  1. Bingo! The changes in the brain result from the neglect. Autism is NOT genetic.

  2. Yes, and institutionalised children are DEPRIVED of emotional engagement.

  3. On the contrary, that theory is absolute bunk. Emotional neglect absolutely causes developmental delay (ASD type behaviours).

  4. I also, have seen this same problem over many years. The neglect is always there, somewhere. It can be very well hidden .. even to the point that caring and responsible relatives aren't aware. Because the child might be very well cared for in every other respect, no one notices that Mom just doesn't really engage with the child .. eye to eye, and in a very focused way ... regularly throughout the day, every day. It could be something as invisible as the child not being breastfed (women who breastfeed are proven to be more engaged with the infant), or baby being put in a room alone from birth (instead of co-slept in parents' room). All these little 'disconnections' can go under the radar, but absolutely contribute to developmental delays.

  5. On the contrary, it's these very important studies which have been 'neglected' due to political correctness. So the root cause of developmental delays (maternal neglect) goes on unabated, and more kids suffer. Brilliant.

  6. Irrelevant. There are ample very good studies of the impact of neglect on development. And it doesn't have to be complete neglect. Even children who've had every possible physical need met, can be emotionally neglected by a detached mother. The science is VERY solid on this. The bad science is happening now .. when we pretend developmental delays aren't a result of environment. And who pays for that lie? The kids, that's who.

  7. OMG, seriously? Yes, they have autism .. that's very obvious. But it has nothing to do with vaccines. It's a result of emotionally distant carers.

  8. When we accept that this is the root cause of ASD's, real progress will happen.

  9. What are you afraid of? This is just one of many studies on the impact of neglect on development. They ALL proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, that maternal emotional neglect has a huge impact on children. It creates an array of behaviours now referred to as 'autism'. Denial serves our own egos, and just ensures kids keep suffering.

  10. This is incredibly important information. How can we possibly progress in our understanding of developmental delays, when we refuse to consider all possible causes?

  11. It's not the kind of neglect you're probably thinking about. It's EMOTIONAL neglect. A failure of the primary carer to provide daily, constant, very focused eye-to-eye engagement. The failure to provide that fundamental engagement has increased dramatically in the past couple of generations. Many reasons why .. but failure to breastfeed is a big one (breastfeeding results in much more focus from the mother, since no one else can do it, and because breastfed babies feed more often than formula fed babies). Putting babies in a separate bedroom is another. And then there's just plain old emotional laziness. Women who don't talk to and closely interact with infants, in the belief that they don't 'have to' until the kid is a toddler. Another iteration is women who just can't adjust to their role of absolute responsibility, and basically shut down as a means of distancing themselves mentally. They go through the motions of physical care, but find it difficult to focus on the child mentally/emotionally.

  12. Sorry, but that's BS. Ask yourself why you need to believe it's genetic? Do you have a vested interest in protecting someone from taking responsibility for their child's situation? Maybe yourself? It runs in families because it's a result of inherited BEHAVIOUR, not inherited genes. Take a genetically different infant, and raise them with a dysfunctional carer, and they will develop symptoms. Take the infant from the bad family, and raise them with focused, emotionally available parents, and they will not develop symptoms. The brain is PLASTIC, and is altered chemically by stress hormones and other chemical insults. The damage caused by emotional neglect is profound .. and yes, it can go on repeating itself for generations. That's why it's so very freaking important that we're honest about the cause of that damage.
