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."

ScienceDaily (Oct. 24, 2009) — Adult male monkeys exposed to cocaine while in the womb have poor impulse control and may be more vulnerable to drug abuse than female monkeys, even a decade or more after the exposure, according to a new study by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. The findings could lead to a better understanding of human drug abuse.
The study was presented at the annual Society for Neuroscience meeting in Chicago.

Swine flu has been generated by drug companies and is being hyped by Governments. Swine flu is less infectious than previous strains, and mild in symptomatology. H1N1 is a man-made virus and the vaccine was created before the virus! The excuse for mass vaccination is a fraud. This vaccine contains substances that induce infertility and undermine the human immune system, in keeping with the eugenics agenda to reduce the population. The main purpose of the vaccine is to implant nanotechnology microchips that will allow external manipulation of body, mentally, physically and emotionally. Dr Ryke Geerd Hamer, who has taken on the German medical establishment, said that an employee of Baxter International in Vienna, explained that the needles of the swine flu vaccines are much larger than normal, and contain 12 nano particles in every tip. They can be seen at 12x magnification microscopy. The staff of the pharmaceutical company, Baxter, in Vienna was told that the particles work in the human body like a motherboard in a computer, and lots of data can be stored on them. The employee asked a lawyer how she could avoid being micro chipped, and the lawyer said he knew about the mass microchipping plan, and that most ‘upper class’ members of society were aware of the plan, and that certain politicians and key members of banking and industry, etc. would be exempt. However, for the majority of the population, there would be no escape. This is the first vaccine to come in the pre-prepared syringe. All previous vaccines come in an ampoule and are drawn up into a syringe. There is evidence below that the Cervarix vaccine currently being given to schoolgirls is part of a programme to reduce the population.

Despite Anti-Vitamin D Bias, CDC Stumbles on Deficiency Link to H1N1 Deaths
Posted by: Dr. Mercola September 22 2009 | 9,064 views
( click the image on the left to listen to podcast)
So far, Swine flu, H1N1, has killed thirty-six children in U.S. and analysis of CDC data indicates Vitamin D deficient children at higher risk of death. The CDC did not realize they discovered this. However, anyone familiar with the Vitamin D literature will recognize it.Almost two-thirds of the dead children had epilepsy, cerebral palsy, or other neurodevelopmental conditions like mental retardation. All of these neurological conditions are associated with childhood Vitamin D deficiency. Exacerbating the problem further, many of these kids take anticonvulsant drugs, which lower Vitamin D levels.
58 million American children are Vitamin D deficient; 7.6 million are severely deficient.
When researchers looked at more than 6,000 American kids (age one to 21) who were carefully selected to be representative of the average American child. 9 percent of the kids had 25(OH)D levels less than 15 ng/mL and 70 percent had levels less than 30 ng/mL.
As the advent of the experimental swine flu vaccine program draws near, I want to highlight the information coming out that confirms the importance of having sufficient vitamin D levels in order to limit your chances of contracting the swine flu, or any other influenza for that matter.

Autism Prevalence Now 1 in 91 -National Children's Health Survey Report Finds
Monday, October 5, 2009 By: Carin Yavorcik
A national report released today in the journal Pediatrics reveals that 1 percent of U.S. children ages 3-17 have an autism spectrum disorder, an estimated prevalence of one in every 91 children. This is a dramatic increase from the one in 150 prevalence rates currently reported.
“This national study charts a dramatic rise in the prevalence of autism in the United States and we applaud this administration’s recognition that autism is an urgent public health priority,” said Autism Society President and CEO Lee Grossman. “But families today are asking: how high must these prevalence rates rise before the nation responds? Significant resources must be directed toward screening and diagnosis, affordable interventions that treat the whole person and comprehensive education plans to foster lifelong skill development so that people with autism will have the ability to work and live independently.”

ScienceDaily (July 19, 2009) — Education is on the cusp of a transformation because of recent scientific findings in neuroscience, psychology, and machine learning that are converging to create foundations for a new science of learning.
Writing in the July 17 edition of the journal Science, researchers report that this shift is being driven by three principles that are emerging from cross-disciplinary work: learning is computational, learning is social, and learning is supported by brain circuits linking perception and action that connect people to one another. This new science of learning, the researchers believe, may shed light into the origins of human intelligence.
"We are not left alone to understand the world like Robinson Crusoe was on his island," said Andrew Meltzoff, lead author of the paper and co-director of the University of Washington's Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences. "These principles support learning across the life span and are particularly important in explaining children's rapid learning in two unique domains of human intelligence, language and social understanding.
"Social interaction is more important than we previously thought and underpins early learning. Research has shown that humans learn best from other humans, and a large part of this is timing, sensitive timing between a parent or a tutor and the child," said Meltzoff, who is a developmental psychologist.

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!

“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.

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!
