I am a parent of an adult with autism spectrum disorder, and mild mentally challenged. It has been a rough road, and long journey, but we remained strong, and did a great job at improving in many aspects with the disability, including behaviors, reformed and limited the pharmaceutical medications, and huge side negative affects. Currently we are doing bio-meds, and detoxification of mercury, gluten free, casseine free diet, dietary supplements, and natural vitamins. I am involved with generation rescue, as a rescue angel, a volunteer representative for unlocking autism. I have been researching and have tons of information, and resources to help those in need. I will share any positive and negative results of treatment, and options! My daughter and angel of light has given me strength and power to over come anything along the path. My heart goes out to helping millions of other families, so if it is only helping one a day, that is doing tons of good. Allowing people to vent, giving support, providing useful information, which is a blessing and that is my goal along the journey, providing my time each and everyday to be there for any and all in need !
God Bless To All

NORTHVALE, N.J. - Teachers at a Bergen County school that serves
autistic children are giving birth to an unusually high number of
autistic children, a researcher said.
Dr. Lawrence Rosen, medical adviser at the Deirdre Imus Environmental
Center for Pediatric Oncology, said there appears to be an autism
cluster at St. Anthony's school in Northvale, which serves children
with autism and other learning disabilities.
He said he suspects it's because of an environmental problem and that
the center, which started the inquiry, wants tests of air, water and
soil at the school, The Record of Bergen County reported for
Wednesday's newspapers.
However, preliminary findings from air quality tests done for the
Northern Valley regional school district have not found anything
unusual at the school, according to an assistant superintendent. No
abnormalities were found during inspections by the state health
department and by an engineering firm hired by the Archdiocese of
Newark, which owns the property.
The initial study included interviews with 24 current or former
school employees who had children either while they worked at the
school or since then. Their 42 offspring included 24 with
developmental disorders _ 10 with autism.
Superintendent Jan Furman pointed out that Rosen's conclusions were
based on a small sampling of employees. Only 46 of the 515 employees
at St. Antony's and other district facilities responded to a letter
sent to them before the interviews were conducted.
Furman noted that Dr. Walter Zahorodny, an assistant professor of
pediatrics at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey,
has said the study's limited scope means it may be premature to
declare an autism cluster at St. Anthony's.
Zahorodny heads the New Jersey Autism Study, part of a multistate
study that found one in every 150 eight-year-olds in the country has
some degree of autism. In New Jersey, the figure is one of every 94
children.
