All I Can Do Is Try for You
Cassie posted a song, so I thought I'd post one, also. I wrote this years ago. Kids were recovering back then, too. Now, many of us know many more children who have recovered, and the general mood in much of the autism community is much brighter and full of empowerment.
For mothers of children diagnosed with autism everywhere, if you are feeling like you are on a rollercoaster, and, weary at the end of a day of therapies, you are looking at your child's beautiful face with love and hope, your heart sad for his or her daily struggles, this is for you.

Autism One policy
Autism One respects the intelligence of parents, not only as individuals, but as experts on their children. Parents observe their children 24/7 and have sincere, heartfelt concern for their children's welfare now and into the future. Parents have scoured the research and other literature and attended intensive hours of training sessions to become virtual doctors, nurses, speech therapists, sensory integration therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, educational/behavioral therapists, nutritionists, school administrators, and more.

Autism One repudiates Wired magazine's insinuation (via Amy Wallace) that Autism One is any less emphatic about the culpability of vaccines as the major causal factor of the autism epidemic.
Naughtiness
How many of you have children whose sensory, immune, metabolic, nutritional, gastrointestinal, toxicity, hormonal, or other physiological issues manifest as behavioral challenges? And of those of you who are both active in advocacy and are researching and exploring all means to safely address these, how do you feel when strangers say that you should be focusing on addressing your child's "naughtiness"?
