- 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?

There’s videos on you tube of a family who has a severely autistic son with epilepsy and self injurious behavior.

It gets that serious only through neglect and no other way.
