My sister told me that her colleague, a Vietnamese lady, has a child who is already forty months old and he is still not talking like a child his age would. He is not born dumb but his development is excruciatingly slow. She fears that he may be autistic.
I read on the web that Dr. Paul Offit wrote a book called "Autism's False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure" where he writes about autism in-depth, an illness that has baffled the parents of affected children even in today's modern medical sciences.
Dr. Paul Offit is actually a pediatrician who specializes in infectious disease and vaccinations and his perspective in the book is on the relation between autism and vaccinations.
I hope that the child of the Vietnamese lady is not autistic! But if he is, I hope that this book will help her understand autism better! Let's keep our fingers crossed!
