Is Mental Retardation Actually
Autism
Jean Genet, a neuro scientist
and autism survivor, believes that children who are labeled with
"mental retardation" might be suffering from autism
instead.
One day Genet's friend, Shirley,
was talking about a person named, Anthony. Genet had to stop
her and inquire, "who is Anthony?
"Oh, that's my son."
replied Shirley.
I said, "Shirley I've
known you for several years and I didn't know you even had a
son. Where is he at?"
With a softer voice Shirley
said, "Anthony lives in mental hospital. He is severely
retarded."
Curious, I asked for Shirley
to describe why she thought Anthony was retarded? She went on
for several minutes describing the complications during Anthony's
birth. How Anthony is 35 years old and has never spoken a word.
How she longed to hear a spoken word from him. How disconnected
he was from our reality. And how she always had a simple wish
just being recognized by Anthony as his mother.
The more Shirley describe Anthony's
condition the more she was describing a person who was suffering
from autism not retardation and I told her so. "Shirley
I don't think Gregory is retarded I believe he is autistic. His
disconnect from our reality. His not being able to speak. And
his inability to recognize your presence as his mother are all
signs of autism."
Shirley spoke with some hesitation,
"But the doctors always assumed that Anthony was mentally
retarded."
I said, "Shirley, the
medical community has always assumed that autism is a mental
disorder leading to retardation due to the outward appearance
of the child, when fact I believe autism is brought on by an
imbalance from the chemical interaction of the vaccinations received
at an early age."
"Well, I remember Anthony
being very sick after his vaccinations." said Shirley, "His
doctors were concerned with his high temperatures."
"Shirley, high temperatures
after receiving vaccinations are symptoms of a bad drug interaction
that seems to destroy the brain's ability to properly develop
speech, emotional balance, and mental focus, all symptoms of
autism.
"Well, there is little
I can do about it now." Shirley said with some frustration.
"Actually researchers,
of which I am one, believe that the brain uses certain brain
wave frequencies to repair its ability to develop speech, emotional
balance, and mental focus. This technology is presented on CD
disk that is listened to while going to sleep. The responses
have been quite promising.
To make a long story short
I was able to provide Shirley with this CD technology and Shirley
started having Anthony's caregiver play these CDs after Anthony
went to sleep at night. In about six months things began to change
for Anthony. He seemed to be more connected to his surroundings.
He began to unwrap himself from his arms and open up his physical
presence. Within a year Anthony was diagnosed to be autistic
instead of mentally retarded.
One day I received a call from
Shirley. There was an excitement in her voice as she said, "
They're moving Anthony into a living assisted facility with five
other men."
The transition from living
in a mental hospital for 35 years to moving into a home with
other men was overwhelming for Anthony. With Shirley's help he
adjusted and made some gains in interpersonal communications
with the other men but these gains were minimal to the connections
Anthony made one morning at 5 am.
Everyone was awakened from
their sleep with boisterous sounds of music. All five men walked
sleepily to the source of the music. They found themselves in
the living room standing in front of Anthony who was playing
perfect Chopin on the piano.
This is spectacular in itself
but to turn and speak to the boys in "old english"
was beyond belief. Why "old english"? We have no idea.
Maybe something Anthony brought from a past experience.
What is most important to understand
is that Anthony has always been able to speak, have emotional
contact and play the piano in his own reality. Once Anthony's
brain was repaired Anthony crossed over into our reality and
brought with him these talents, free of mental retardation, free
of autism.
