About 10 years ago, I wrote about Bridget’s autism diagnosis. How much I hated it, because I knew…. I just knew that if she was diagnosed with autism they doctors would stop looking at the why.

Thankfully, Bridget had a DOCTOR that looked at the whole child and knew that autism was just one diagnosis of many that made up my child.

I don’t write political posts but this Administration’s hypothesis that autism is a product of acetaminophen aka Tylenol is abhorrent to me. To have our president tell pregnant moms, for lack of a better phrase, to suck it up and not take FDA/CDC approved medication to stop a fever is ridiculous.

If acetaminophen is that dangerous it should not be on the shelves.

Then I remembered a former democratic president telling me that I did not need a mamogram.

Now I’ve had too many friends diagnosed with breast cancer.

Politicians should not be allowed to regulate healthcare.

They are not qualified.

We should be able to trust those who they put in charge, but very few administrations have actually put doctors on the front line (hell, Regan put Arnold in charge).

My child has autism

And 20 other health issues.

My mother’s instinct challenges and wins over politics.

But I should not have to feel guilty or fight politics as I am fighting for my child’s survival.
