She is a gorgous little girl with the whole world ahead of her! I have worked with autistic children for 9 years and now have both a step-son who is autistic and my son who is considered to be on the spectrum-I believe that there is no stopping these children. They can do what we believe they can-no less!This is an amazing video and I hope it raising millions so that a cure is found. God bless you and your family, and know that Claudia can do whatever she wants in life!!!

God Bless you and your family. It is unfortunate that the government doesn't do a lot of things they should for our children. They are all to busy filling thier own pockets. I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you so much for creating this. I love Five For Fighting, it is great to see that they are using their celebrity to help fight for something worth while. I will pass this site on to everyone I can.

Just viewed your video-I have an autistic neice who is 36 years old and I can remember what she went thru before she received help. It truly touched me.

I do completelu agree with the story I just watched. A proper diet and early therapy is esential for giving the child a full chance to recover. There is no cure for autism, because we have so many forms of autism, but there is recovery. The child that got therapy and a gluten free, casein free diet, in early age, can live a normal life, afterwards. Thank you ! Julia Ciuca

"....but comparing autism to diseases like AIDS and cancer is wrong. People with Autism often communicate differently than the majority of our society. ....Instead of trying to 'cure' this difference, let's try and find ways to communicate with people with autism..." Its not solely about communication. Its about fitting in society and being like you and me. What do these kids do when they grow up? What happens to them when their parents, care givers, etc. can no longer can take care of them? We need to treat it like a disease and find a cure or a cause so it can be stopped. Its nearly epidemic - and these kids are our future. And if it takes money to help stop it, thats what we must do. I applaud every effort to find an end to this horrible affliction.

Be careful what you wish for.... As I grow older with each passing year (I'm 54), my heart and spirit ache and cry out for the hurts of the world. Not only do we need to push the insurance companies, we need to push for cleaner air, organically grown food, non-medicated animals used for food, as I truly believe that the ever-rising numbers in our children's current diseases lie here. What we breathe, what we eat, what we are drinking is contributing to ADD, autism, giant teens, premature growth of female bodies (steroids used in cattle), infections, bacteria, yeast overgrowth and the list goes on and on and on. May the Grace of God be with anyone who suffers.

What a precious and beautiful girl, I have gone through similiar insurance denials and frustrations of my own when therapy for my son was denied after a tragic motorcycle accident where he lost his leg. He suffered needlessly for 5 extra months in his healing process which resulted in 3 infections. The insurance co., the pharmaceutical co., the health care system in this country is absolutely after one goal...make more money as much as possible no matter if anyone suffers!!! This country has priorities completely messed up!!

My daughter was diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder and a neurological disorder at 3 years of age which we attributed to her shots. We were losing her but with diet, therapy, medication, and most recently topical vitamin creams she is almost completely on target for her age group. Check out healthprolabs.com for thier Autistique formulations and in our case a cream for her seizure activity. My prayers are with you.
