Evan has very mild Autism, like most with mild forms could have perfectly normal life with it . But Autistic with severe forms may never speak, some may never toilet train no matter how hard you try and spend money on Jenny McCarthy's books , older kids with severe Autism get harder lives become. Jenny Mc Carthy doesn't know anything about living with Atistic with severe forms child . I did bought her book , but it was total waist.

@gonefishin2009 You make over 3 alternate usernames and spam the same fucking message over and over, and you think people will start believing it? You're an idiot, and a disgusting human being. Even still, I'm glad that at least you're transparent about your bullshit.

@Xadreos, there are naturopathic doctors that specialize in reversing autism. They focus on diet and removing heavy metals from their brain and tissues and they continually monitor with blood tests and urine analysis for heavy metals and they document the recoveries coinciding with a decline in heavy metals detected.

There is real hope for CURE! Recent Harvard research with skin cell study in mice, the advancements may come to human beings in near future, possibly single digit years (not decades!) Please pray, hope, petition govts/politicians, & donate to any legitimate scientific skin cell research organization that you can:

"From skin cells to motor neurons

Researchers find success with direct cellular reprogramming"

@33tatyana That's very true. While she brought awareness to the condition, her message doesn't help those far more affected than Evan is. People tend to think all kids can be "cured" and that just just not true.

@shadowspark It's really sad. Drowning a page in spam doesn't do anything any good. Why aren't they asking questions? Why aren't they citing studies? Instead it's all "the guvmint gonna git ya" - so stupid.

They were trying to get this comment 5 pages back:

"Tell me, what made you listen to McCarthy's methods on curing cancer rather than the demented homeless man defacting in the bushes, they both have the same credentials regarding medical knowledge."
