Vaccines and Autism *our story*

I understand that it's hard to believe. Had it not happened to us, maybe I wouldn't believe it could happen either. But it DID happen to us, to my daughter.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Wondering if my ASD child is suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder. Would like to hear feedback form ASD parents who has experienced this with your child. Has anyone used "Light Therapy"? After talking with my sons OT today, we discussed this. My child has sleep issues and it was suggested that maybe his Circadian Rhythm might be off balance. Light therapy was recommended.

Call Your Congressperson

I'm going to talk to my Congressperson and try to get the Medicaid Waiver Program law re-written. I have the appointment with her soon. The parents should be able to get the respite money from the Medicaid Waiver Program. We do all the work anyway. It is hard to find people who want to help with older children who are not toilet trained. It would help if everyone contacted their Congressperson and asked them to let parents be their child's resite worker. Can I count on you? Our family is barely making ends meet. Autism is a rich person's disability.

And their willingness to learn is astounding. It's hard to find that right fit for a program like this. I interviewed about 7 girls and started out just wanting to hire 2.
