"My son just grew right out of his autism"
Father: Well, I guess he just grew right out of his autism.
Mother: Yes, but it happened to be the week we took him to Valerie
Dejean.
Grandmother: I guess thay made a mistake, He must have never
had autism in the first place.
Grandfather: I didn't think somebody from our family would ever be
autistic.
Mother: Funny though, how he grew out of it the exact week he saw
Valerie,
One year later...
Father: No my child was never autistic, We don't have that in
our family. 
Therapist: It must have been the floortime we gave him,
Doctor: It must have been the hyperbaric chamber.
Teacher: It must have been the Occupational therapy.
Mother: Funny though. Nothing ever did him any good for three years.
Then after he saw Valerie these other expensive therapies seemed to
start working. 
Developmental Psychiatrist: I knew I was right all along. The floortime
I prescribed helped him grow right out of it.
Valerie Dejean: Maybe its time for a booster so your child can grow out
of it some more.
The Child himself: This is a rip off. I want to go to my hockey game.
Brother: I liked him better before, Now he's always trying to be just
like me.
Mother: Funny, how he was never interested in sports before. All he
ever used to do is watch the fan spin around and around,
Father: I told you my kid was normal.
School Administrator: Maybe we can mainstream your child in another
three or four years after we have had a chance to evaluate him some
more. 
Special Ed. teacher: Junior was a wonderful success story. We are
thinking of applying for another grant.
Therapist: I'm so glad our sensory developmental work finally paid off.
Doctor: Maybe you would like to use my hyperbaric chamber again?
Mother: What was that woman's
name? Valerie?
Valerie's husband: If your therapy really works, how come you aren't
rich like a millionaire?
Doctor: I am going to prescribe the hyperbaric chamber again.
Valerie's husband: In other words the kid hit a snag in his
developmental growth and they called it autism. He came to you and you
helped him grow out of it. Right?
Parent: Can't I do something like this myself at home and save seven
thousand dollars?
Friend: Sure, didn't you teach yourself to type at home using Mavis
Beaon?
Mother: Yes, and I've also learned French, Spanish, Arabic and
Slovenian using Rosetta Stone, all while my child was growing out of
his autism.
Doctor: Maybe it's time for another session on the hyperbaric chamber.
Some Wit: If they really thought she was that good, they would probably burn her at the stake.
Friend: Oh, they have, they have.
Liberal: Who is "they"?
Conservative: Probably you.
Some wit: In other words, if it is too good to be true, it probably isn't. 
Valerie Dejean's husband: This guy (some wit) is the perfect example of the failure of imagination. Actually Valerie's treatment is so good that many parents don't actually believe that it could have h
