Devistating? For who? Not the Autistic Child... We are just fine thanks!

@xithbaby Nothing to do with drugs used during labour. I have one child, who has a diagnosis of ASD. NO DRUGS were ever used by me during the pregnancy and labour. Not even so much as a cough drop! I was paranoid about all that stuff harming Baby.

People need to stop feeling like those with ASD need sympathy or compassion. From what I can tell, they really don't see what the big deal is. This vid makes it sound like a death sentence. It isn't!!

- Proud to be a parent to a child with Autism!

Half the time the kid does not even have autism. Many parents want their child to be so-called diagnosed with it, so that they can get money from the state and stay home. And do not call me crazy. Because I know women that wanted to get a disability check here in CA. plus all the other benefit's,because they wanted to stay home and not work. They live with their boyfriends and do not tell the state,or they would lose there money and housing.There are a ton of women doing this.

There are so many levels and kinds of autisim that no 2 children are alike. I have 2 grandsons, (brothers), with autism and they both show differently. One is non verbal but very smart. The other is verbal but not up to the level of other kids his age. He can talk and say what he wants but doesnt understand simple commands and doesnt know his colors or numbers. He is 5. His brother is 3 and not only knows his colors but knows his numbers as well. He cant tell you but he can show you.

I have Asperger's, I do not feel its devasting. I have a job, drive, and going to college. you have a lot of nerve to say that autism is a problem that causes divorce. As for my "repatative and bizzare" stimming behaviors thats used to gain access to my world. In my world I'm not shunned n frowned upon. You know what? I'm happy that my imgination will never die, I can memorize number, and love science. I wouldn't cure my autism if I could! Maybe I find eye contact "bizzare" ever considered that?

You make it sound like a disease. It's not a disease it's a way of thinking differently, you see things differently, and you develop differently. I have it and I just learned to deal with it.

@n0x524 - actually it's your comment which needs to be removed! If you can't say what you need to say without using language as appalling as yours, don't say it.

@Stephernova I take devastating to mean devastating as in "The end of the world" I have 4 Autistic kids its not devastating just challenging.

[Stephernova]

@nagaempress I think the use of the word devastating is meant as an expression regarding the inability of the child to recognize or show affection. (Not saying that's every case)
