Donna Williams discusses autism, identity & dissociation on youtube. This is very interesting, given Williams has for years marketed herself as “autistic.” How can someone be autistic and now be discovered to be a multiple personality disorder? Something isn’t right here. Nor was it right in Jenny McCarthy’s case, as some experts are saying her son was never autistic. He allegedly had “laundau kleffner syndrome.” That explains why after he received seizure medication, he slowly recovered. McCarthy didn’t cure her son of autism. He never had autism. I think we need to be very careful. Very careful indeed of believing ever story about autism until we SEE and examine it. Notice McCarthy’s books are extremely vague. Notice Williams are hyperintellectual, as almost a way of pushing the person investigating her claims away, with all her intellectual jargon and psychological babble. McCarthy also uses humor to deflect from the truth about her son not being autistic. She’s tried to reinvent herself lately. Amazing the fraud and outright deception of people using and abusing the autism label for profit. Williams probably doesn’t do it on purpose, she’s nuts. McCarthy however is a whole different story.

Great site. Keep it up. A good example of severe to profound autism is found on you tube under kgaccount. Warning: disturbing behavior. Or type in severe autism in youtube search engine. You tube also shows autistic savants, so you can compare and contrast.

My sister had a son who is now about 30 , up untill when he was about 2 yr’s old he was a perfectly healthy baby. Then things changed, we thought he had fallen down a set of stairs (3 flights of steep stairs in an apartment building). Over the years we have heard doctors tell us how he has Autism and there is nothing they can do.
I as his uncle am proud to say that he has a productive part in society because of peoples understanding of Autism, And Iam grateful for sites like yours that bring attention to this important issue . THANKS. well done.
