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's this song, "superman", It's part of a taca video I saw about a year and a half ago. To this day, I cannot hear thissong without crying, and it just suddenly came on a series called "journeyman" my hubby and I were watching.

I feel so sad. It makes me cry everytime. deeply.

Everytime.

So, here I am crying am hubby wants to console and there is no consilation. I'm hurt and angry. I'm sad and fearful...

Dammit

My guy deserves a better shot at this . It's not fair.

Even with all his gains he deserves more. He is so awesome , sweet and affectonate. This is just wrong for him.

Pity party,

"Bitter...Bitter...table for one?"

Oh, I do feel your pain. Both of my boys are on the spectrum, and sometimes the pain is unbearable. I have 2 other kids as well, so I try to keep going, but I break down and cry a lot too. I also feel a tremendous amount of rage at the vaccine makers/mainstream medicine. I don't know how long it has been since your little guy was diagnosed, but I can tell you it will get better. You have an advantage when you know who the enemy is - you can fight it then. Not to make light of your situation, but at least you have a husband who wants to console you. I would give anything to have that. It doesn't change your sitation, but having someone who loves you sure makes it a lot less lonely.
I will be thinking of you and your family. Have a blessed holiday!

Ya know what - tonight I would join you at the "bitter table." I was thinking to myself the same thing as I'm at the park watching parents complain about their "normal" kids - no fair! Usually I'm ok with life's twists and turns but for tonight I'm not! Just remember - you are not alone :)

Well, I too will be sitting at the table with you girls. I feel your pain, really. I feel bad a lot of the time too and there is this song it was in that movie curious george called upside down I think. Well Sean sang this in a year end of preschool song and I cry now everytime I hear it. The song is about everything being possible as much as it is a nice song it makes me cry and feel bad that our kids have to work so much harder than the average kid. Hugs Denise

I think we need to upgrade to the banquet table girls, it's getting crowded at this table for one!

It's not fair. He does deserve better. YOU deserve better. No argument. Me too.

Have you ever read the posts in the 'parenting' communities? I used to, but they drive me nuts. "my 6 year old isn't motivated at school", "how do I get my son to do his chores without yelling at him?" Please, I dream of problems like that!

    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...
