[QUOTE="Janna, post: 241882, member: 2737"] I came back, cringing, to make sure I wasn't under fire LMAO! I'm surprised. The article says: "Until recently, the Bilson household was under siege. Thirteen-year-old daughter Marissa, who has [URL="http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Autism"][B][U][COLOR=#004276]autism[/COLOR][/U][/B][/URL], ruled the roost, screaming shrilly until she got her way and enjoying special privileges that didn't extend to her siblings, Brittany, 15, and Brendan, 6. " She ruled the roost. She screamed and cried until she got her way, enjoying special privelages. Because she was Autistic? Did she do this prior to being "Autistic"? And, EXACTLY what kind of "Autism" did she have (it never says and that burns me). It goes on: "The family couldn't go out in public because of Marissa's tantrums, and they couldn't take her into stores because she'd shoplift what she wanted, or just scream until she got it. " I have to wonder how many years she just kept on screaming until she got what she wanted? This isn't Autism. This is learned behavior (or ODD or whatever you want to call it). It doesn't say it cures it...sorry, I just kinda sarcastically threw that out there. [/QUOTE]
