  • Do you really belive, that autism is something people are "in", like "in a box"?

  • Hello Ginger, you've touched an issue that is very difficult & tricky, as I know words like "recover","cure",even "disorder" carry with them many unintended meanings that hurt families that Autism affects.So with the foundation here that individuals with Autism are essentially no different than any other person, and Autism as a phenomenon is for the most part undefined; no offense is meant by the description and wording here.I posted this story to raise awareness for Autism and inspire families.

    a miracle to keep dogs that can cure children with autism

    I hope, I also have a dog like Henry ..

    congratulations for your child who has been freed from his autism disease!

  • Ahh, this is lovely to see the original story. After reading the book, we got a labrador for my severely autistic brother - since then my brother's come to new places if the dog's there, and he gives him leftovers. The bond between people and animals is just amazing.

  • @silicon43 LOL!! I know, right? I have a cold, that's why. ;)
