Parents Emergency Room
Are You a Parent of Autistic Child?

|
"Once you get a diagnosis, you can't be a parent, you have to be a case manager, an education specialist, You've got to figure out the medical system. It's overwhelming to think I have to advocate and navigate the system. The level of stress is terrifying."
"It is only the Parents that care for the Parents. They are the only ones who are motivated to know it all, try it all.They pay for their education and for the research. They are the truly Autism Specialists.The rest is waste of time."

The SECRETof Dr John Demartini- A Boy with a dream |

Monday, 16 July 2007 08:18 |
I was already familiar with John’s work and have seen him on “ The Secret” when I received a email from a local church that he will be speaking there. What I have found most impressive about him by that time is the clarity of his ideas and the effortless, non pretentious style he uses to present them. John has the gift to demystify complex issues and serve them to you with your morning coffee. I still clearly remember how shocked I was to hear him saying for the record in The Secret that he was diagnosed as learning disabled at age 7. Since my own son carried a label, I felt propelled to learn more.
I set my mind to meet John. I wanted to hear from him personally how did he go from there to where and who he is now. I had a lot on mind to ask of John -what happened with his disability, how come he is not longer disabled or is he, still – did he fake it because he didn’t like going to school, could he have been misdiagnosed and more.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has become essential element of my life for the last 5 years thanks to my son’s diagnosis. For all the knowledge I have accumulated on the subject, I have never come to meet or hear of a child who has outgrown his diagnosis of disability. When a child does recover we only add to the label – we now say “recovered autistic child”, but I don’t know of a case when the diagnosis has been dismissed all together. Even the happy parents will not refer to the child as typical. Such a child will carry the scarlet letter for life, because of public records and because the medical community have made their mind that Autism spectrum disorder is not something that could be cured. There is no treatment for ASD, therefore one can’t be cured from it. ( I see some obvious fault in this reasoning, don’t you?)
To sum it up- the common belief is: "once disabled always disabled..." - with this one exception – Dr. John Demartini. |

THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR UNDERSTANDING AND TREATING AUTISM
The autism rate is doubling every five years around the world.
If you are an expectant parent, or planning to have a child soon, you might want to sit down before absorbing these staggering statistics, recently released by the National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH)- 2009, which is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the US Department of Health and Human Services:
“According to data from the 2007 telephone survey of parents of nearly 82,000 US children, the odds of a parent being told that their child has an ASD are 1 in 63. If it is a boy, the chances climb to a science fiction-like level of one in 38, or 2.6% of all male children in America.”
Since autism was virtually unknown a few decades ago, this is an outrageous statistic and similar reports from other countries are not far behind. Effective treatments, based on an understanding of the pathophysiology of Autism, have been developed by dedicated doctors in the USA which, until now, were largely unavailable in the Spain.
Autism Alternative, a pioneering organization that provides education and support for the Autistic Community worldwide, will be running an educational course online in webinar format, based on extensive research and clinical experience of the brightest scientists and medical professionals who are treating Autism successfully.
The webinar is aimed at helping parents understand the reasons for the development of autism and the rationale behind recommendations and treatments. The treatment strategy follows sequential stages based on naturopathic principles so that particular issues can be targeted at the appropriate time, and in accordance with the body’s natural healing processes. For example, due to the fact that a key metabolic deficit in many autistic children inhibits detoxification, removal of metals etc., is not attempted until this former issue has been addressed and resolved.
The course is designed to assist parents to make sound decisions in their choice of treatments or therapies and offers them the “know how” to implement and supervise such interventions with the help and guidance of Autism trained medical professional. The course covers a huge array of practical tools and tips for parents to ease the flow of the healing process.
The webinar is taught by Mrs. Milena Sideris, Autism Specialist, Independent Medical Researcher specialized in Autism and ASD, Founder and CEO of Autism Alternative and a mother of healthy and happy child, formally diagnosed with Autism. More information about This Presenter could be found at www.AutismAlternative.com- About Us & Testimonials.
This Educational course consists of 12 online lectures - one webinar per week – each covering variety of the effective treatments and therapies for Autism, ASD and the associated neurological disorders, such as environmental and food allergies, detoxification, organ support during treatment, beneficial supplementation, diets, gastrointestinal issues common in ASD, immune deregulation, methylation, treatments for opportunistic infections and coinfections, feeding issues, sleep disturbances, mirror neurons rehabilitation, behavioral modification and etc.
Extended Certified course- duration 16 weeks - is offered to medical practitioners and therapists willing to work in the area of recovering Autism, ASD, neurological and developmental disorders in children.
These online lectures or webinar” are offered in different languages. The webinar take place on the same week day and time for 12 or 16 consecutive weeks. The begin dates for the webinars are announced in our Event Calendar. Visit Products to sign for the webinar of your interest.

Health Coach ASD
If you were to tell me you story of going from one doctor to another, the time and money it cost you searching for someone to trust with yours or your loved one’s health, you might notice that I gradually loose interest.
Some years ago I saw very appropriate and true caricature of exactly how impersonal the doctor- patient relationship has become. The patient is ready for his exam, shirt off and there is a bar code on his back. The patient says to the doctor: “I’m worried that health care has become too impersonal, Doc.” And the doctor’s response is:
“Oh! Nonsense… Just relax and lie back on the barcode scanner.”
Your best bet in finding the right practitioner is to understand that the process resembles very closely online dating. I am not an expert on the later but I succeed “catchin’ one and keepin’ him”.

The Boy(S) With The Incredible Brain -
written by Milena Sideris Brooks
For all of our Mr. Incredible out there and To all of you who at times fail to see the genie in the lamp and the genius hidden in Autism,
Imagine what a difference it would make if we focus more often on the bright side, on the gift or the blessing. Thit is my son posing for all of you with ' Imagine ME" face to see what we would look like..
Not once in my practice and my relationships wtih other ASD parents have I come across Autistic child without some exceptonal trade, talent or gift. Often you have to look deeper- depends on the age as well, but if you are observant enough, that bunny jumps right out of the magic hat. I strongly advocate that Autism is as close to genious as it could be. But let not my words be the only rock in your foundation, find out for yourself
You must watch this! - the links down will take you to videos posted on Google Video and Youtube. To watch more about Daniel Tammet- simply enter his name in the search windows of both sites.

I was asked recently a question that seemed at first as simple and automatic as reciting my name, or the alphabet, or perhaps the Pledge of Allegiance. It is something I have clung to repeatedly in my life, and automatically turn to in times of need. It is not a religious inclination, nor necessarily a spiritual one, and definitely not a rational decision. The question posed was, “Where do you find hope?” and my answer was a simple, “I have it.” Whenever I am in need of anything—be it money, friendship, inspiration, or time—I always have hope that I will find what I need. So, when I feel as if I am at the end of my rope, time and again I am always granted an extra foot or two of reprieve. It seems natural to me that because I have hope, there will always be an option, there will always be help, and there will always be progress. But looking back, I realized that I did not always have this copious amount of hope lying about in my soul, but rather I found it through my lowest of lows, and my hardest of times. I found hope waiting for me in the midst of despair.

Testimonials
Milena Sideris is a parents advocate, and practitioner in Phoenix, AZ who specializes in Autism Spectrum disorders. We have known each other for many years. She has been one of the instrumental people pointing me in the right direction to look for solutions for the treatment of AUtism Spectrum Disorders.
Milena s basically walking library on the topic, she knows pretty much everything that’s ever been said, proven or disproven that has to do with Autism. She k now s the literature; she knows all the big heroes and their work in the field and all the fallen heroes as well. In the process she has developed her own supportive protocols and therapies, based on her extensive knowledge personal experience and expertise.
She works with me in the function of the patient advocate – I would do the early, kind of gross evaluation, pointing the child in the right direction, establish and write the treatment protocol then Milena takes over and guide the families through the ups and downs of treatment and interventions for the next few years and this has been a fantastic cooperation between us and one truly beneficial for the patients and their recovery. She is living, breathing encyclopedia on every topic related to neurological disorders such as ASD and developmental delays in children.
She is one of the most brilliant people I have ever met!
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt MD, PhD
Medical Director of the Academy of Neurobiology, WA.
“The Healer if Healers”, " The Teacher of Teachers"
I have known Milena Sideris for a few years and highly recommend her to anyone involved in Autism Spectrum Disorder( ASD). Milena's personal knowledge and understanding of ASD far surpasses anyone I have ever come in contact with. She has medical knowledge greater then most doctors, and the dedication and passion that only a mother with an inflicted child could posses.
I have worked with her personally over the past years, and she has served as my trainer and mentor in understanding ASD. As a result, my ability to offer aid to families in need has drastically improved. I have also witnessed firsthand the benefit that children receive from even just an hour of her time. She is strongly intuitive, quick to action, and not afraid to put in all of her effort to help a child in need. Further, she knows exactly what is needed to be truly effective for children with special needs, the skill to train prospective therapists and providers, and the in depth understanding to revamp and revitalize stagnant intervention programs.
I strongly urge you to take advantage of her talent and can assure you that you will be impressed and pleased with the subsequent results.

Therapist ASD
Dear Milena,
You are my life saver, you taught me so much, and you came into my life just on time that I was so desperate.
I met Milena just on time; I was like “Oh! Thank God, help has arrived!” I was that desperate .Milena has helped me with a lot of things.
She was interested not only in my child but with our entire family and life. I really did not receive that much from any other person or professional until then and I was not aware that autism effects the whole family.She taught me a lot from homeopathy, detoxification, chelation, to how to build better immunity, through diets, allergy treatments, electromagnetic fields protection, getting rid of chronic infections, to even how to settle the room of the child, how to put a child to sleep, how to teach my child to pay attention and focus on a task, which of the educational and interventional approaches are good for my daughter, how to remain calm and focused on treatments and lots of more,,,, that wont fit here if I attempt to write it all down. I really understood how wonderful she is when I met her and her totally recovered son.
Thank you Milena!
