recently a kind blog reader mentioned the site: age of autism
it is very informative...sometimes it's hard to know which autism site to read...anything that TACA (talk about curing autism) or generation rescue is affiliated with...i have positive feelings towards...anyhow...i am very glad i spent time on this site...
the following essay is one of the most powerful and touching things i have ever read...there are many reasons it speaks to me so loudly...it's worth the few minutes to read...even if your child is no where on the spectrum...i salute this father...and tomorrow...i will be putting my running shoes back on...i, too, want to run for all those incredible reasons..."all progress matters"...

cheers!!

I usually avoid sites/groups that want to cure autism. But maybe if my kids were very low functioing I;d feel differently. Connor was moderately autistic until he was 7. He have been DXed as low functioning if we had him DXed earlier. until he was about 5 he just rocked and screamed and ate rocks and ran into the wall or people. He did start cummunicating at 4 or 5 ,but not much. Now he is considered to have Asperger's Syndrome. My other two have Asperger's as well.
Thanks for this info. I always appreciate another good autism blog!
