[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do know that most of what I do has an effect, mostly positive (hopefully!), but sometime negative.

It's true.[/quote]
I don't think that's true.  I have two kids who I've raised in very similar ways yet they are extraordinarily different from one another.  I think most of what you do does [i]not[/i] have a strong effect.  [/quote]
Of course your early environment matters.... a lot.[/quote]

Do you have a special needs child or are you trolling over here?[/quote]
Because environment doesn't matter? You're nuts if that's what you believe.[/quote]

Yes, that is what everyone said, that it does not matter. Please. Of course it matters. It just is not outcome determinative. For example, if autism is caused at the time of pregnancy - a lot of people think that it is - then while the environment is healthy, it really does not matter as far as autism goes. Like with down syndrome - a great environment is not going to add an extra chromosome. YOU are the "nuts" one if you think all condirions can be avoided by a healthy birth environment. I did everything "right" and my child has myriad issues. It is not anyone's "fault" and the rub is that because we are actively pursuing therapy and on top of it and working with him constantly, he may have just as good of an outcome as your "perfect" child. Try not to be so entirely lacking of empathy or ability to comprehend any reality other than your own. [/quote]
