Having 1 child with severe autism and bipolar and now one with asbergers and also Jason my oldest is hearing impaired from birth in both ears. I know how frustrating it can be to have a challenge of raising a child with problems in today society. As moms we tend to take on the blame and the troubles of the world.

Signs Of autism

Autism

My 18 year old matthew was dignosed with autism after years of miss dignoses in 1999 at age 9 he also had bi-polar. a daycare worker noticed signs for both and brought it to our attention. After which we did get him in services and help. but i was always told he would have been more help if it had been caught earlier. the obvious signs are speach delay which he had when he was younger, but most people at that time tough of an autistic child as being one that didn't talk, was unresponsive, then after rainman many thought it was some kindof super genus. well Matthew Did alot of repetative movements like flaping his hand, hitting his chest, hitting his head which are trade mark signs, he also regressed from being potty trained to not being trained, our biggest issue was his aggressivness he broke his front tooth 7 times his nose 6. He had to many times be restained when he got in a rage to protect himself. many things would set him off. A busy store, unkind people staring, a change in routine. Being autism is so invisable many people just saw a "BRAT" i can't count the times people came up to me and said just spank him, or threatened to spank him themselves. at that time i was a single mom and because of matthew me and the kids were traped at home. in june 2000 we were even kicked out of our apartment because to many complained about the "Crazy Kid". I useto say to people when they tried to get me to date that a guy would have to be nuts to volunteer to be apart of this family. well in dec 2000 while on a left behind chatroom i met my now hubby. and we got married in oct 2002. He has been great with matthew and survived many ups and downs. Talk about testing a marriage we had 3 more children and out of their safety in dec 2008 matthew went to live with his dad who had no other children and could spend one on one with matthew.

Now our son Noah has been dignosed from the school as being autistic and Jonah our 4 year old has some of the signs. I have no family history in fact we really felt Matthew had gotten it from the extra vacinations he got in the 90's when the army lost his medical file. as parents we need to demand the goverment treats autsim as an epidemic and allows more research. Granted Noah and jonah if they havethis it's not as bad as Matthews, Matthew is 19 yet mentally he's about 6 or 7 but with the hormones of a teenager. I worry his dad says he has a girl friend yet i know he doesn't have the reasoning skills to know the consequences. at least Noah and Jonah would be getting help earlier..

so write you state and local congressman and request more be done t research the cause and treatments of autism..

I can't believe my child did this!!!!!!!!!

Daddy was fixing a table and Jonah was following him around fixing things to. Daddy bent over and passed gas and Jonah looks up and said "Daddy you Broken" mean while I was chatting with church ladies outside Noah yelled out the door at me " MOMMY DADDY FARTED" KIDS!!!!!

i had to take my 17year old to the ER. he stuck peanuts up his nose. AT 17!! why HE WAS BORED!!! he saw in some movie a guy shot bullets out of his nose so he wanted to see if peanuts worked. so i asked my 2year old do these go in your mouth or nose. he laughed and said "mommy mouthy" even at two he knows. the doctors and the nurses had a laugh that night..

my son Noah was 4 during the 2007 election and my son Josh was 15. well the friday before the election Josh had gotten in trouble and was grounded. on the way to stomp his way downstairs 4 times he had to tell me he thought all this was bullsh-- well Noah thought that was a cool word like most younger kids. while explaining thats a bad word. a knock came at the door. this guy said he was with the demacratic party and " WE wanted to chance health care" just then Noah poped out and said BULLSH--, i was horified pushed him back in the guy then said "we plan to emprove unemployment" and like on cue noah pops out and says BULLSH-- after the third time the guy politely left. I was like OMG of course daddy thought this was funny. i hope the guy didn't really think we trained him to do that. that just shows kids have no fear will do and SAY anything...
