Quote From: mamaladybugI have a wonderful 36 year old son with autism. I did NOT have an ultrasound prior to his birth. I KNEW before the doctors something was not right with my son. Imagine all those years ago, autism was certainly not 1 in 150 births as it is now. Frightening!
Those of you who define their behaviors as "violent," shame on all of you. This is their response to the overload of the sensory system and their inability to cope with the same. If you are not ready to live in the structured enviroment these wonderful people demand, I feel sorry for you.
If I believed for one single solitary minute there was a CURE, I'd be first in line!! We've been through it all...
Thank you! I would be second in line. There is no cure. Period. Autism seems to be the hot topic for holly wood to talk about nowdays. It was there long before the media turned it into a circus. I'm all for awareness but they never , and I mean never, show what life is REALLY like. They only show snipets. Those snipets are either really bad or of some kid whose mom "has found a cure". Never about those hundreds of adults living with autism and doing quite well. My son is 18. I've never believed in the vacinnation theory. I was kind of a "tardy" mom and didn't have my son vacinnated "on time". His vaccinations don't even begin to coincide with the onset of his symptoms. I wanted them to so I could have something to blame. But they just didn't. It's genetic. And we've been through it all too. I finally just learned to accept it and go on with life. We are all happier now, my husband, my other children , and my son with autism. And some of you will never believe this, but I am so very blessed that God chose me to be the mother of a child with autism. It has changed my life. For the better. 15 years ago, I wouldn't have said that. But I'm saying it now!!!!Thank you, Jesus!!!!!
