[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 651600, member: 1550"] Cedar, you forgot to mention that in our childhoods (if you are near my age) autism was said to be caused by "refrigerator moms." And it was, of course, a form of schizophrenia!!!! Of course we now know that autism is a neurological difference and is very hereditary (if you have an autistic child you have a 1 in 20 chance of having another one). And it was considered untreatable too. We know better now, thirty years later. A shame it takes so long, but at least psychiatry is evolving constantly, which is good. Psychiatry is in it's infancy. Genetics is becoming more and more understood in regards to behavior and behavioral problems. Freud is way out of style and was plain wrong with his "penis envy" (anyone here who is female upset that she does not have a penis?") Psychiatry is not something I even consider a science. It is working toward being one. Right now it is a lot of theory that changes yearly. I'm glad too. I never bought that garbage that parents cause this or that UNLESS it is fetal alcohol syndrome or attachment disorder. I am betting that in ten years almost all of psychiatry will be traced to mostly heredity. My parents were horrible parents, but I don't believe that is why I have mental illness. I always though I was born this way and I still believe that. Heredity. [/QUOTE]
