'Spellers' has been touted as a game changer for autistic kids. However, one mom told me it is for those with money. It requires a huge time commitment and is expensive. So, many kids who so deserve this help are left out. This protocol should be provided free of charge. No idea how that could happen but want to bring this vital issue to a broader audience.

Time commitment, yes. But drawing the alphabet on a piece of paper is about as low tech/inexpensive as it comes. Getting a trained facilitator is expensive, but educating yourself and putting in the effort is free to all. Schools do not believe in this method. (Yet) It is the burden/delight of the caregiver/parent and the child.

Thank you.

that training still looks like A MASSIVE time/effort commitment. AFTER you know what you are doing. certainly not a 'drop everything' to do it for working parents who need to pay the bills & put food on the table.

I haven't seen anyone 'draw the alphabet on a piece of paper' to do S2C. everyone I have talked to said they needed the trained practitioner for at least the initial introduction (which depending on the effected person, could still mean many hours)

if there's a training manual or training video available for parents/caregiver/teachers, I have not seen any reference to it. contacting the people that formally do S2C just gives you a list of practitioners.

then there's the assumption that the effected person CAN in fact, comprehend written language... AND the assumption that there is not a more serious eye/focus issue that needs to be addressed with targeted vision therapy.

“Assume competence” is Soma’s mantra. www.halo-soma.org.

You’ll never know until you try. I invite caregivers to try.

I think 'assume competence' is awesome. but I'm also okay with admitting that limitations DO exist. (both for parent AND disabled kid)

I've spent untold hours and different methods, attempting to teach my son concepts like subtraction (but he gets addition).

he's verbal but not conversational.

when there's major deficits in motor planning, how long do we spend attempting to teach riding a bike, when its only frustrating and clearly not fun for him.

(RPM is not the same thing as S2C. similar but not interchangeable. I've watched demonstrations of RPM and found it slightly incomprehensible. one of my son's biggest issues IS being 'prompt dependent' so RPM would end up being me 'telling him' what to say. really and truly, it would)

Autism is caused by aluminum and childhood vaccines.

Dr Chris Exley has explained that silicate in Fiji water (some other water has silicate also) binds with aluminum in brain and body, to remove aluminum

Of course you have to eat and drink less aluminum also.

Dennis N crouse has many good data points, here is 1

Liberty for all,

In addition to drinking Fiji water,

Also eat less aluminium... here is link to sources of aluminium

Shredded cheese is loaded with aluminum! Why? Because shredded cheese clumps together and if you spray the shredded cheese with aluminum it does not clump together.

Frozen pizza is loaded with aluminum.

So is baby formula.

And

incase you do not know the mechanism

the aluminum in the mitochondria of brain cells, prevents the brain cell from converting glucose to ATP.

ATP is fuel for a brain cell like gasoline is fuel for a car.

However, brain cells can run on either glucose or ketones.

Since autism, Alzheimer’s, MS, Parkinson’s are all diseases caused by aluminum in mitochondria of brain cells,

Treatment would be running those brain cells on ketones.

A way to start is to eat coconut oil since it is 50% medium chain triglycerides MCT. MCT is immediately converted to ketones.

Dr Mary newport explains this in this video => Called

Unconventional but unconventional therapy tor Alzheimer’s treatment

https://youtu.be/Dvh3JhsrQ0w?si=qfCNilvdDrLyF-z6

You have heard of ketogenic diet, where instead of running on carbs, you run on ketones.

On utube watch dr Eric berg,,,

He goes into detail s about keto

But not aluminum, nor coconut oil,,,

They are all so heavily censored and cancelled they dare not put the 3 data point’s together in public

Good luck

autism is multifactorial. aluminum is, of course a HUGE factor. but so is lead and mercury and toxic pesticides and genetic predispositions... and... and...

Dr Exley is an amazing human being. he was recently booted out of his research position at Oxford (I believe). too much inconvenient knowledge for the ptb.

Expand full comment

Dr Chris exley, has dissected brains if people that died from autism. Their brains had the highest levels of aluminum.... even though they were younger then brains he dissected of people that died from Alzheimer’s

... so how do young people with autism get som much aluminum in their brains ?

Answer.=> childhood vaccines inject aluminum into bloodstream

Expand full comment

so obvious its crazy to deny, yet the PTB certainly still do

Expand full comment

The powers that be

Are ok with baby formula loaded with levels of aluminum

That is unsafe for adults

At 15 minutes

Infant formula, baby food, is high in aluminum

I purchased a virtual ticket but don’t see how to access the summit virtually?

Expand full comment

Just FYI, there was no link provided with the virtual ticket. The contact email and phone number has not responded to my questions. This 'virtual viewing' event was a a complete waste of my money and time trying to access something that seems to have no access points on the website and none on the 'ticket'. Just FYI - as an organization providing a 'virtual' event they have a lot of room for improvement. User Exeperience matters - UX is worth spending time and money for an internet educational service.

This was my experience also. Saying that I’m disappointed is a vast understatement. How could this oversight have happened? Refunds are in order. I just sent Autism Health an email at: <info@autismhealth.com>. After this debacle, I’m now wondering why the email address is .com rather than .org.

....because it is a for-profit group probably?

I did get a zoom link sent to me and a Dropbox link for the presentation slides - in case you didn't get even that much. email me for the links if you want - jenniferdepew@jenniferdepew.com

The conference organizers responded to me and 10 other STRANGERS on the same group text, and provided the zoom link.
