I went to sign up on the Autism site, then quickly took my name out, as I don't agree with most of what is said & I've had 27 yrs of experiencing Autism first, well, maybe second hand.   Both of my adult sons have it, and totally opposite ends of the spectrum.  Noone loves their children more than my husband & I, and we wouldn't hesitate to do anything in the world for them that would be beneficial to them, & as a parent of a child/person with different ways of learning, I'm sure that most of them feel the same.   I have been on a CA State Disability Board for years, & also was a strong parent advocate-still am & will always be since I've had conservatorship of my severely Autistic son.  I feel strongly & very positively about what I feel, & I respect others who have feelings that they can change, or 'heal' Autism.  I guess I'll just stick to my own syndrome & read up once in awhile on the Autism site.  This is very typical to have this let down, but we are positive & happy over here & I intend to keep it that way.  We're all in the same sea, but swimming down different streams & I wish you all the luck in the world with your 'healing' & 'overcoming'.
