Thank you for posting this Gigi! This stuff is scarey as heck, and trying to make changes is like taking baby steps, but my son and I are healing.

I watched Larry King last night. So sad to see what these families are going through. Even sadder to think that some of the children could be treated.
Found an interesting website recently. Lyme Induced Autism Foundation has excellent, thought-provoking info. www.lymeinducedautism.com
The following quote about % of children is shocking. I don't know who said it, when it was said, or if it is in an article somewhere - "1 out of 150 children have Autism Spectrum Disorder. Many of these children have also been diagnosed with Lyme Disease but most remain undiagnosed. It is estimated that up to 90% of children with autism may be also infected with Lyme Disease/Borrelia...."
First annual Lyme-Autism Connection Conference on June 23rd and 24th in Irvine, CA.
Website says "Dr. Charles Ray Jones - Keynote Speaker AND will be speaking at "Physician's Roundtable", training Sunday the 24th."
I hope that this group will contact Bill Cosby and make him aware of the connection between LD & Autism (in some children). It would be wonderful if he would attend the Conference.
His concern for autistic children & their families was obvious!!
