Other children’s health stories we’ve been reading:
- The FDA recently approved the first drug designed to treat infantile spasms. Infants suffering from the disorder can have as many as 100 seizures per episode and multiple episodes a day.
- Mom Daily talks about a new study, which reveals that there’s no difference between children of same-sex couples and children of heterosexual parents. Do you think this will help same-sex parents adopt?
- At ParentDish, Julia Halewicz discusses the debate between parents and school administrators about autistic children bringing service dogs to school. Parents claim the dogs help keep their children calm and safe, while school officials challenge the medical necessity of these dogs.
There’s videos on you tube of a family who has a severely autistic son with epilepsy and self injurious behavior. You can go to you tube and punch in “autism and self injury” or go type in kgaccount in the search engine when you get to you tube. Very interesting. I didn’t know autism could be this serious.
It gets that serious only through neglect and no other way.
