This advice can be downright dangerous.
Yes, you read that correctly. The keep-out-of-children’s-reach chemical is touted as autism’s remedy.Parents are advised to give their children bleach via mouth, enema, or bath. And if you think that’s bad, there’s more. Turpentine and the child’s own urine are other suggested cures. You don’t have to be a doctor to know this is terrible advice.In the United States, approximately one in every 59 children has an ASD diagnosis.
Parenting a child with special needs is incredibly challenging. The emotional, mental, and physical toll it takes on caregivers is ruthless. If I would just see a chiropractor and eat a no-carb diet, I wouldn’t be sick anymore. MLM company reps have offered me green shakes that look like grass clippings blended with mud and supplements supposedly containing bark from a rare tree in Brazil.
I have received equally as ridiculous suggestions for my child with Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, and speech delays. The best thing I can do, according to the Internet “experts,” is stop vaccinating, rub CBD oil on the child’s wrists three times a day, teach the child yoga, and make sure there’s absolutely no gluten, sugar, or dairy in my home.
