genetically modifying the whole food supply. It's high time!

A serious question - why are you convinced that children who are on the more severe end of the spectrum won't improve by the time they are adults?
Posted by: Lawrence | December 03, 2015 at 07:33 PM
Obviously the young woman -- Sarah C. Bauer -- is not old enough to know any better. Probably within her adult-memory lifetime, autism was becoming so common that she truly thinks it's 'normal'.
Howeve,r she should take heed of the saying: "Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it."
If she just takes it as 'normal' (and this sounds somewhat like the neurodiversity folks) she has NO conception of history.
Fifty years ago, in grade-school classrooms, the students were -- throughout the entire school -- all reasonably healthy, no one taking 'meds', almost no asthma anywhere. And no autism. In any one class of 25 or 30, one student might be impaired in some way.
Ask anyone who is 65 or older, "what was it like in your elementary school classrooms?" There was NO autism. No stimming. Almost no acting-out. Ever.
Sarah C. Bauer has no idea what she is talking, about because she is only taking information from her own very limited view of the world.
