How This Works

I have a cousin who's son has autism and have a friend that has a grandson with autism. Always remember autism is not due to a drug deficincey, it is because the body is needing something to function well. Please be faithful to take a look at "intelligent nutritional supplementation." So often when we give our bodies what they want they do the job of functioning the way they should. My heart goes out to all who are affected with this disease . I pray the Lord gives you strength and faith for breakthrough.

I too have an autistic child, he was 7 years old before I found a doctor who would test him to see what was different about him... Now it is an endless struggle to keep him going.... Very frustrating that the medical world has doctors who don't care about their patients...

my little boy is napping now. this morning he had 4 hrs of ABA therapy..he is 2.5 and like so many was fine unitl the vaccinations stole his brain. The pediatrican lied...told me there was no more thymerizol..etc so we vaccinated him. When we went to the pediatrician with the diagnosis all he could say to us was "just support eachother, 85% of marriages with kids with Autism end in divorce"..."now, time for his Hep A booster"!Yeah, thanks asshole!Needless to say we left, w/o the booster, and we are not divorcing. We hold it together, one day at a time. I am grateful to my husband, he is my rock. and that sleepy little boy in the next room is my world.

I will tell you this much that I will be praying for this because this is not God's fault and no one should blame him.

I think what Five for Fighting is doing a wonderful thing. Now, we must see to it that our government lets all medical insurance companies know that they can not pick and choose what they will cover. They should be made to cover everything about the human body or stay out of health insurance.

This was a very moving video. My neigbor's son has autism and last Summer she spent endless hours working an an insurance appeal based on a denial for reimbursement for treatment relative to his autism. I sincerely hope situation improves and that children and parents are given the support they need.

I came across this site by accident, searching a snopes.com for something else. This is an AWESOME site and I intend to forward it on to all of my family and friends. My nephew, Tristan Riley, was diagnosed at 17 months with ASD. He will be 2 in May. We are participating in the Walk Now For Autism on Saturday, April 12th in Davie, Florida in hopes to raise both awareness and money for this cause. Also, on Saturday, April 4th, at Deerfield Beach (Florida) The Surf Club is putting on an event to benefit Autism as well. Yes, the tears were flowing as I watched as well. They are beautiful children that want to talk, but some can't. Here's to no more waiting lists, insurance coverage for every child. No more "wait and see". Michelle Anderson Davie, Florida

Hey everybody, my name is Raechel and I have a brother with Autism. His name is Eli, and sometimes it is very hard living with him. A lot of poeple only think of the parents, but the siblings suffer too. That is why I made a website for siblings to come and talk to people who understand them and share thier experiences. The site is totally safe and all comments are monitered. The url is: http://siblingcenter.blogspot.com. I hope you guys check it out!

My wife is blessed to have helped children with autism and showed them they they are very capable of doing everything. Patience is key but show them love and they respond impressively. Please donate and keep their dream alive!!
