Jenny,
I'm watching your story of your Evan's struggles with Autism as we speak. I am a single 35 year old mom of 4 in Blue Island Illinois ( I know your from the South Side so you know where I am). I have no questions for you but just wanted to show my support and respect of you and Evan. I have a son with Tourettes Syndrome and although nothing like Autism, we had alot of contact with Autistic children while my son was in Easter Seals. I know you know it but it never hurts to hear it. You have been given such a blessing and God only gives the strong one's the children who need extra support. Evan is your gift. Enjoy him. He is hidden in the body of a child who has Autism but that adorable little boy I am sure is happy and has a beautiful personality. Be strong!
Lots of love,
Jennifer

Hey Foxy and Jenny, I have an 8 month old and 7yr and5yr my question is at what age did you see the change? When do they get the MMR? Thank you for your voice. God Bless you and all autism parents. Kristy

Jenny, My name is Happy Nied, not sure if you remember me, You were great! I will get the book. I have a son with ADD/ADHD and I think it will be helpful. God Bless you, I will keep praying for you, Please Pray for me too.

Jenny/Holly, thank you so much for sharing your stories today. I haven't had my son tested for gluten/casein yet, but plan to. What tests are done to determine if he is susceptible/allergic? Simple blood tests or is it more involved?

Hi Jenny, I'd like to know what your recommendation is for an accurate dx? A child psychologist told me that since my son has the socialization component that he is more likely to just be dev. delayed and possibly MR. He's had biomed intervention to reveal heavy metal toxicity and impaired detoxification, but for learning 'life skills', I'm not sure what path to go down cuz he isn't Autistic...but how many more opinions should I get?? Hope that makes sense. I would like to know how to find a GREAT CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST in the Chicago area. Thanks a lot and I'm sooooo glad you came on the show. Please let me know if I can join your crusade through a website or whatever. I'm as pumped up about vaccines/biomed and diet as you are! ROCK ON!

Hello Jenny & Holly. (Jenny I grew up on South side too - nice to see you!) Thank you for getting this message out there & I am there with you for this fight. I have a 11yo son who has ADHD & PDD-Nos (Aspergers mostly) and completely understand about fighting to get your child the right care, without having those within education wanting to place him with other children who have severe mental disorders. Unfortunately, my son went thru 5 years of hell at a school that caused serious problems for my son & now he is going to a special school so that he can find ways to cope with his problems & eventually get back to regular school. The problem that I am seeing is that these educators want to teach our children as though they are not able to work at the regular pace of other students within their grade level, and want to teach them at a much different level. I am having these issues right now & the school can't get it that my son is in 6th grade & can work at that level and are trying to instruct him using 4th grade material. Their excuse - well he won't be able to work with the rest of the class! He's bright, intelligent, can actually do his grade level work if given the chance & motivation. He just is not always motivated! Then there's the behavior issues that I am dealing with, along with his anger when he's told "no". That bothers me & I can't seem to break thru that. I don't want to loose my son into a world full of anger, bad attitude, possible physical aggression towards others. He's in counseling at CMH but not sure if she's able to get thru either. HELP

Thank you to both of you for stepping up and helping to educate parents all over the world about Autism. Using your "science" to help others understand what is really happening behind the scenes is helping- just look at the most recent CDC statement. Progress is being made and it's because of people like the two of you. I have a seven month old baby girl who is in the midst of getting vaccinated and as an educated Mom, I am very concerned. Jenny, you mentioned that you suspected Evan's autism as a result of the MMR. Could you tell me what you would do if you had it to do all over again. For example, some people believe that if you space them out and not do all 3 than your chances are better or some people recommend waiting until they are older than the recommended age of 12-15 months. Your time and thoughts are appreciated. Kind regards, Nicole Nicole Davis in Chicago, IL
