Autism Factions

There is such separatism amongst parents of children with autism and the autism community. I guess no matter what they figure out research wise - my child needs assistance. Period. I don't want to change who he is inside but like all parents I want him to be the best he can be.

There are groups that absolutely forbid the mention of mercury issues (these are support groups for parents) and other that won't think any other way.

I think we need to come together somewhere!!! This group does this, that group does that. If you don't do what one group says you aren't motivated to help your child - BULLOX!

Each person with autism is different, just like everyone else. What works for some doens't work for others. sometimes its frustrating when you have questions because one groups leads you one way and another tries to lead you another. The bottom line again is that my child needs support, less or more than other children with autism.

Not everyone can afford the fancy treatments that seem to bring some children round.

I told one person that I would walk for Autism Speaks. i would walk for TACA. I would walk for the National Autism Association. I would walk for AUTISM.

I am walking by the way - its anyone wants to sponsor us.

What are you doing for Autism?
What are you doing to increase AWARENESS?
