Autism is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder which manifests itself in markedly abnormal social interaction, communication ability, patterns of interests, and patterns of behavior. Although the specific etiology of autism is unknown, many researchers suspect that autism results from genetically mediated vulnerabilities to environmental triggers.

THERE IS AN 18 YR OLD IN WEST VIRGINIA THAT NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS. HE WAS OUT WITH HIS FAMILY AT A PARK AND HE WONDERED OFF. NOW THEY HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR HIM FOR 2 DAYS. THEY HAVE OVER 100 VOLUNTEERS LOOKING FO R HIM. I AM NOT EXPERIENCED WITH AUTISM BUT FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN WITH MY NEPHEW, HE DOESN'T LIKE LOUD NOISES AND COMOTION. I TALKED WITH MY SIS LAST NIGHT AND SHE AGREES WITH ME HE IS PROBABLY HIDING IN A CAVE. WELL ANY WAY I AM ASKING ALL OF YOU TO KEEP HIM AND HIS FAMILY IN YOUR PRAYERS. WHEN THEY FIND HIM I WILL LET YOU KNOW.

I guess the woman in "Mozart and the Whale" had a point when she was told to wait for her parents in the park and she said "normal people lose autistic people all the time, that's just the way it is." It really is something to be afraid of. I hope it turns out well.

We've lost my brother before and know how terrifying that is. Especially for two days. My family and church will be praying for him and his family.

This reminds me of when my brother who is MR and CP and like autistic, was in a group home in 1984. He was in Woodland Hills, outside of Los Angeles. He vanished, rather ran away from the horrible place, and was unaccounted for 5 days. He later got friends in LA to drive hime to my parents in the desert. He loves to ride busses and he was following the bus schedule all aver LA and went back to the room to change and shower when the people were at school/work. Pretty clever and a good survivor. Still I remember how horrifying it was that week. Hope this ends happy. Still please God, bring him home safe!

I SHOULD SAY THAT I HAVE NEVER MET THIS FAMILY. I SEEN HIS STORY ON THE NEWS AND I WANTED TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT HIS FAMILY AND HIM NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS. I FEEL FOR HIS FAMILY AND CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT THEY ARE GOING THRU. I THINK OF THEM EVERYDAY. THEY SAID LAST NIGHT THAT THE DOGS HAVE PICKED UP HINTS OF A TRAIL, BUT THAT'S IT. I REALLY WISH THEY WOULD FIND HIM. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE RAINY FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS HERE. I PRAY THAT THEY FIND HIM SOON. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. 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...
