ACTION

Please do not be put off by the poetry.  I put this in as a thought provoking exercise. Explore all the things that might affect autism.  Then after you read the poem go to the NIH Sites and get free publications that explain all the poem touches on. Autism, like cancer, has so many threads and variables it is impossible to find one specific cause.  That is why we must explore all threads.

Autism? Simple answers? No! Here is
Sandra’s try at an explanation.

Autism has good graces.
Visit upon us to bless upon.

Doesn’t mean one shouldn’t ask,
“Why? What? When? Where and how?”

God could have intended
You being intentioned in the unhinging of the process.

Vaccination’s that is the key!
Say many with adamation!

I agree for them it could be,
A factor, insult that hit on.

Pharmacist in me says, the study was too small to make it a hallmark.
Flip the coin, drug makers threw around money, plus shouted out!!

Next, a group says environment
Causes problems no doubt.

Environmental insult.
Yep, that is why my child is shut into autism.

Remember here, environmental can be
From chemicals & diseases stalking inside to make their stand.

From, things like maybe Grandpa’s Agent Orange,
To a baby’s hospital stay due to RSV!

May yet wave
The Genetics Flag.

Throw into this mix, I will; smaller families, often an only child
That insists to be totally plugged into away from others.

Oh, how simple it would be
One answer, if could only twas or could be.

Yet, still I want to pose
Older parents, sperms and eggs as a contribution variable.

Not a reason not to conceive!
But to be aware more defects, mutations with age do occur.

Can one really say,
One cause is for autism?

Look at cancer! Common threads
There, still many different scenarios.

Genetics predispose, environmental assaults,
Turns on gene with a society that is ripe in culture and age of parents?

Yet, it matters!
No, it doesn’t matter!

Sound so crazy?
Yes, to help. No because we love and deal with it no matter what!

We learn what can and must be done.
But better realize the blame game must stop.

One answer might be cause in 1% of cases ( just me thinking),
Reality is autism is complex.

Complex, autism really is!
Yet, then is simple too.

Reaching out is what I want to do.
Remember right answers lead to correct therapy n treatments!

Wrong guesses and blame may only
Lead to burying data and wrong wizardly haphazard disasters.

Science, true keeps an open mind!
God is the first and Ultimate Scientist.

Together are we able
To do and can do n be our best.

In some ways the riddle of autism
Is not to be solved!

God means us to be
Who we are as he made us!

Change is something
All of us must do.

Adapting to you and others
Is being kind.

Let us not get behind
Stay in the forefront.

Doing out best to unlock the riddle
As much in prayer; God intends us to do!

I am sure by helping
We learn God’s lessons.

Helping those with autism
I bet could be a society improvement, God intends us to do.

No answer complete do I have;
Except my son is a blessing some may say in disguise!
God we will accept your answers.
Thank you God! Amen!

This post will not be long.  First, let me give you this site url in case you choose to read no futher.  You can wander around and see what is important to you.

http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/autism-spectrum-disorders-pervasive-developmental-disorders/index.shtml#part8

This site is marvelous at giving basic information on autism.  There is a free "Parent's Guide to Autism Spectrum Disorder's."

On the site you will find headings listed below;

• What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?
• Causes
• Signs and Symptoms
• Who is At Risk
• Diagnosis
• Treatments
• Living With
• Clinical Trials

There are more publications, plus they are available in spanish.  

I hope this is helpful; my goal is to inform with correct information.  There is so much misinformation out there.

Go Check out the government information     

his is going to read like a list.  Please forgive me because I want to be informational.  

I want to showcase my information to readers will get an idea of what I have to offer.

• PDF (Very fitting for Informatics) registries-linking-records-methods-draft-131107.pdf  You should be able to find it by putting that in a search engine.  The title is “Linking Data for Health Services Research; A Framework and Guidance for Researchers.”  This should be relevant to all hanging around the informatics on health.  Plus, those that want to learn about the information.
• http://www.hhs.gov/digitalstrategy/mobile/platforms/iphone This is a link to 52 phone apps on health put out by our government.  From pregnancy, quitting smoking apps, mental health, to primary care provider help and more.

• Directory of Health and Human Services 

  http://directory.psc.gov/employee.htm  

           Here is a trick. When you are trying to track down an employee put only 3 or 4 letters of the first name and last name.  You may have to play around with it a little but I promise you can find the email address and more. 

  Power that is brokered by the agencies through rules and regulations is staggering.  Change is never fast because of all the firewalls, roadblocks and hiding that go on.  Part of my mission is to break this process down.  Call it an informational enzymatic digestive action working on cyberspace at trans-dimensional warp speed and Scottie in heaven is working on the engines to help us in the endeavor.   So pass it on and let’s take back what so many, including my father, brothers and more have fought to preserve in the form of freedom; even those that are warped with no sense of duty, respect, courtesy or moral aptitude have a right to it.

• https://www.dana.org/  ” Your gateway to information about the brain and brain research.”
• http://phil.cdc.gov/phil/home.asp  Public Health Image Library (PHIL)   Photographs, Illustrations, Multimedia Files.  I do not know if all the images are free to use in newsletters are not.  It does come from a government source.  It is  a good source of images to use in healthcare documents.
• http://model.tbinrc.com/newsletters  Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems where there is information for people with brain injury; from fact sheets, caregiver help to on and oTBI Today Newsletter

• http://www.cast.org Go to the menu under learning tools and you will see many wonderful parent helpers; book builder, science writer tutor and strategy tutor on how to help with study skills.

•  A good short brief newsletter to stay up to date for primary care family health care doctors is AAFP smartbrief. “News for family physicians and healthcare providers.  

 This was a mixed bag of informatics.  I hope this is useful to those I want to serve. 

Please checkout kasss.org!  Let us know what you would like to see in healthcare today. 

For those of you with smart phones there is a Congress app. This app allows you to track what bills are on the table, and what bills have been recently passed. It also allows the user to enter thier zip code and track the actions of thier reps. It also gives contact info for your reps. There is a long list of house, senate and joint commities.

If this is the way they are going to be, I am going to have to start boycotting them.

That means no clicking on Google ads (they get paid for that)

and no more searches with their engine.

I will use this instead.

I dont put much stock in Huffington Post most of the time, but read this article:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/adam-green/breaking-google-goes-evil_b_676021.html

You may or may not agree with Alex Jones, and if you dont, you probably dont know him very well or listen to his program. I know Alex, I met him personally years ago and have followed his work - whether you agree with him or not, you have to agree that censoring his opinion IS evil. It is anti - first amendment, though in this case it isnt the Government playing big brother, its the new technorati, the globally oriented info-corporations.

This is the new face of the NWO. Corporate NGO's who will assist the government to suppress the opinions they do not like or threaten their power. Wake Up.
