My son works best within a box.. things laid out for him so he has something to follow.. He didn't do well in college because there was nothing there to made him do his work. When we found out the doctors told us to put him in a home with other children his age (he was three!) and forget about him. He is my oldest son! If you saw that child now thanks to the help he has gotten over the years, he has learn to deal with the loud noises, other people who don't understand him you would of never known how he would hide from the world by rocking back and forth for hours on the floor. Or dump out his toy box, fill it back up and dump it again and scream if you dare try to help . They do get best with love and understanding there is hope for all stages of autism. I raise a son where there was no real knowledge of how to work with him, I did the best I could and the funny thing is, I feel he was given to me for a reason and I would never give up on him. My other son is a great help with his big brother and you have to take him on if you mess with his brother.. Is that love or what? Love them and they show you what you can do to help them help themselves. May God Bless You for the work you are doing with your son.. they are a joy no matter what..<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('37612','Kim Snyder'); return false;">Reply</a> <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('37612','Kim Snyder','As a mother of a 22 year old who happens to be a high-functioning autistic\r\nboy I understand your fears of when he gets older.

A doctor friend of mine recently introduced me to a wonderful woman who has made positive changes in the lives of hundreds of people through her natural dietary approach to autism. I finally met her and some of the children she has affected and was very impressed. If you are serious about helping your children you would be well advised to contact Donna Gates through her website, www.bodyecology.com.

Brausch Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:09:13 +0000 http://www.michelfortin.com/autism-affects-1-out-of-150-children/#comment-37553 Mila, I understand your worry. Autism runs in my father's family and I was diagnosed with severe autism when I was a child. I worry that one or more of our own children will have the same challenges because of the genetic link in my family. It is true that I had a hard time in High School (and elementary school). I was constantly picked on. I had a hard time controlling my emotions and cried a lot in elementary school. I also had the problem with making random noises and flapping my arms... or withdrawing and rocking in a corner... an day-dreaming... not being with what was happening. It is true that I was unable to complete High School or college. However, I have a very abundant and happy life now. Remember that autism wasn't even diagnosed until fairly recently. Asperger's is an even more recent diagnoses. A hundred years ago, those with autism received no treatment and were even more disdained by schools and society. If you think about it, many of our greatest men were probably afflicted. Certainly Einstein's story sounds a lot like autism. So does Tesla, Edison, and perhaps even Benjamin Franklin. Einstein was thrown out of school... for probable retardation. Perhaps your child may not be able to attend University (I wasn't). But perhaps your child is destined for greatness as well. -James D.
