... in response to Genetic component to autism
  1. letsgocrazy letsgocrazy United States says:

    Go to Youtube: type in "Behaviorally Fragile Autistics"  on you tube.  This is a most interesting case of autism, self injurious behavior and seizures. Very complex, but not without hope. There are some very important points seen in videos that would help professionals and anyone working with this unique population. This case has had numerous MRI's. cat scans, genetic work ups, cbcs, etc..all to no availability. Other tests done: are mercury, lead, all negative. Seems like a case that is rooted in things yet to be DISCOVERED. According to mom, and evidence she presents in some videos, the child has had extensive medical and behavioral work ups, yet continues to stump the "experts." It's seems a case like this truly stumps us, because the fact is this type of autism requires round the clock care, analysis and daily acute and PRN medications to mitigate the self abuse that has plagued this autistic child for several years. A most interesting case.
