How This Works

God must love & trust these parents alot to allow them to be entrusted with such a special & beautiful child. God bless & keep you all. We need more parents like this in the world today who are NOT willing to throw ANGELS away. Love & Gods peace to you, Cindie, Grove City, OH

Please everyone, teach your child sign language, we have an autism girl, age 12 that came to us (deaf school) and she has never communicated. She was adopted by an elderly lady who loves her to death. Decided to place her into our school, we have had her for over a year now and WOW what an amazing thing sign language can do for her, she is now able to communicate with us on what she wants and do not want. She even tells us if she likes it or not. Please teach your child sign languge, if they are not able to speak, their hands will speak for them. Darlene

My adopted nephew is autistic - and I know how difficult it can be for the parents in this position. Any help is appreciated and it's great to see influential people/bands doing their part.

In this past year I've been babysitting twin autistic girls. They are amazing. I've learned alot and look forward to learning more about this complex disorder. My heart breaks when they try so hard to let me know what they want and I cannot understand. If I'm frustrated,how much more are they. Each morning when I pray I ask God for special blessings for these two girls and for each aspect of their lives and for whom their lives touch.

Tears are trickling down my 35 year old cheeks!! Just remember, God has all the compassion because we definately know that insurance companies do not!

As an educator of children with Autism, I am constantly amazed at the number of children entering my classroom diagnosed with this frustrating, yet interesting disability. I have gained a tremendous amount of respect for the parents and siblings of my students. I can not imagine living with the disability day in and day out, but one thing I have learned, and probably the most important thing I have learned, is that these children need to be given boundaries, made to mind and encouraged to succeed. There is hope and success is accomplishable with help - early intervention! Praying for all of the families out there who deal with issue day in and day out.

As a school teacher working in a school that has a big autistic population, I understand the frustrations that parents go through with their children. I just wanted to you to know that there is hope and help especially from the ONE above. He does things in miraculous ways. May thoughts, prayers, and support goes out to all of you!! Parents, please consider and research Natural Healing Solutions...Remember that your DR.'s are not going to mention it (because there is no money in it for them) but it definitely works... NATURALLY..... Thank you Ms. Sanchez for sharing this with US....

Aubrey is my Granddaughter. Always smiling, starting to relate to her Mom & Dad. At 5 months she developed a stomach disorder. She was given Zantac and that's when things started to change. No longer any emotional connections, rarely a smile. At 15 months, no language skills at all, several other "signs". Also, "put on the list". We're all doing what we can but as you know it's expensive. Still not sure about the connection between her medicine and autism, though. She received some vaccines in that time frame, as well. So much to do, so much at stake. I wish everyone well.

I hope and pray that many people will read this. Be sure to make copies For hand outs. First read this testimony. He soon started using words, simple words. Such has MAMA, DADA, No, he would often bring me is sippy cup and ask for more milk, He would say “Moooore” long and drawn out it was comical to hear him speak. Well things were going great until a few weeks after the inoculations shots. He started to scream out, not cry. He stopped eating some of his favorite foods. He became extremely hyper. Collin would wake up around 7:00AM and not go to sleep until 2:00AM, no knaps in between. My wife and I watched our son slowly change from this happy, laughing, speaking little boy. To some out of control, screaming raging animal! Now consider this: Toxic Vaccine Ingredients: Varicella virus/ human diploid lung cells, Embryonic Guinea pig cell cultures, Beef heart infusion/ fetal bovine serum, Ammonium Sulfate, Glutamate, Neomycin, Diphtheria, Tetanus Toxoids, & Acellular pertussis endotoxin, beef heart infusion/fetal bovine serum, aluminum, formaldehyde, Thimerosal (mercury derivative), phenol/phenoxyethanol, polysorbate 80 (Tween 80), dry natural latex rubber, Hepatitis B virus gene / yeast protein, Aluminum, Formaldehyde, Thimerosal (mercury derivative), Diphtheria Toxoid, Tetanus Toxoid, Haemophilus influenza type b antigen, Neisseria meningitides serogroup B, Ammonia Sulfate, Aluminum, Thimerosal (Mercury derivative), Dry natural latex rubber, Hepatitis B virus gene / yeast protein, Haemophilus influenza type b antigen, Neisseria meningitides serogroup B, Aluminum, Formaldehyde, Mumps virus / chick embryo culture, Rubella virus / human diploid lung cells, Beef heart infusion / fetal bovine serum, Human albumin, Sorbitol/sucrose, Glutamate, Neomycin, Diphtheria toxoid, Streptococcus pneumonia/ soy peptone broth/ yeast, Ammonium Sulfate, Glutamate, Neomycin, Polio virus/ monkey kidney cell, beef heart infusion/fetal bovine serum, formaldehyde, phenol/phenoxyethanol, dry natural latex rubber, neomycin. Can you now see why children are like raging animals after being injected with all this. To your health and success Robert

Barb, I'm sorry but your comments scare me. I hope you aren't angry to the point of abuse. My daughter is 10 and has aspergers and she frustrates me and makes me completely crazy to no end, but from day 1 my goal has always been to treat her with respect. This disorder breaks my heart and even though it's horrible for us, these kids are still kids and deserve respect. I wish you and your family the best.

Yes vaccines have been linked to a small number of children with autism among millions of children that get the vaccines. Yes that is (a few cases/ million is sample population). If someone is worried about the mercury in vaccines they can ask for single use vials in which the vaccines are not preserved with Mercury. But if we do not vaccinate children there is an even greater chance of other epidemics and even pandemics coming back to haunt us that we have not encountered in many years. Please do not let this happen. No matter what children are exposed to there will alway be a few/millions that will be effected. I am not for autism I want it cured as much as anyone but I am also an advocate for vaccinations. I do not believe that vaccinations are the only cause or link to autism in children.

Thimerisol is the mercury preservative in FORCED vaccinations. It is a neurotoxin. Some babies are more suseptible to it than others,however it is poison to everyone! Before Thimerisol was put in vaccines, there was no autism, but magically there is an epidemic now. Please people, wake up and fight to stop this illegal poisoning of our babies.

Wow. Wonder what causes this? These children are angels, we just need to learn why they were chosen, and how we can help.

I didn't understand my husband(5 years now), and I became angry with him a lot!!...to the point of abuse! I then did some searching, and found Asperberger Syndrome, and diagnosed him myself! He had treatments when young, but couldn't remember any reasons or conclusions to his problems...I am dealing better with it now. He will never change that much, but he has come "out" a little from himself.
