  • I'm going to the doctors to get a professional diagnosis. I could not speak until I was 4 & 1/2 - the NHS doctor at the time diagnosed me with "Aphasia" because of my total lack of speech and apparant disregard for language, and he told my mum that I was never likely to speak (I was 3 at the time of this diagnosis). She was shocked when I started to, and it took me years to say more than 2 to 3 words at a time. If it turns out I do have Autism, I will be ass whooping some doctor...

  • I have bought some of your books and watched some of your videos and i like that your work makes people aware of this imbalance. However i do not like when you claim that humans are born with it and that its incurable. I would like to open up for a discussion about true autism which i believe is an imbalance you are born with, and all the others with similar symptoms such as aspergers, add and so on are an imbalance you aquire after birth.

  • @niklassten I wrote "imbalance" on purpose, because thats what it truely is, and an imbalance irrespective of origin pre birth or pro birth always have the possibility to be brought back to balance. We need to change paradigm and ask new questions, and throw the word incurable in the dustbin.

  • wow I have all the signs of Autism

  • Our son appears to have was born with it, as we experienced his intensities as an infant. There was not a time when we saw a shift in him, as some parents experience. I think this is a very simple overview for those who need some introductions to it. I like much of Craig Kendall's work, as he's trying to broaden awareness. My suggestion is to modify the wording to "Most scientists believe a person is born with it," as that has yet to be confirmed, though it seems true in our son's case.

  • i have to agree there is more into autism.

  • Thank you for the work you do. I would include "autism spectrum disorders (ASD)" as a main label in your first list of names. Also, I believe saying "you're born with it" is a bit misleading. Although research points to a genetic factor (which would be there at birth), there is also an environmental "trigger" factor, and the majority of affected individuals had no signs of neuro impairment at birth or even in the first year of life. Also, the "clear outward signs" usually appear btwn 18-24 mos.

  • Autism is a not a single disorder...."there are different Autism"S" I really disagreed with your over generalization of the disorder. You are leaving out a huge number of individuals who experiance Regressive Autism. Not everyone who has autism is born with it. We need to leave families with a sense of hope - there is treatment and there are people recovering from it!

  • @MRZHD99 I appreciate your input. This video is only 2-minutes long and my goal was a general overview. I will be posting additional videos which will go into more depth. My books on autism acknowledge the myriad differences those with autism face. Autism is a spectrum disorder -- meaning that one may be anywhere along a contiuum from severe to mild. Thanks for your comments. I appreciate them.
