I believe that the rising diagnosis in autism is caused by two factors: the fact that the neuro-psycholigical community has created a "spectrum" of inexplicable behaviours and disorders that fall within the "autism" category and the level of awareness of these criteria by parents and medical professionals. I also believe that autism is a neurological disorder caused by a chromosomal defect which is random. However, there have been studies that show that the age of the father at the time of conception may have an impact. However, this is one of many factors that "may" play a role. I believe it's just one of those things where an exact cause cannot be pinpointed, due to environmental and a host of other factors that interplay with one another during the development of a fetus' neurolgical system. Furthermore, it is my opinion that, based on a simple understanding of human biology, the correlation between vaccines with a mercury based preservative and autism may be due to a particular fetus' susceptibility to it. That is why it cannot be proven as a factor in every case of autism.Coolattymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604313093927833224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1223434788109890427.post-33548134330298532402007-01-26T23:04:00.000-05:002007-01-26T23:04:00.000-05:001.

From what I see, you have the respect and love of your family, which is, what I feel, the most important and real thing a person could have.<br />2. On American Idol, I agree with Coolrizz. It's funny and quite entertaining. You should at least give it a chance; you've proven to be an pretty open-minded kind of guy.<br />3. On Iraq. What can I say? I believe that if the U.S. does not take some kind of pro-active position in that part of the world, at this time, we're setting ourselves up for alot of HOMELAND bloodshed. Let the people who signed up to fight, fight it in the middle east, instead of risking a terror war on our own soil. That's all I have to say about that.<br />4. I do not believe in political labels either. If I did, I would probably be an Anarchist, because I don't trust the motives of ANY organized governmnt, but I do believe in freedom and protecting it at any cost; even if it means suspending some of those freedoms temporarily to ensure the safety of Americans at home and abroad. <br />5. I started drinking diet soda at a young age because my mom was diabetic and that was the only kind of soda in our house. If I drink "sugar" soda, it makes me sick. I don't drink it to avoid calories.<br />6. Being a lawyer is not who I am, it's what I do. Being a lawyer does not define me. I could be anything I want, if I believe in it and desire to achieve a goal. Not all goals in life are set in stone. People change, and so do their goals.<br />7. On Disneyland, Rich and I went there on our honeymoon and had the greatest time. We went because he had never been there as a child. We were young (in our 20s) when we were married, so we could still appreciate the fun of it. We will eventually take our children, once. But I agree with you on exposing children to different types of fun adventures.<br /><br />8. If my daughter gets a scholarship for cheerleading, I would be very proud. That doesn't mean she has to be a Cheerleader for the rest of her life. It builds character, like any other "sport". Besides, cheerleaders support the athletes that go on to make America's past-times what they are today. I don't see anybody complaining about being a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. By the way, you don't have to be "dumb" to be a Cheerleader. You can be an "A" student and have enough pride to be "loud and proud" for your school (not to mention VERY flexible-tee hee). I was a cheerleader in Junior High and High School,(while working the part-time jobs mentioned above) and am very proud of it. We won many competitions and it's not easy; maybe you should try it.<br /><br />I was too busy to respond this afternoon (I'm quite verbose), but now you have one more response.Coolattymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604313093927833224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1223434788109890427.post-31462496024784790542007-01-26T15:32:00.000-05:002007-01-26T15:32:00.000-05:00Hmmm, where should i start :) jaja. 1. You should...Hmmm, where should i start :) jaja. 1. You should feel great about reaching 50...half of ur life is over jaja.<br />2. You really should watch American Idol, its funny and entertaining watching people make a fool of themselves on national TV. Plus u get to listen to some real talent or not.<br />3. I couldn't agree more on the Iraq subject...complete waste of lives and money and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional!!<br />4. I agree that we shouldn't go by political labels....If Giuliani runs for president, I would vote for him instead of Clinton and I consider myself a democrat.<br />5. I drink Diet Coke for the taste not the calories!! jajajaja<br />6. When I told my family that I would like to become a lawyer they said I wasn't mean or greedy enough...:(<br />7. Down with Disneyland!!! jajaja some things you should only do once in your lifetime then you gotta move on.<br /><br />"That's all I have to say about that" jaja...well at least u know people are reading ur blog.CoolRizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547725691821130934noreply@blogger.com
