For children, I mean. And it occurred inadvertently, I suspect. But I believe this injustice happens all the time when it comes to children’s health and wellness. What the media covers really changes how we think and feel about protecting and parenting our children. The media’s effort to inform and educate — just like that of physicians and nurses, social workers and ancillary staff, researchers, and students — can get lost and misconstrued. ABC worked hard to inform us of the accusations against Dr. Wakefield with a two-minute introduction by Dr. Richard Besser, a pediatrician and medical editor/correspondent. Yet when the interview was over, ...

(Photo: Good Morning America) “Honey, I don’t love you anymore, and I don’t know if I ever did” are words that must sting coming from a spouse after 20-odd years of betrothal. But when Laura Munson’s husband told her exactly that, she forged ahead, unconvinced. The Montana-based writer’s new book, This Is Not The Story You Think It Is chronicles the tale she first told in The New York Times (to overwhelming reader response – the comments came in at a rate that crashed the comments section). Her husband told her he wanted to leave, she didn’t believe him, and through the power of belief, she seems to have saved her marriage. On today’s Good Morning America, George Stephanopoulos interviewed Munson, an...

In the video below, Pasternak waxes poetic about their past with host George Stephanopoulos. “…We went to the Galapagos, we went to Machu Picchu, we sailed the Nile, rode horses in Egypt, paddled the Amazon … and on those trips we shared everything. We shared excitement, we shared a room, we shared a bed”. They also shared insider trading info that landed Martha in the slammer. Oops! Pasternak misses her friendship with Martha, but not as much as she hopes her book rakes it in.

The UW scientists are looking for 84 six-month-old infants from California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Nevada and Alaska who have an older sibling who has been diagnosed with autism. They also need 34 infants with typically developing older brothers or sisters. Each child will be scanned three times over two years.

Camp has four children aged 6 to 10, the youngest of whom has “severe autism”: The Camps already have dealt with the great stress brought on by the treatment and therapy for Aaron’s condition and, at times, their medicals bill are too much to bear. “Ralph [Hanahan] definitely had a soft spot in his heart for Aaron,” Lorrie Camp said.

With millions of readers around the world, and additional coverage by Good Morning America, the Zapi is getting some major press this holiday season.

Raising Charlie has certainly been a transforming and affirming experience for me, though somehow saying “autism made a woman out of me” doesn’t have quite that, ah, ring. While taking care of Charlie has changed me a lot, one lesson I’ve learned over and over is that much that I’ve previously learned—like how to play the piano—has been hugely important in being Charlie’s mother. Anyways, while contemplating “what makes a man,” autism, fatherhood, parenthood, mom-hood, gen...

It was live and lasted for only about five minutes. Mr. Roberts focused on the notion of “curing” autism: Who wouldn’t want this? Why not support research into the causes of autism? I talked more about acceptance and hope and education—about how it’s not about finding some magic pill, but that, through careful, individualized, and compassionate teaching and understanding, autistic children can learn, grow, and thrive. I was asked if it’s just a matter, then, of waving a white flag. I asked for the question to be repeated: Mr. Roberts said something like, so is it just, surrender, just deal with...

I turned around to see it and saw YOU. While it’s possible my dad was referring to seeing a framed photo of me at various stages of my life (though the majority of the photos in my parents’ house are now of a certain boy, their only grandson), my dad did indeed mean that he’d seen me on tv.
