This video was beautiful, and so is she. They finally diagnosed my son , now 10, at age 3, (but not b4 we almost lost him due 2 medical issues our kids have steming from this very complicated disorder.)He has so many things going on with him, making it worse. The fact that we r told our child has Autism, but never bother 2 let us no anything about what is about 2 pretty much change our entire lives, & ppl who would rather judge our parenting, b4 they learn what our kids and family go thru.

I really do think that autism is not something your born with. I do think it is from the shots you must have at an early age. They should have a test where the spread out the time for the shots to see how different children react to different drugs.

All countries need a national health service, IMO.

Healthcare is one of the basic necessities that shouldn't be dependent on what is merely profitable.

Love this, I'm planning to share this on my facebook page..... and I hope people will pass it on.

I do so appreciate that we as parents want Autism to be history.

As a mother of two children, one with Autism, the other with Aspergers, it is my own personal knowing that these precious children are here to teach us a new way of communication. One that goes beyond words. I too wanted so much to hear 'I love you'. After my own personal ability to embrace and allow my child with Autism, not trying to change him, his words began to come. I now hear 'Do you know how much I LOVE you Mom'? ~Tracie

i know exactly how you feeland what your struggles are everyday just to hear the world i love you..but fortunatley i live in new york and its is apart of the school taxes i pay that cover the special education services..

@trishaj1987 His technical diagnosis is Asperger's, and he's doing alright now, but we are stranded as far as therapies go. It seems that our state is a bit bias towards homeschoolers. Despite his insurance, we can't get further testing or therapies unless we enroll him in public school. Our local school system seems to push all of these kids aside as I have a step nephew that goes to said school who is 6 and autistic. He's not doing good even after 2 years of "help".

@ChaoticHomeschooler How is he doing now?

[ChaoticHomeschooler]

@trishaj1987 Yeah, a world where Autism is something only found in history books. My son is now 11 and was diagnosed at age 2.
