The explosion in autism really astounds me. It is frightening! It certainly makes a couple fearful of having a child. To realize that so many families in my vicinity are affected by autism, Asperger’s and mental retardation really disturbs me.
For one, we know that a family into which a child is born who has Down’s syndrome will in all likelihood divorce. We don’t know why, but couples who have a Down’s syndrome child usually divorce and end their marriage. That does not help with the stability of society and makes marriage precarious.
Likewise, I fear similar outcomes for married couples who have children with autism or Asperger’s Syndrome. While I know of no studies on the prevalence of divorce due to children born with birth defects, clinically we have observed over the years, this phenomenon of divorce apparently precipitated by such births and the burden of taking care of such disabled children.
A couple of years ago it appeared that the rate of autism was beginning to decline; however, that is not the case and it appears to have been a false hope. With the rate exceeding 1 out of every 166 children, this represents a massive increase from the 2 children I saw during my years of post doctoral training.
This is such a rapid increase and it makes one wonder why we as a nation have not done something about it? Such lack of response makes one wonder if it was not planned? While that certainly seems ludicrous, the deafening silence from Washington and from our leaders makes one wonder.
Since the rate of autism appears to still be increasing, what will it take to get the attention of our national leaders? Do we have to wait until 1 out of 88 of our children is born suffering an autistic disorder before we take action? Do we have to wait until there are several autistic children living on every block before we seek to start a campaign to combat this scourge? What does this bode for the future of our country?

This is generic advice and may not be suitable for you individually. Please see your health care provider to determine what is best for you.
The basic behavioral approach to treat panic disorder from a behaviorist point of view is quite simple and very effective. In general, having the client “self-monitor” reduces the incidence of panic attacks by approximately 50%. Here’s how I do it:
We start out with having the client keep a “panic log.” We want to achieve a “baseline” number of panic attacks so that we have a yard stick against which we can measure our progress. This is observable and enumerable (one can count the number of panic attacks.) and from this initial data, we can compare the results of our interventions.
However, just having the client keep such a log and observe themselves is an intervention in & of itself. Just from this homework assignment we often see a reduction in the occurrence of panic attacks and the development of insight into managing one’s self in order to diminish the occurrence and severity of panic attacks.
The client’s assignment includes keeping specific data about the date and time of each panic attack, logging the antecedents (what occurred just before the onset) and the consequences (what was the resolution), the quality (symptoms) and quantity (duration). The more details we assign the client to track and write down, the better the results.
From this we obtain a baseline, that is, the initial rate of panic attacks prior to beginning treatment. Remember, exercises in self-observation tend to become interventions in & of themselves. Therefore, we often see an improvement in the first week; however, sometimes, especially when fueled by personality traits & features, there may be an exacerbation in panic attacks.
Furthermore, I also do an intake assessment of what the client has done to do to resolve his or her panic attacks that has not worked and how much caffeine the client ingests. I have seen a correlation in clinical practice as almost half of my clients who complained of panic attacks had comorbid problems with caffeine.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has much to offer those who suffer from Panic Disorder. See my earlier blog postings and archived shows.

While I called for her removal from the Board during my last show, it appears that Dr. Miki Paul has left the Board, probably as a result of the end of her appointed term. Nonetheless, if anyone has experienced damage in their family relationships due to Dr. Paul and her obvious bias against males, please contact me and I will step you through whatever process necessary to release you and your family from her “spell,” her malpractice.
This is not an offer for treatment. It is an offer of support in seeking justice.

. . . accept another position with none other than her lover & partner in crime former Governor Napolitano. My friend just called me to inform me about this news and declared that Schriro following Napolitano to The Department of Homeland Security in DC proves that the two are lovers.
My father just reminded me that he predicted Napolitano would be taking Schriro to Washington with her a week before it happened. My prediction? It will take a minimum of five (5) years to repair the damage the “dynamic duo” have inflicted upon ADOC!
It just goes to show “you can sleep your way to the top” or maybe Dora takes the bottom?

Pat Robertson: God says U.S. will accept socialism
Broadcaster’s annual predictions also assure economic turnaround

“Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network, announced at his staff’s annual prayer retreat that God told him Americans would embrace socialism in 2009 “in order to relieve their pain” and that the economy would rebound under an Obama administration.
“”The Lord said the economy of your nation will recover,” Robertson told a group assembled at Founders Inn on the campus of Regent University in Virginia Beach, Va., a university Robertson founded.
“Robertson said God also declared, “The steps taken will lead to a dramatic increase in the power of government. The people will welcome socialism in order to relieve their pain. Nothing will stand in the way of a plan by Obama to restructure the economy in the same fashion as the New Deal in the ’30s.”
If you can’t trust the leaders of the Christian church, who can you trust?
The answer:
Certainly neither Robertson nor other mainstream leaders.
Batten down the hatches.

“Policy guru says global upheaval presents ‘great opportunity'”
“Conflicts across the globe and an international respect for Barack Obama have created the perfect setting for establishment of “a New World Order,” according to Henry Kissinger, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former secretary of state under President Nixon.”
If anybody would know, Kissinger would! Henry Kissinger was the bureaucrat who almost single-handedly brought over the bulk of the Nazi science war machine to the US! Kissinger oversaw “Operation Paperclip.” Not merely the rocket scientists but the biological guys who setup house at Ft. Detrick, Maryland and are still there!

Listen to the Arizona Department of Public Safety Deputy Director David Felix in November 2007 “rationalize” and REFUSE TO TAKE MY POLICE REPORTS. DPS Deputy Director responded to my written inquiries with his boss, DPS Director Roger Vanderpool. After playing phone tag leaving several messages for each other, we finally had this conversation.
While another psychologist heard this tape (which is totally unedited) he exclaimed that DPS Deputy Director was trying to intimidate me and cited Felix’s vocal tone. However, I think Felix is a marvelous “political communicator.” What I mean by that is he knows exactly the ‘right’ words to say.
A point of information: I did not learn about the two deaths at Arizona State Prison Complex—Lewis (ASPC–Lewis) until well after I had left ADOC in May 2006. In fact, I heard about those directly from one of ADOC’s physicians a year after I was no longer an employee of ADOC in 2007. Those were in addition to the other deaths at ASPC—Florence and St. Mary’s Hospital in Tucson.
When I tried to file my Police report with the Chandler Police Department as directed by FBI Duty Agent Burns in August 2007, Commander Christianson of the Chandler PD directed me to file regarding the inmate deaths (murders) with DPS. According to Commander Christianson, it was required by the DPS Charter that DPS had to take my police reports or else the FBI would have to come in and take the Arizona Department of Public Safety over.
Pay particular attention to Deputy Director Felix’s veiled threats regarding the possibility of alleging “an improper relationship” between Governor Janet Napolitano and her cabinet level appointee ADOC Director Dora Schriro.
If we had a male governor appoint his mistress or wife to a cabinet level position, we would all recognize that for what it is: Unprofessional conduct and improper. It is nepotism. However, when it is a lesbian couple, we all become “politically correct” and “sensitive.” Heck, we need to call it what it is regardless of the sexual orientation of our Governor!
Stay tuned for more on the matter.
