David for some it is just easier to drug their kids, stay in denial, while accepting pity (and consulting fees) from the pharmcos. Too bad the road this misguided doctor is on will never have any of those moments of "sheer ecstasy" when your child speaks a novel sentence.
I had to laugh.. Josh "fired" his speech therapist yesterday. She is doing his annual testing and wouldn't pull out her usual cache of toys. He pointed at her and said "You're fired!". Hopefully we won't need her services too much longer but I'll try and be bit more polite about it.
Way to go Davey, keep fighting!

Susan--
I am so happy for you, Tim and especially for your son. Let these
frightened, embarrassed doctors and bureaucrats want dismiss us, our
children and the treatments that work. Our love and our hope will
never diminish.
I wonder if our opponents' primary error is failing to realize that
moms and dads, grandmas and grandads will do ANYTHING to protect and
help their children. Officialdom is used to in-house politics,
spreadsheets, and PR. They seem to have no idea, no clue, how real
and powerful we are.
Susan, your story also uplifts Kristi, my wife, and me. Our Davey
just turned six and has just started chelation.
BTW, when I was helping Davey to get ready to go for swimming
lessons this morning, we were headed out the door when he turned and
said:
"I need my scandals."
Shall we analyze that utterance for a moment?
1. It is a unique utterance indicating the creative use of language.
Davey was not echoing. He was choosing words from among his active
expressive vocabulary, then placing those words in their appropriate
slots in a sentence, to express his needs/feelings at a given point
in time.
2. This single, complete utterance is proof that the entire system
of English phonetics and syntax/grammar is complete within him.
He "has" acquired human language. The rest is development.
3. He could not form complete English utterances until AFTER
chelation.
As Dr. Fitizpatrick would say, "What a coincidence."

(socialization, behaviors, cognitive skills, issues with rigidity,
etc., etc., etc.) What a coincidence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
