Do you know of anyone who has autism?

One of my customers child is Autistic. I know they have a lot of problems with her, but I'm not familiar with how they deal with it. Doctor's will tell you that it is only possible to have one Autistic child in a family, but that just isn't true. I was watching a show on the TV yesterday where a woman has 6 children & 5 of them are Autistic. Of course, that is a RARE case. It is very possible that your daughter's unborn child will NOT be autistic. She should be thankful that the other 2 children aren't. Your daughter needs to join a support group for parents with Autistic children & learn more about the disease & how to cope with it. It is my understanding that it affects every child a little differently, but similar in some ways. Instead of freaking out, you & your daughter need to learn more of what to expect & be as prepared as possible. Some Autistic children learn to play a musical instrument & find it is the only thing that calms & focuses them. One little girl had to listen to Billy Ray Cyrus' Achy Breaky Heart in order to calm & focus her.Out of the 5 children yesterday, ALL had a different way of coping. One was playing the guitar, one was drawing on the wall, one was rocking ALL the time, one was seeing pictures of Penguins, the last one couldn't speak at all & she had taught him sign language.. The MAIN thing that I see as a layperson is that ALL the children just needed to be LOVED first & foremost!!! Through love, parents can deal with anything!!!! The Mother yesterday said she was asked why she kept having children after seeing that she had a problem. She replied Which one should I get rid of??? She loved each of her children EQUALLY. Her only guilt was for the pressure put on on the only non-Autistic child who had to help take care of the other 5 thereby robbing her of her own childhood. The child that drew on the walls problem was solved by painting 3 walls in her room red & leaving ONLY ONE wall white. She was told she could draw in the white spaces & a couple of whiteboards were put on the red walls. She seemed to understand & only drew on the white areas.

I am sorry about your grandson. Now days autism case is increasing. I never found kid with autism in my place. Autism is caused by contaminated food contain Pb when the mother was pregnant. Our world is now contaminated by many pollutant. There is therapist for autism kid while gradually pollutant are removed by medicine therapist. This cleansing process need much time. It is not easy but still possible. Use herbal medicine for remedy the kid autism.

So sorry to hear about that rosekiss. I don't really know someone personally but a classmate of my son's at high school has a brother with it. I see him occasionally at school events.

Hi rosekiss, there are many institutions who take care autistic children. They treat them and make them almost normal. Your daughter can admit her autistic boy in such an institution. I think your daughter should stop to carry another baby. She is only 35 years old and have four children(including the baby to come). This is enough. To nurse four children is a tough task. Now she should look after herself.

No i don't know anyone who has Autism. Autism affects information processing in the brain.These problem sign usually can see before 3 years of child. I do pray that he will be fine soon friend. Good day!
