Response to If they can treat symptoms adequately and accurately, I am

 
Since you're responses are often so far off the topic, I don't have time for them all - but here's a couple:

>>We already have terms like High-Functioning and Moderately Autistic, albeit they aren't used consistently>>
That is because a child w ASd has or may have "Splinter skills". He may be very poor in spoken lingo, but may be very good in playing non-verbal games or putting together a complex puzzle! My son has varied skills in difft domains. But if you see his general adaptive skills to his envt, it is not upto the chronological age. He is like a two yr old in a 11 yr old body!

Splinter skills and functioning are two different things. It refers to the depth of disability. It says nothing about splinter skills.


>>it should be said the child has autistic-like symptoms from vaccine injury>>
Only if you can prove it in the court of Law!

That's insane. You're into this "court of law" thing. People used to be tried as witches, and a court of law said they were witches. That didn't make them witches though. Even a lawyer will tell you that just because something isn't proven doesn't mean it's not true.

>>Say a child had a limp. You would treat the child very differently if the child's limp was caused by a sprained ankle than if it were caused by bone cancer, right?>>
To certain extent, yeah. But a limp is just a limp, no matter what the cause may be from.

You missed the whole point. A limp ISN'T just a limp - it's a symptom. If it's caused by cancer and you consider it "just a limp" you just killed a child. You know why women die of ovarian cancer? Because the symptoms mimic other things, so doctors tell a woman to "take Advil" or "relax" or "it's in your head" until the symptoms become so bad, that they finally figure out what it is, and then it's too late. Gilda Radner had all the money in the world, but it couldn't save her. The same with vaccine-injured kids - lots of them have signs that they shouldn't be vaccinated - early food intolerances, family history, frequent ear infections, etc - but doctors ignore the signs.

I got a joke recently - what is the difference between G-d and a doctor? G-d doesn't think he's a doctor!
