The first feeling that you have when you arrive to Denmark is this feeling of well-being and comfort. Indeed, Denmark and the other Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, and Iceland) have a high level of happiness and well-being. They are known for their society with particular values: public-spiritedness, political life, lifestyles, system of social benefits, exceptional educational system, assistances to people with special needs, … They move on a bicycle, sort out their waste (up to nine different trash cans) and make "ecological" efforts thanks to ecological constructions, the use of renewable energies or the recycling of waste. Why did I go to Denmark within the framework of my work on autism? - First of all, Princess Marie of Denmark is...

I have always  loved the world, to discover other cultures, other horizons. By a report of the BBC and CNN, I learnt that Ethiopia had the only center on the autism of all east Africa, the Joy Center. I thus decided to go there. After a long flight, I finally arrived to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. It was Sunday. To my first surprise, the internet was not everywhere. I took advantage then thus of the nature in a flowery garden. On Mondays mornings, I saw children dressed in uniform who went away at the school. In the afternoon, in Ethiopia, we can see children playing in the street. In the center for autism, I noticed several moments when the children were in ...

It has been five years since I have been using my cat "Princesse" (say it with a French accent) as element of therapy. She is nice little one Siamese. The Siameses are known for their almost human character. Furthermore, as she is a female, Princesse is very stuck on me. We are inseparable.... All my pupils know that I love this cat. Moreover, my pupil Marie who is dyslexic painted me the board " Pricesse "(without "n") posted on my profile. My pupil Sofia which has a disorder of  attention drew me " Princess in all her states ". (The drawing set several hours and is also shown on my profile). The drawing is a help to concentration. In spite of her dyslexia, Marie is also writing me an attractive story of Prin...

In frame of my work on autism, I have noticed that certain parents complained by seeing their child declining further to a vaccination. In this article, it is a question of observing what the authorities of the public health of my French neighbors impose to parents. Because indeed, indirectly, I would like to make you think about the practice of vaccines in your own country.

1. Vaccines are not all available in France

A single type of vaccine is at present available in France. It is about some hexavalent vaccine stemming from laboratories Pasteur ( Hexyon) or by GSK  (Infarix Hexa) (which inoculates against five diseases) supposed to avoid diphtheria, tetanus and polio as well as pertussis (whooping cough) and ...

      

1. Abnormalities  of  metabolism

Defeat Autism Now has defused that the autistic children are carrier of anomalies at the level of their metabolism. Where from the possible explanation of benefactions of various supplements and minerals as well as the approaches other than behavioral. We speak moreover about the triangle of  autism, witness of a connection between the digestive system, the immune system and the central nervous system. This triangle establishes the existence of a link between problems of physical order and behavior disorders. Dr Michael Gershon moreover said in his book that “intestines are a second brain”. His se...

These last years, we have learnt that the human brain answers to experiences. In a very few days, a new skill causes measurable effects on the cerebral functioning: certain regions of the brain answer to new stimulus. The first five years are crucial in term of learning for the child. Experiences stimulate the construction of neuronal regions, which allows to improve  skills and automatisms required for the execution of an action. So, we can say that experiences model the brain and, on base of our common behavior,  neuronal networks of our brain are developing themselves. These networks improve response modes to the most frequently met stimuli. Experience made of rewards and reactions of the environment is also a part of this process. From the first yea...
