Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior.

I have a son who is moderatly autistic. When he was 1 year old I knew there was somthing different. I faced people thiking me crazy and that I wanted somthing wrong with my kid. It took me 6 months to get him diagonesd. He is now 4 and doing well. He is very socal. I worked with him when he was like 1 or so for 6 months to make eye contact. Does anyone else ever have trouble finding babysitters for their special children?? I cant find one. Has anyone ever used a babysitting finding service?? That is my last hope for sanity I think...lol. I have 2 other children that are develpmentaly normal. Whatever that means. It will be great to get to know everyone. Thanks for taking the time to read this little blurb.

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
It is so stress to think about it I can't even consider looking for one!
