FWIW, in my early '50s I after sneering at "drugging our kids" for many
years, got to wondering if I actually had ADHD. According to two
different shrinks I met the profile so one of them prescribed Ritalin
for me.

That was a real eye-opener. For the first time in my life all my
affairs were in order, the bills were paid on time, the house was
spotless, I had time to make breakfast before work, I was arriving at
appointments on time, and I wasn't noticing any effects from the meds.
It wasn't like I thought it was where the meds just drug the kid into
lethargy.

Unfortunately the meds stopped working for me after a while.

So, with regard to ADHD anyway, I'd say that the decision to medicate,
if it were my kid, would be a slam-dunk, not to help the kid "fit in"
but because it makes it easier for him or her do do the things that he
or she wants to do in life.

However, _listen_ to the kid--if he's not happy with what the meds are
doing to him, he's likely overmedicated.

nobody knows what causes autism. The Great Big Vaccination Scare was the
result the work of a charlatan and a fraud (and dopey people on *oprah*.

as you say, it's a crap shoot. i wouldn't waste your time worrying about
it, as it affects six-tenths of one percent of one percent of births (and
that's for all autism spectrum kids, not full-blown autism).

I am sure meds ARE necessary at times, but they also seem to be
used on kids who previously would have been regarded as fairly normal.

Parents stupid enough to not vaccinate might be moving evolution forward
in favor of intelligence except for the herd immunity feature. One of
my grand kids might die because some moron pulls their kid out of the
standard vaccination program.

I get why declining vaccinations need to be allowed but there absolutely
need to be public consequences when a child gets sick because some moron
opted out. It needs to be at least as high risk to opt out as it is to
take the vaccine.

And I agree - The person who faked the data in the study should be shown
videos of children dying. At his trial. And the jury should see the
videos as well. Because tha'ts what he did when he faked the data.
