Some idiot talk show guy who doesn't know poop from apple butter said autism is not "real" becuase there is no TEST to prove it... syndromes, he says, are not "real".

And what's worse is she took that to add to her repertoire of reasons why she doesn't fully accept Luke's diagnosis - some 2 bit guy on the radio who likes the sound of his own voice but knows NOTHING about ANYTHING! Rather than ME who I've spent more hours the last 6 years researching and trying to understand this than I could ever recount, out of love for my son. So yah, if you can't tell, it made me mad...

I hate to wish ill on anyone but one day of having to think carefully about his food and then an unexpected attack of cramps and bloating so severe that his head spins and he breaks out in a cold sweat and waves of nausea until he's quite certain he WILL pass out and actually wishes he COULD so it would be over... followed the next day or so by unceasing diarrhea that actually DOES make him vomit... follwed the NEXT day by such exhaustion that he can't function... I wonder if he'd think THAT was real.

Back to my old point, "Those who mind don't matter and those who matter, don't mind..." The wording isn't exact for this situation but the gist of it would be, these people don't matter... we know better and aren't we grateful to be more accepting of others since we have a clue what it is like to suffer from a misunderstood condition?

Im not gona even waste my energy letting the thought of that stress me out....can u believe people who are meant to be educated and in this day and age seem to want to be so ignorant towards things! Ridiculous! And like everyones said..let him live with it for a day let alone a week and see how he feels then....I would never judge something like that if I hadnt experienced it myself....who is he to say we dont have a 'real' illness....so its normal to have several painful bowel movements a day, or none whatsoever for weeks...and constant pain and tiredness because of it...yea whatever if thats what he thinks!

Grrrr atleast we all know the truth and like michelle says....he doesnt really matter so his opinion means nothing to me or any of us for that matter....what an idiot!
