This New Generation

It seems absurd to me to assume that our new generation of autistic and other sensory issue children are exactly like Rain Man. Let me start out by saying I most definitely believe we have absolutely amazing OT's, Speech and Language Pathologists and Special Education Teachers. Without their help our children would be lost to institutions. But, some are unwiling to see outside the box. Some have not had the actual hands-on experience to go along with all the book smarts.

Are our children the Canary in a Coal Mine?

The diagnosis of autism devastates more families every day. A diagnosis doesn't just affect a child and his immediate family. It touches extended family, friendships, social gatherings, schools and communities as well.

This is a public health issue of the highest priority. We need to join together and speak for our children.

Children with autism are here to teach us to clean up the mess we've made of our environment and to stop putting toxic chemicals into our bodies.

Blog post inspired by World Autism Awareness Day on Friday

I wanted to share the post from my blog at www.afterautism.com on Friday which I wrote as my way to create awareness for our children and our families. Please feel free to forward to anyone you think would find it useful. Together, our voice will be heard. Thank you AutismOne for bringing parents together in this wonderful forum and providing an amazing place for us to support, share and learn from each other.
